This wheated bourbon is barrel finished through Maker's Mark's Private Selection program using a custom recipe of 10 oak staves — 3 Baked American Pure 2 and 5 Seared French, plus additional staves rounding out the profile — delivering a richer, spice-forward twist on the classic Maker's Mark taste.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMaker's Mark has been crafting its signature wheated bourbon in Loretto, Kentucky since 1953, swapping the traditional rye grain for soft red winter wheat to create a gentler, sweeter mash bill. The Private Selection program lets fans and partners like the Dodgers hand-pick custom oak stave combinations for a finishing profile you won't find on the standard shelf release, making every bottle a true collector's item wrapped in the brand's iconic hand-dipped wax — here poured in Dodger Blue.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e \u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eTasting

Maker's Mark?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is a Private Selection expression, meaning it's barrel finished with a custom recipe of 10 oak staves chosen specifically for the Dodgers, resulting in a bolder, spice-forward profile compared to the standard release, along with higher proof at 110.9.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIs this a good bourbon for someone new to Maker's Mark?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, though it runs at a higher proof than the classic bottling, the underlying wheated character keeps it approachable, and it's a great way to see what custom barrel finishing can do for flavor.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow should I drink this bourbon?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNeat or with a splash of water is best to appreciate the custom stave finishing, though it also holds its own in an Old Fashioned or Manhattan for anyone who wants to mix it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIs this a good value for a limited release bourbon?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt $79.99, it's a smart buy for a commemorative, small-batch bourbon with genuine collectible appeal, offering more depth and proof than the standard Maker's
