Updated August 2026.
Woodford Reserve Distiller’s Select is 90.4 proof / 45.2% ABV. Maker’s Mark is 90 proof / 45% ABV on current brand pages. A 1.5-ounce pour is 1.13 NIAAA drinks either way at this rounding. They are not the same bourbon. Woodford is Brown-Forman in Versailles. Maker’s is a wheated bourbon from Loretto (Suntory). “Comparison winner” is not a TTB score.
Maker’s 46 is a stave-finished higher-proof SKU (commonly 94 — confirm). Woodford Double Oaked is usually still 90.4. Related: Woodford Reserve, Maker’s Mark, Buffalo Trace vs Maker’s.
