In this episode of Bourbon Lens, Jake and Scott take the podcast on the road to Loretto, Kentucky, home of the iconic Maker’s Mark Distillery. Recorded on-site, we sit down with Dr. Blake Layfield, Master Distiller, and Beth Buckner, Lead Blender, to dive deep into the storied past and exciting future of the Maker’s Mark brand.

Together, we explore how Maker’s Mark continues to honor its traditional roots while innovating for the next generation. From the introduction of the distillery’s first new mashbills in decades to the debut of Star Hill Farm Whisky, a brand new wheat whiskey, this conversation highlights a pivotal moment in the brand’s evolution.

We also discuss Maker’s commitment to craftsmanship, sustainability at Star Hill Farm, and how the team balances heritage with creativity. Whether you're a longtime Maker’s fan or just getting into wheated bourbons, this episode offers unique insights from two of the people shaping the future of one of Kentucky’s most beloved distilleries.
