Maker's Mark Launches the World Wood Collection With Expedition 01 Travel Exclusive

A New Collection Begins

Maker's Mark has launched the World Wood Collection, a limited series sold through Global Travel Retail. The first release, Expedition 01, is the first Maker's Mark bourbon finished with Japanese Mizunara oak, combined with French and American white oak staves.

Expedition 01 is available now at five airport locations: New York JFK, London Heathrow, Istanbul Sabiha Gokçen, Perth and Bengaluru. A wider Global Travel Retail rollout is planned for February 2027.

Three Oaks, One Expression

Each oak was allowed to develop its own character before the whiskies were blended. Japanese Mizunara adds delicate floral notes and a subtle umami complexity. American white oak brings vanilla, brightness and the sweetness expected of Kentucky bourbon. French oak adds warm baking spice, caramel and a lingering finish.

The approach builds on the wood finishing Maker's Mark began with Maker's Mark 46, applied here across a wider range of oak types.

Price and Availability

The suggested retail price is $85. Expedition 01 is bottled at 47.5% vol. in a 1 litre bottle, sold in a blue box marked Travel Exclusive.

The bottle is listed on Spiritory: Maker's Mark Expedition 01.
