"Since the founding of Maker's Mark in 1953, achieving the distinctive flavor and quality of our whisky has remained a direct reflection of the environment that surrounds us," Rob Samuels, an eighth-generation whisky maker and grandson of the Maker's Mark founders, said in a news release Thursday. "We're proud to offer these new, immersive experiences that not only let visitors explore the natural beauty that Star Hill Farm has to offer, but also better understand and appreciate nature’s influence on the whisky in their glass."
