Maker’s Mark announced a global travel retail exclusive series featuring custom, city-inspired labels designed by acclaimed artist Alexandra Pacula. 

Available for a limited time in select airports, the bespoke Maker’s Mark bottles are inspired by destinations including New York, Los Angeles, Paris, London, Dubai, Delhi, Mumbai, Singapore, Seoul, Sydney and Melbourne, inviting travelers to discover and collect each release throughout their journeys. 

“At Maker’s Mark, we’ve always believed that character comes from doing things differently, and  this Artist Series – City Edition brings that idea to life by capturing the distinct spirit and creative  energy of iconic cities around the world,” Rob Samuels, eighth-generation whisky maker  and managing director of Maker’s Mark, said in a news release. “Today’s travelers are looking for experiences that feel  personal and memorable, and we’re proud that each beautifully designed bottle is something  they can enjoy long after their trip ends.” 

Drawing on her signature style of painting inspired by long-exposure photography techniques,  Pacula captures each city’s movement, light and rhythm through layered, expressive  compositions. Her process mirrors the craftsmanship behind every bottle of Maker’s Mark, with  hand-painted details nodding to the brand’s iconic red wax seal. 

Pacula said: “Maker’s Mark has a very intentional approach to craft, and I wanted to mirror that  in this body of work. I spent time in each city, immersed in its rhythm and atmosphere, and  translated those impressions into expressive visuals that bring each label — and each place — to life.” 

“Travel retail continues to be a key channel for premium spirits, as consumers increasingly seek  exclusive and experience-led purchases during their journey,” Ashish Sagar, Interim General Manager, Global Travel Retail at Suntory Global Spirits, said. “With the brand’s  distinctive craftsmanship, the Maker’s Mark Artist Series creates a collectible proposition that  truly stands out in airport retail.” 

The Maker’s Mark Artist Series – City Edition will be available beginning in Sydney (SYD),  Melbourne (MEL), Singapore (SIN) and Seoul (ICN) airports in July, followed by London (LHR,  LGW, STN) and Paris (CDG) in August. The series will continue to roll out in Dubai (DXB), Delhi  (DEL), Mumbai (BOM), and in the United States in New York (JFK) and Los Angeles (LAX) in  September.

About Maker’s Mark

In 1953, founders Margie and Bill Samuels, Sr. broke from tradition—burning the family’s 170-year-old recipe to create a bold, balanced bourbon made with soft red winter wheat for signature sweetness and creaminess. Every bottle is still hand-dipped in red wax, every barrel rotated by hand and every decision guided by the brand’s higher purpose. Maker’s Mark is proud to be both B Corp and Regenified Certified – milestones driven by the sustainability leadership at Star Hill Farm, home of the Maker’s Mark Distillery.
