Paramount Club & Maker's Mark

Maker’s Mark reveals their first ever new product to members of The Paramount Club!



Paramount Club members were clamoring to enter the theatre prior to Neil Young and Silversun Pickups, but not just for the fantastic music.

Up until about a month ago, Maker’s Mark © only had one delicious bourbon. Now, after over 50 years and a whole lot of experimenting, Maker’s Mark distillers have unveiled brand new Makers’ Mark 46, using a new distilling process with flavors created from grains and wood.



Cody Rossen, Maker’s Mark NW Distillery Diplomat, hosted a private Maker’s 46 tasting, exclusive to Paramount Club Members, prior to two of the hottest shows of the summer. At each event, Cody explained the distilling process as Paramount Club members anxiously awaited a taste of the bourbon whisky. There were many insightful questions asked by members, but none could stump Cody, who knows all of the ins and outs of the oldest operating bourbon distillery in the world.

All in all, the tastings were a huge success and the response heard over and over was “wow, this is delicious!”

Maker’s Mark is an in-kind sponsor for several STG events each year including DOORS, The Paramount Club annual membership appreciation party and various Paramount Club Member pre-show whisky tastings.
