Maker's Mark FAE-02 Limited Edition is a Wood Finishing Series release built around a texture-forward, mouth-coating profile — fully matured Maker's Mark finished with custom virgin oak staves and bottled at 102.5 proof (51.25% ABV).

The Wood Finishing Series takes fully matured Maker's Mark and adds custom-profiled virgin oak staves for a secondary maturation, each release tuned to amplify a specific characteristic of the underlying wheated bourbon. The FAE-02 profile leans into texture — a creamy, mouth-coating body with a nutty finish — rather than the fruit or spice emphasis of other releases in the series.
