State Series - Texas
Distinctly Maker’s. Unmistakably Texas.
Three distinctly Texas perspectives came together around one shared taste vision: warm and expansive. Working alongside the Maker’s Mark distillery team, the Tastemakers translated the state’s scale, creative energy, and culinary traditions into a wood-finished bourbon that is unmistakably Maker’s Mark, yet undeniably Texas.
Bright citrus brings vibrancy, toasted pecan adds warmth and richness, and dried tobacco lends depth and a subtly smoky character. The result is a layered expression shaped by Texans, for Texas.
