Maker’s Mark Champion Selection Los Angeles Dodgers – 2025 World Champion
Maker's Mark Champion Selection Los Angeles Dodgers – 2025 World Champion is a 112.1-proof (56.05% ABV), 750mL Private Selection bourbon — a championship commemorative finished with a custom combination of ten oak staves, hand-dipped in Dodger Blue wax, and released in partnership with the Los Angeles Dodgers Foundation — available to order online at Del Mesa Liquor, San Diego, CA.
Maker's Mark Private Selection is the distillery's custom barrel program — select your own ten-stave finish, bottle at cask strength. For this Champion Selection, the Dodgers picked their own stave profile: a mix of baked American oak, seared French cuvée, Maker's 46, and toasted French spice staves (retailer-reported recipe) that pushes the classic wheated Maker's Mark sweetness into ballpark territory — caramel coated popcorn, spiced peanuts, warm baking spices on the finish. The bourbon begins at cask strength and rests nine additional weeks in a limestone cellar for depth without over-oaking. Released in July 2025 through the Dodgers Foundation — where the first barrel, roughly 275 bottles, supported LA wildfire relief and recovery — the commemorative bottle pairs the limited Dodgers-themed label with Maker's signature hand-dip, this time in Dodger Blue.
Tasting notes (official press and retailer consensus): nose of milk chocolate, caramel, and peanut brittle; a palate of caramel-coated popcorn and spiced peanuts with warm baking spices; a long, rich finish beyond the typical soft wheat sweetness of standard Maker's Mark.
Why buy: A legitimate championship bottle, not just a commemorative label — custom stave finish, cask-strength bottling, and a Dodger Blue wax top, tied to real charitable impact. For bourbon collectors and Dodgers fans alike. Explore more Maker's Mark, browse more bourbon whiskey, and compare other limited American whiskeys at Del Mesa Liquor.
