Tasting Profile & Food Pairings
Tasting Notes
The Maker’s Mark Champion Selection Los Angeles Dodgers Limited Edition opens with warm aromas of caramel, vanilla, and toasted oak, accented by subtle baking spice. On the palate, it delivers the smooth, mellow character that defines Maker’s Mark’s wheated mashbill, offering layers of honeyed grain, soft toffee, and roasted nuts. A touch of cinnamon and gentle citrus brightness adds complexity without overshadowing the bourbon’s rounded sweetness. The finish is long, balanced, and approachable, leaving lingering notes of oak, spice, and vanilla.
Food Pairings
This limited edition bourbon pairs beautifully with both classic and elevated dishes. Starters such as spiced charcuterie or smoked duck breast complement its warm spice and nutty undertones. For the main course, it shines alongside glazed pork tenderloin, roasted chicken, or grilled ribeye, where its caramel and oak structure enhance savory richness. Cheeses like aged cheddar or gouda highlight its smooth sweetness, while desserts such as pecan pie, chocolate tart, or crème brûlée amplify its balance of toffee, spice, and lingering oak.
Craftsmanship
Maker’s Mark has been handcrafting bourbon in Loretto, Kentucky, since 1953, when Bill Samuels Sr. set out to create a smoother, more approachable whiskey using a wheated mashbill instead of the traditional rye. Every bottle is still produced at the same distillery, made in small batches and aged to taste rather than time, ensuring consistency and quality across generations.
The brand is instantly recognizable for its iconic red wax–dipped bottles, a symbol of tradition and craftsmanship that remains unchanged for decades. Beyond the flagship Original Bourbon, Maker’s Mark continues to innovate with experimental stave finishes, cellar-aged releases, and limited editions that push the boundaries of flavor while staying true to its approachable, balanced style.
Today, Maker’s Mark stands as one of the most respected bourbon houses in the world, admired for its heritage, its dedication to quality, and its unique ability to honor tradition while embracing creativity.
