Description

A beautiful scene that can be found at the Distillery of Makers Mark here in Kentucky just out side of Bardstown Kentucky the bourbon Capital of the World. This is called Whisky Creek which has that cute little covered bridge over it. I captured the image with my Canon camera and then added textures and painterly effects so it would look like a painting. Maker�s Mark is a small-batch bourbon whisky that is distilled in Loretto, Kentucky, by Beam Suntory. The first bottle of Maker's Mark was bottled in 1958 and featured the brand's distinctive dipped red wax seal. Maker's Mark holds a U.S. trademark (serial number 73526578) on the wax seal of their bottles.

In the 1960s and 1970s, Maker's Mark was widely marketed with the tag line, "It tastes expensive ... and is."[3][4]

The distillery was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on December 31, 1974, and designated a National Historic Landmark on December 16, 1980, listed as "Burks' Distillery". It was the first distillery in America to be so recognized where the landmark buildings were in active use for distilling.

Maker's Mark was sold to Hiram Walker & Sons in 1981. Subsequently Hiram Walker was acquired by the distillery giant Allied Domecq in 1987, which in turn sold Maker's Mark to Deerfield, Illinois-based Fortune Brands in 2005,[1] when Allied-Domecq was bought by Pernod Ricard. In 2011 Fortune Brands split; its drinks business became Beam Inc.
