If you’re looking to add an awesome limited edition bottle to add to your Maker’s Mark collection, look no further. This year, Maker’s Mark has collaborated with Keeneland on their 2020 Breeder’s Cup special edition bottle. Not only in the bottle special to the event, but it also benefits a good cause.
Keeneland x Breeders’ Cup Maker’s Mark Bottle Design
The bottle features the 2020 Breeders’ Cup logo, green wax Keeneland medallion, and green and gold Keeneland stamp over a hand-dipped purple wax bottle, signature to Maker’s Mark bourbon. Importantly, it supports the Permanently Disabled Jockeys Fund.
“On behalf of the men and women that the PDJF serves, we are grateful for the support of Keeneland and Maker’s Mark for making the PDJF the charity beneficiary of the sales of these bottles commemorating the Breeders’ Cup World Championships.”
Permanently Disabled Jockeys Fund President – Nancy LaSala.
Bottles will be available in limited amounts at select stores this Friday, October 30th. The partnership between the race track and the distillery is quite special. Keeneland served the very first cases of Maker’s ever sold, and has been serving Maker’s Mark ever since! For example, one of Keeneland’s most infamous cocktails known as the Keeneland Breeze has been a fan favorite for countless years during the races.
