Maker's Mark Gold Rush x Wheen Bee Foundation

Overview

If American bourbon is your drink of choice, one of the finest distillers in the business, Maker's Mark, is giving you a feel-good reason to raise a glass until Monday, June 3, 2024.

The Kentuckian bourbon distiller has collaborated with Australian honey producers Beechworth Honey on a delicious rendition of The Gold Rush: a cocktail that celebrates the brilliant flavour pairing of honey and bourbon served with freshly squeezed lemon juice — a sweet, sour and boozy combo served on ice that can brighten up a cool evening.

In addition to a focus on craft, sustainability is one of the pillars of the Maker's Mark brand. In fact, it is the largest distillery in the world to achieve B Corp certification. And in a bid to further its efforts to make bourbon that's better for the world, Maker's Mark is teaming up with some of Adelaide's finest drinking establishments to donate $1 from every Gold Rush cocktail sold to the Wheen Bee Foundation.

Next time you're heading out for cocktails, make your way to one of these venues and order a Gold Rush, and you'll be making a contribution to a foundation dedicated to protecting the Australian honey bee simply by enjoying a very good drink.
