boone Posted March 18, 2006 Share Posted March 18, 2006 I stopped by Maker's Mark yesterday. A perfect day for a visit :grin: They were bottling the Keeneland bottle, "Rupp's Runts". Here's a few pictures :grin: They told me that there will be 18,000 bottles produced but not all of them will be numbered. For those of ya that don't follow Kentucky basketball :skep: :bigeyes: Click on this link----> http://www.kentucky.com/mld/kentucky/sports/columnists/mark_story/13677823.htm Bettye Jo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gillman Posted March 18, 2006 Share Posted March 18, 2006 That appears to be a frosted bottle, is that a first for them, or even in the industry? I can't recall ever seeing bourbon sold in a frosted bottle (except maybe some egg nogs spiked with bourbon, but that's different).Gary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

barturtle Posted March 19, 2006 Share Posted March 19, 2006 Thats because it is Makers Mark. I believe the Secrateriat bottle was a frosted(though black) bottle also...at least it doesn't look shiny IIRC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The black makes look more a texture than a frost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
