LORETTO, Ky. , May 13, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Maker's Mark, the iconic handmade Kentucky bourbon, today unveiled a limited-edition bottle honoring America's 250th anniversary. The release features the brand's signature hand-dipped red wax, accented with a white wax dip and a blue rendition of its iconic seal.
