Description
The Maker’s Mark Double Dip Red Sox World Series Championship 2018 is a strictly limited special bottling that was released in honour of the World Series victory of the Boston Red Sox in 2018. With 45% alcohol by volume and in a generous 1-litre bottle, this edition stands out not only for its content but also for its presentation: The bottle has been double-dipped in red wax in characteristic Maker’s Mark style – as a visual symbol of the Red Sox’ historic “double-dip” triumph.
Inside is the classic Kentucky Straight Bourbon from Maker’s Mark: a handcrafted small batch bourbon based on red winter wheat instead of the usual rye. This gives the whiskey its particularly smooth, round flavour profile. It is matured in heavily burnt oak barrels, which also provides the typical vanilla, caramel and oak flavours that make Maker’s Mark so popular.
This special edition is a highlight for whiskey collectors, sports fans and lovers of American cultural history – a rare combination of authentic bourbon craftsmanship and sporting history.
Tasting NoteColour: Warm amber with a golden shimmer.
Nose: Gentle with vanilla, honey, burnt sugar and a light woody note.
Flavour: Full-bodied, smooth and balanced with notes of caramel, toasted oak, sweet corn and some spice.
Finish: Medium-long, smooth and slightly sweet with gentle vanilla and oak notes.
Best enjoyed neat or on a large ice cube to fully savour the soft mouthfeel and vanilla flavours. Also ideal for classic bourbon cocktails such as Old Fashioned or Whiskey Sour. The collector’s bottle is also perfect as a gift for baseball fans or as a highlight in any bar with a sporty flavour. A real rarity for lovers of American bourbon with a cultural connection.
