LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) -- Maker's Mark has unveiled the second bottle in its "Greats of the Gate" series.
The second bottle in the 10-year commemorative series features hall of fame thoroughbred Lexington.
“The ‘Greats of the Gate' series is a unique opportunity to honor the legendary horses who shaped the sport while also supporting the organizations that allow Kentucky’s culture to thrive,” said Rob Samuels, eighth-generation whisky maker and Managing Director, Maker’s Mark in a news release. “We're incredibly proud to continue our longstanding partnership with Keeneland, which has deep roots in Kentucky’s horse racing heritage and whose patrons enjoyed the very first Maker’s Mark cocktails in the 1950s.”
The horse competed from 1853 to 1855 and won six of seven races. He was famously sold to stud for the highest ever price for an American racehorse at the time.
The bottle featuring artwork by Tyler Robertson will be available April 11 for about $180.
