Maker's Mark 'Slam Dunk' Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey (1L)

Maker's Mark is instantly recognizable for its signature hand-dipped red wax seal, a tradition introduced by co-founder Margie Samuels in 1958. Because each bottle is individually dipped in molten wax at the distillery in Loretto, Kentucky, slight variations naturally occur from bottle to bottle.

On rare occasions, excess wax flows well beyond the neck and onto the shoulders or label, creating what collectors commonly refer to as a 'Slam Dunk' bottle. These unusual examples have become highly sought after among Maker's Mark enthusiasts due to their distinctive appearance and relative rarity.
