The Maker’s Mark Champion Selection x Los Angeles Dodgers spirit has been unveiled from the brand’s Private Selection program in celebration of the team’s 2024 World Series win and to support Los Angeles wildlife relief. The spirit from the distillery was donated to the Los Angeles Dodgers Foundation (LADF) and has yielded around 275 bottles that will be auctioned with funds earmarked to support restoration in Los Angeles County. The spirit itself is reported to have notes of caramel-covered popcorn and spiced peanuts with a finish that will call warm baking spices to mind.
Chief Executive Officer of the Los Angeles Dodgers Foundation Nichol Whiteman spoke on the Maker’s Mark Champion Selection x Los Angeles Dodgers saying, “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.”
