Lotte department store hosts Maker's Mark pop-up with custom wax sealing

Lotte Department Store is hosting a pop-up store for bourbon whiskey brand Maker's Mark at the atrium on the first floor of Lotte World Mall in Jamsil through Sunday.

Maker's Mark is a bourbon whiskey brand produced in Kentucky, known for its signature hand-dipped red wax seal on each bottle.

The pop-up features five expressions: Maker's Mark Original (750 ml, 39,800 won ($30)), Maker's Mark 46 (375 ml, 69,800 won), Cask Strength, Dokju Edition and Cellar Aged. Tasting programs and blind tests are also available, letting visitors explore the characteristics and differences of each product.

The event also offers cocktails made with Maker's Mark, including highballs, whiskey sours and old fashioneds. On weekends, limited-edition cocktails created in collaboration with artists will be unveiled.

Customers who purchase a 750 ml bottle of Maker's Mark Original can create a personalized label using calligraphy and label stamps. A neck warmer customization program using red wax and initial beads is also available.

"We designed the event so customers can experience the heritage and appeal of Maker's Mark, including its red wax," said Kim Seung-young, head of Lotte Department Store's wine and spirits team.
