Behind the distillery more large tanks are waiting empty in the drizzly air of the day. These tanks have no special purpose other than to hold the distillers beer from the time it has completely fermented and removed from the tanks until a still is available. Just like all good distillers, Maker's Mark distills only the heart of the brew so the outdoor, temporary storage has no effect on the final product. So, it's off to the stills.
