Maker’s Mark Bourbon 500ml (1983) is a rare snapshot of bourbon history, capturing the iconic wax-dipped bottle that has become synonymous with the brand. Released during a decade of change and innovation in the American whiskey industry, this 1983 bottling reflects Maker’s Mark’s commitment to its signature wheated recipe and handcrafted process, even as many distilleries shifted to mass production. The bottle’s hand-dipped red wax seal and distinctive label pay homage to the Samuels family’s attention to detail, while its smaller 500ml size makes it a unique collectible from an era when such formats were less common in the U.S. whisky market. For enthusiasts and collectors, this vintage piece offers a glimpse into Maker’s Mark’s legacy and the bourbon landscape of the early 1980s.
The 1983 Relase of Makers Mark was recalled by the distillery due to the fact that glass manufacturer Libby made an error and the bottles were less than the required 500ml (approx 475ml instead). Very Rare
