Slight variations in the wax dripping pattern, coverage, and appearance are natural characteristics of the hand-dipping process and are not defects.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhen 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, and his wife Margie Samuels later conceived the brand's iconic bottle, label, and dripping red wax seal. It is a rare occasion for the distillery to alter Margie's signature red wax, but honoring the 2025 World Series Champions called for a special tribute, replacing the classic red with a Dodger Blue wax dip. Hand-selected by the Los Angeles Dodgers, this Private Selection release finishes fully matured cask-strength Maker's Mark in a single barrel using a custom combination of 10 wood staves, resting in the distillery's limestone cellar to create a bespoke flavor profile. The Dodgers' 10-stave recipe (3 Baked American Pure 2, 5 Seared French Cuvée, 1 Maker's Mark 46, and 1 Toasted French Spice) leans into a creamy, richly spiced palate.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNose:\u003c\/strong\u003e Sweet honey, bright orchard fruit, vanilla bean, and rich toasted almond.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePalate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Creamy and viscous, with toasted caramel, warm baking spice, and dried fruit over a soft wheated-bourbon foundation.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Long and warming, with clove, sweet ripe fruit, and a subtle note of pipe tobacco.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eProducer: Maker's Mark\u003cbr\u003eStyle: Kentucky Straight Wheated Bourbon (Private Selection, cask strength)\u003cbr\u003eSelection: Hand-picked by the Los Angeles Dodgers (2025 World Champions)\u003cbr\u003eStave Recipe: 3 Baked American Pure 2, 5 Seared French Cuvée, 1 Maker's Mark 46, 1 Toasted French Spice\u003cbr\u003eProof: 111.1 (55.55% ABV)\u003cbr\u003eRegion: Kentucky, USA\u003cbr\u003eSize: 750mL\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eExplore more in our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/bourbon\"\u003ebourbon collection\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy is the wax blue instead of red?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe dripping red wax, created by Margie Samuels, is a protected trademark that the distillery only changes for exceptional occasions.
