The Keepers Release is the second installment of Maker's Mark Wood Finishing Series, bottled at cask strength (109.2 proof) in March 2025.

The release honors the warehouse team that hand-rotates barrels, and master distiller Dr. Blake Layfield says their sensory input shaped the flavors. The 2024 debut, The Heart Release, used French oak.
