When Bill Samuels Sr. created Maker's Mark in 1953, he burned his family's 170-year-old recipe to craft a softer, sweeter, wheated bourbon. Shortly after, his wife Margie Samuels conceptualized the brand's iconic bottle shape, label design, and the legendary dripping red wax seal. It is an incredibly rare occasion for the distillery to alter Margie's signature red wax, but honoring the 2025 World Series Champions demanded a special tribute. For this highly limited release, the classic red is replaced with a striking Dodger Blue wax dip.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis exclusive \"Champion Selection\" was hand-selected by the Los Angeles Dodgers organization. It represents the pinnacle of the Maker's Mark Private Selection program, where fully matured cask-strength Maker's Mark is finished in a single barrel using a custom combination of 10 wooden staves. Resting in the distillery's temperature-controlled limestone cellar, this unique wood-finishing process creates a bespoke flavor profile fit for a champion.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eThe Dodgers' Custom Stave Profile\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBottled at a precise and powerful 111.1 proof (55.55% ABV), the Dodgers' winning stave recipe leans heavily into a creamy, rich, and elegantly spiced palate.
