Makers Mark Million Dollar Bottle Supports UK Athletics
After producing a five-bottle series commemorating Kentucky’s eight national championships, UK Athletics has partnered once again to create a limited edition offering: the Maker’s Mark Million Dollar Bottle.
The bottle features an elegant design with a silver metallic finish. Noticeably present, is Makers Mark signature hand-dipped wax seal in Kentucky Blue with the UK logo in a basketball pattern. All this represents Kentucky as the Greatest Tradition in the History of College Basketball, in addition to Kentucky’s history in bourbon. Since this is a limited edition series, only 100 bottles were produced. Therefore, each individually numbered item an official collector’s item.
Where can you find the Maker’s Mark Million Dollar Bottle?
Since this is a partnership with UK Athletics, anyone seeking to get their hands on a Makers Mark Million Dollar Bottle will need to donate $10,000 to the K Fund. The K Fund is the fundraising arm of the Athletic Department for University of Kentucky sports. Therefore, these donations go towards helping support student-athlete scholarships. Enter to win the opportunity to purchase a bottle via UKathletics.com/MillionDollarBottle before 10pm on November 10th.
Wait, so it’s not actually a Million Dollar Bottle?”
No, a single bottle is not a million dollars. UK Athletics had actually set a goal to raise $1 million to help support Wildcat student athletes. So 100 limited edition bottles at $10,000 each are helping them achieve that goal. The proceeds will help in the areas of academic, athletic, and personal development of future Wildcats!
In addition to a limited edition Maker’s Mark Million Dollar Bottle, winners will also have the opportunity to purchase lower level Kentucky men’s basketball season tickets. If you’ve ever tried to acquire season tickets, you know this perk carries a lot of weight! There will also be an exclusive bottle signing event, featuring some of the Kentucky Wildcat greats in basketball history.
