The 2012 national title Maker’s Mark bottle goes on sale tomorrow. Not too shabby…if our friends at Maker’s Mark want to send us a couple, we won’t hold it against them.

I think I’m first!
May 10th, 2012 at 7:36 pm
How much?
May 10th, 2012 at 7:36 pm
I don’t think these are the official Championship bottles. I think it’s just a quick one they put together as a collectors item. I would bet money the real championship one, much like 1996, will be next years Keeneland bottle.

I expected more
May 10th, 2012 at 7:39 pm
Really? A 46 Bottle with absolutely nothing on the bottle displaying #8 or the players!

i believe this is the sucker bottle so they can sell twice as much.
surely they’ll do more than that.
May 10th, 2012 at 7:40 pm
then again, there is another side to the bottle
May 10th, 2012 at 7:43 pm
where can we buy these custom bottles?
May 10th, 2012 at 7:48 pm
I’m not impressed but I still want one!
May 10th, 2012 at 7:49 pm
I think I see an image of fat Jesus in the bottle.
May 10th, 2012 at 7:49 pm
If you wait until tomorrow they will be gone. I got mine today.

They are not allowed to put anything UK on the bottle. They are not allowed to profit of UK or the NCAA.
The keeneland bottles are a lil different because they are charity related. Makers actually got in trouble for the 1996 bottle. Hence the reason there was no 1998 bottle

May 10th, 2012 at 8:19 pm
Not the Championship bottle. They will be out in October like usual.
May 10th, 2012 at 8:19 pm
Veeeery Nice. How much?
May 10th, 2012 at 8:21 pm
there was a 1997 and 1998 tennessee bottle…
May 10th, 2012 at 8:40 pm
I remember having to get on a waiting list in ’96 at Liquior Barn to get one. They were out much sooner, I believe. In ’98, they didn’t do a bottle, but they dipped their cigar cases in blue and put Kentucky 1998 on it. I got one of those. I hope a nice friend in KY picks me up one of these beauties to continue my collection!

I just ran to a couple of different stores (in louisville) and they were already sold out. Bummer. I hope they do another one!

Indiana is going to be on a bottle of Shasta to celebrate their sweet 16 appearance. They only made 12 bottles. You know, no demand for it.
May 10th, 2012 at 9:22 pm
They will be released at liquorbarn tomorrow morning. By will have plenty
May 10th, 2012 at 9:23 pm
@21 too funny. FAGo would have been spot on. I dont even know if that company is still around.
May 10th, 2012 at 9:45 pm
Lots of places in Louisville are already selling them right now. Limited edition batches typically are done in 18,000. This one only had 9,000 made. I picked mine up just a few minutes ago.
May 10th, 2012 at 9:55 pm
Meijer in Cold Spring only has 3 left on shelf- $34.49
May 10th, 2012 at 10:57 pm
They didnt put anything about a championship on there because, you know, the likely chance of that whole vacate thing…..
May 10th, 2012 at 11:12 pm
Thanks poster 25^ drove to
Meijer and picked up the last one!
May 10th, 2012 at 11:13 pm
26 GTH & STFU you Tard asshole!!!!
May 11th, 2012 at 12:27 am
This is the only way Maker’s can get rid of their stock of 46 ….Geez

Makers Mark has worn this marketing concept out. I got the original Makers Mark blue back in 1993 when it was a novel idea and they have since saturated the market with all types of colored wax bottles. No matter how you look at it, it is still a bottle of overpriced bourbon.

I hate ppl that buy extras to sell for a profit. I go to buy 1 for myself and can’t find them because they are sold out.
May 11th, 2012 at 1:37 pm
I got mine at 1 PM today at the Bottle Shoppe in Danville. Just happened to be coming out of the gym and saw the pickup truck pullup with the delivery. I helped the store owner carry the cases in and I bought his first one… #8,345 out of 9,000. At first I was worried about just being able to get one, now I’m starting to wish I had gotten a lower number. Doesn’t matter… didn’t buy it to sell, just to put with my other UK Maker’s bottles.

They need a big “8″ stamped in the wax!

I just spoke to Liquor Barn in Lexington at Hamburg Place and they still have the championship bottles available but they are not allowed to ship them.
