It isn\u2019t necessarily the next logical step, but Adebayo\u2019s latest venture sounds both heartwarming and delicious: he\u2019s teaming up with his mother, Marilyn Blout, for a limited-edition bourbon produced by Maker\u2019s Mark.<\/p>\n<p>Given that Adebayo has played for just one NBA team \u2014 the Heat \u2014 for the whole of his professional career, it may not come as a surprise to learn that this bourbon is being sold at retailers in Miami.\u00a0<em>Bam &amp; Marilyn\u2019s 1 of 1\u00a0<\/em>has a suggested price of $69.99. In their announcement, Maker\u2019s Mark touted flavor notes of toasted coconut, vanilla and baking spice.<\/p>\n<p>Adebayo and Blout visited Maker\u2019s Mark earlier this year and developed the blend at that time. It\u2019s the last installment in the distillery\u2019s Private Selection program, which has also produced acclaimed whiskeys like\u00a0a 2021 collaboration\u00a0with Black Bourbon Society.<\/p>\n<p>When unveiling the new bourbon, Adebayo called Blount \u201cmy inspiration on and off the court.\u201d In 2020, Adebayo\u00a0bought his mother a house\u00a0after signing a five-year contract extension with the Heat.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt was a pleasure to host Bam and Marilyn at the Maker\u2019s Mark homeplace this summer \u2014 to share what makes our brand so special and to bring their taste vision of Maker\u2019s Mark to life through the Private Selection program,\u201d said the distillery\u2019s managing director, Rob Samuels, in a statement. And it begs the question: what high-profile collaborators will Maker\u2019s Mark end up working with next?<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Miami Heat star teamed up with Maker&#8217;s Mark and his mom for a new whiskey Marilyn Blout and Bam Adebayo at Maker&#8217;s Mark Distillery Maker&#8217;s Mark&#8230; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":10811,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-10807","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-nba"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.8 -
