Maker's Mark Wood Finishing Series BEP (Barrel Entry Proof) is a limited-edition bourbon bottled at 110.7 proof. Released in 2024, this is the 7th and final expression in the Wood Finishing Series, which began in 2019. Maker’s Mark uses its 110 proof barrel entry for this wheated bourbon, finished with 10 toasted American oak staves in emptied Maker’s Mark barrels before being returned to the warehouse for further aging.
It feels like the ultimate Maker’s. Or Maker’s AMP’ed edition. It just has more of all the things that Maker’s fans love in that wheated mashbill. This isn’t a bad thing, and it seems this Wood Finishing Series is the victim of the success that is the Private Select series.
Full of rich flavors, BEP completes the Wood Finishing Series in the same way it started, with a pour that stands out and a price tag that’s still reasonable compared to other limited releases in the market.
