Basketball royalty meets Kentucky craftsmanship in this one-liter commemorative release. Maker's Mark swapped their traditional red dip for the unmistakable orange wax of the New York Knicks, forging a collectible that immediately commands attention on any bar cart. It's genuinely substantive and weighty. The liquid inside remains the legendary wheated bourbon that Bill Samuels Sr. perfected decades ago, relying on soft red winter wheat instead of sharp rye to deliver an exceptionally approachable, velvety profile.
Every single drop originates from the limestone-filtered, calcium-rich waters of Loretto. The distillery fiercely protects its old-school methodology, utilizing open-air fermentation and propagating proprietary yeast strains to build intricate ester profiles before the mash even touches copper. Aging happens in deeply charred American white oak barrels that workers painstakingly rotate by hand within the rickhouses. This arduous process guarantees consistent maturation across wildly fluctuating seasons. They don't cut corners here.
- Hand-dipped in custom New York Knicks orange wax
- Presented in a larger, highly collectible 1.0L format
- Crafted with soft red winter wheat for a smooth finish
You'll get a beautifully rounded pour. This specific release caters to die-hard sports memorabilia hunters and dedicated whiskey enthusiasts alike without feeling gimmicky. The bourbon anchors itself with heavy caramel and toasted oak notes, entirely bypassing the astringent bite occasionally found in standard high-rye recipes. It drinks spectacularly neat while retaining enough structural backbone to elevate a proper Old Fashioned. Grab this bottle while you can.
