Description
The distinctive buildings on the grounds of Maker’s Mark. The mash fermentation room is behind the glass wall in the building in the foreground.
Originally known as Burks’ Distillery, a gristmill distillery in 1805, T. William "Bill" Samuels Sr., purchased it in 1953. He began production the next year, and the first run of Maker’s Mark was bottled here in 1958.
The Maker’s Mark distillery is the oldest working distillery still on its original site. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1974, and designated a National Historic Landmark in 1980; it is the first distillery in America to be recognized as a landmark while the buildings are still in active production.
