Vintage 1990s Maker's Mark Bourbon Red Wax Origin Story Print Advertisement
Approximately 8 x 11 inches.
This vintage 1990s Maker's Mark bourbon magazine advertisement tells the warmly personal story behind the distillery's iconic red wax seal, illustrated in vivid color with a deep fryer, box of red sealing wax, and a bottle mid-dip. Signed by President Bill Samuels Jr., this original print ad captures the folksy, anti-Madison-Avenue ethos that made Maker's Mark a cult favorite among whiskey collectors and bourbon enthusiasts alike. A charming piece of American distilling history, this collectible ad rewards anyone who appreciates genuine craftsmanship over corporate polish.
