Maker’s Mark Private Bourbon Tasting
Please join us for an exclusive evening with Maker’s Mark at The Third Floor terrace in San Francisco. The event will feature a private, guided bourbon tasting presented by Maker’s Mark, including Maker’s Mark Cask Strength, Maker’s 46, and the recently released Lost Recipe Series First Edition.
The event includes a full bourbon tasting, specialty bourbon cocktails, and heavy appetizers at The Third Floor, one of San Francisco’s premier venues, centrally located in the Jay Autograph Collection hotel in Jackson Square.
In addition to the bourbon tasting, Maker’s will be sharing their unique story and phenomenal success, growing from a $35,000 distillery in Loretto, Kentucky in 1953 to a leading bourbon brand recognized throughout the world. Maker’s was subsequently acquired by Beam, Inc. who sold to Suntory in 2014 for $16B, creating the world’s third largest premium spirits company.
Maker’s Mark is a B-Corp and leader in creating a sustainable future. Maker’s Mark Star Hill Farm is the first to achieve Regenified Tier 3 certification, with a pledge that 100% of Maker’s Mark grain be sourced from regenerative agriculture by 2025.
