Makers Mark Champion Selection x Los Angeles Dodgers Bourbon

When two American icons—Maker’s Mark and the Los Angeles Dodgers—join forces, the result is more than a collectible bottle of bourbon. The newly unveiled Makers Mark Champion Selection x Los Angeles Dodgers Bourbon is a heartfelt tribute to the team’s 2024 World Series championship season, as well as a powerful tool for charitable impact.

This collaboration is driven by a shared commitment to excellence and a strong sense of community. Maker’s Mark has donated the first barrel—approximately 275 bottles— to the Los Angeles Dodgers Foundation (LADF), with proceeds supporting wildfire relief and recovery efforts throughout Los Angeles. While the Dodgers celebrate on the field, this bourbon ensures their legacy resonates far beyond the ballpark.

Makers Mark Champion Selection: The Flavor of a Championship

Crafted as part of the brand’s Private Selection program, the Makers Mark Champion Selection Bourbon reflects the same dedication to detail that defines a championship team. Bottled at a bold yet smooth 112.1 proof, it delivers a layered and memorable tasting experience that speaks to seasoned palates.

On the nose, there’s a buttery sweetness reminiscent of caramel-coated popcorn—a subtle nod to stadium snacks, elevated by bourbon’s oak-forward maturity. The first sip reveals spiced roasted peanuts, carrying a salty-savory edge that transitions into warm baking spices—cinnamon, clove, and a hint of nutmeg. The finish lingers with structure, bringing a warmth that feels both nostalgic and celebratory.

This is no mass-market tribute. The Makers Mark Champion Selection x Los Angeles Dodgers collab is a thoughtfully crafted bourbon that honors both the craft of whiskey making and the electrifying energy of a championship season. It’s complex without being showy, bold without being brash—just like the team it honors.

Makers Mark Champion Selection: Where and How to Get It

The first 275 bottles from the initial barrel have been earmarked exclusively for LADF charitable initiatives. Fans who donate $500 or more to the Los Angeles Dodgers Foundation during home games will receive a complimentary bottle of the Makers Mark Champion Selection x Los Angeles Dodgers Bourbon, while supplies last. These bottles will also be featured in online charity auctions through MLB.com between June 25 and July 7, including select bottles signed by Maker’s Mark Managing Director Rob Samuels.

Beyond the charity release, a limited number of bottles will hit select retailers across Greater Los Angeles, priced at a suggested retail of $74.99.

The Makers Mark Champion Selection x Los Angeles Dodgers Bourbon does something that few limited-edition bottles manage to do: it bridges celebration with substance. This isn’t just about branding or sports memorabilia—it’s about craftsmanship being used as a conduit for good. From supporting families affected by wildfires to giving fans a piece of their team’s triumphant season, this bourbon becomes more than a spirit. It becomes a symbol.

In the ever-expanding world of collectible bourbons, this bottle stands out—not only for its flavor profile and proof point but for the intention behind it. It’s a bottle worth opening, toasting, and reflecting on—just as you would a hard-fought championship win.
