2001 Maker’s Mark Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey Red, White, & Blue Wax (Vintage)

Maker’s Mark is a renowned bourbon brand that traces its origins back to 1953 when it was founded by Bill Samuels Sr. in Loretto, Kentucky. Distinctive for its handcrafted approach and iconic red wax seal, Maker’s Mark stands out as a premium bourbon known for its smoothness and flavor. The recipe, crafted by Bill Samuels Sr. with the help of a chemist, features a high wheat content, resulting in a sweeter, more mellow taste compared to traditional bourbon recipes. Maker’s Mark has remained family-owned and operated, adhering to its founder’s vision of producing exceptional whiskey using time-honored methods. Today, it remains a beloved favorite among bourbon enthusiasts worldwide, revered for its quality and craftsmanship. Maker’s Mark Red, White, and Blue Wax Bottle from 2001 is a limited-edition commemorative release created to honor the victims and heroes of the September 11 attacks. Featuring the brand’s signature hand-dipped wax seal in a tri-color pattern—red, white, and blue—this bottle symbolizes national unity and remembrance. While Maker’s Mark has released other special-edition bottles with unique wax colors, the 2001 edition stands out for its historical significance and the distinctive wax drips that make each bottle one-of-a-kind, making it a highly sought-after item among collectors.
