Maker’s Mark teams up with LA Dodgers
Bourbon brand Maker’s Mark has partnered with the Los Angeles Dodgers Foundation (LADF) to toast the team’s 2024 World Series win.
The limited edition Maker’s Mark Champion Selection x Los Angeles Dodgers is part of the distillery’s Private Selection programme, which allows individuals, retail and restaurant partners to purchase a barrel.
Maker’s Mark donated the first barrel to the LADF, which created approximately 275 bottles. The bottles will be used for charitable auctions and events that directly support wildfire relief and recovery efforts throughout Los Angeles.
Until 7 July, fans can participate in an online auction hosted by MLB.com. The auction will feature autographed memorabilia and experiences, including a limited edition bottle signed by Maker’s Mark managing director Rob Samuels.
Eighth-generation whisky maker Samuels added: “We’re delighted to partner with this championship team to create a one-of-a-kind Bourbon that not only celebrates their historic season but also supports important wildfire relief and recovery efforts.”
During the 2025 season, fans can visit the LADF Homebase Store at Dodger Stadium to purchase autographed memorabilia and make donations to benefit the foundation. Fans who donate US$500 or more will receive a complimentary Maker’s Mark Champion Selection x Los Angeles Dodgers bottle, while supplies last.
Nichol Whiteman, chief executive officer of the Los Angeles Dodgers Foundation, said: “This extraordinary partnership with Maker’s Mark not only celebrates a championship season, but also creates meaningful impact beyond the field.
“Proceeds from the first barrel will support our wildfire relief efforts, helping families rebuild and recover. We’re proud to collaborate with Maker’s Mark to turn a commemorative Bourbon into a catalyst for lasting impact for Los Angeles.”
Offered at 56% ABV, the whiskey has notes of caramel-coated popcorn and spiced peanuts with warm baking spices on the finish.
The commemorative bottle will also be available at select retailers across Greater Los Angeles, retailing for US$74.99.
Earlier this year, Maker’s Mark unveiled its first non-Bourbon release, Star Hill Farm wheat whiskey.
