The Kentucky based Maker’s Mark Distillery has announced the launch of a new limited-edition bottle celebrating America’s 250th Anniversary.

The Maker’s Mark 250th Anniversary limited-edition bottle, contains the brand’s award-winning Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whisky (45% ABV) and features its signature hand-dipped red wax, accented with a white wax dip and a blue rendition of its iconic seal.

A portion of proceeds from the release will benefit Farmer Veteran Coalition (FVC), a national non-profit organisation that has helped more than 58,000 US veterans build meaningful careers in agriculture.

Partnering with FVC also extends Maker’s Mark’s ongoing support for veterans. The brand also releases limited-edition bottles tied to Veterans Day and Memorial Day and, through its Private Selection programme, produces a “By Vets, For Vets” release developed by its Service Veterans employee group and available exclusively at selected military base retail outlets.

This limited-edition release is said to reflect Maker’s Mark’s commitment to regenerative agriculture and support for farming communities. As a certified B Corp and Regenified distillery, Maker’s Mark is advancing these practices through initiatives such as its Regenerative Alliance, which provides education and hands-on support to help farmers build healthier, more resilient ecosystems.

Commenting on the news, Rob Samuels, Eighth Generation Whisky Maker and Managing Director of Maker’s Mark, said: “At Maker’s Mark, we’ve always believed that the character of our bourbon is a direct reflection of the land and the people who care for it. As we celebrate America’s 250th anniversary, we are proud to honour those who have served our country twice — first in uniform and now in the fields. Partnering with Farmer Veteran Coalition allows us to merge our passion for regenerative agriculture with a deep respect for our veterans, ensuring the next generation of farmers has the tools to thrive.”

The Maker’s Mark 250th Anniversary limited-edition bottle will be available from June 1st through specialist retailers across the US, for a RRP of $28.99.
