The Mark of Great Art, an art contest from Maker's Mark

For over 50 years, we've been handcrafting Maker's Mark here at our little distillery in Loretto, KY. From the hand selecting of our grains, to the tasting of each barrel and the hand dipping of each bottle in our signature red wax, we leave nothing to chance when it comes to our bourbon. That's why we look at each bottle of Maker's as a work of art.

And now we want to see your artistic take on the process.

We'd like to try something new, something different. Something that reflects the essence of not only our bourbon, but the distillery, the people, and the brand in an artistic way.

We want to give local artists full-access to our historic distillery, in the hope that it will become an inspiration they can express through their art form.
