Maker’s Mark VIP: The Samuels Legacy Day

This exclusive experience goes well beyond a standard distillery visit. Guests get a rare opportunity to tour the historic Samuels family home and Star Hill Farm, often with personal guidance from bourbon legends like Bill Samuels Jr. or Rob Samuels themselves. You'll step inside the family's centuries-old property, view authentic artifacts, and hear the stories behind how the Samuels shaped American bourbon history. The day includes a behind-the-scenes look at the actual distillery and a chance to purchase select bottles when available. Throughout your visit, you'll enjoy lunch at Star Hill Provisions, a custom grazing board prepared by The Chef's Table, and tastings of rare whiskeys paired with the family stories connected to each pour. Private transportation with an expert bourbon guide keeps everything comfortable and informative from start to finish. This is an ideal experience for serious bourbon enthusiasts and families with adult members who appreciate Kentucky heritage and craftsmanship.
