About Maker’s Mark
Maker’s Mark is made with soft red winter wheat, instead of the usual rye, for a one-of-a-kind, full-flavored bourbon that’s easy to drink. To ensure consistency, we rotate every barrel by hand and age our bourbon to taste, not time. Each and every bottle of Maker’s is still hand-dipped in our signature red wax at our distillery in Loretto, Ky.
About The Saratoga
The Saratoga is a two-story cocktail bar and restaurant focused on luxurious comfort food. This Tenderloin hotspot honors the neighborhood’s vibrant history while bringing a swanky, but cozy, modern vibe. Barman and partner, Brandon Clements, along with the Bacchus Management team, envisioned a bar that puts cocktails in the spotlight, supported by a signature menu, and award-winning spirits and wine program.
