The relationship between Maker’s Mark and Keeneland Race Course is a special one. In fact, the first case of Maker’s Mark we ever sold was served at Keeneland in 1958. Maker’s Mark and Keeneland are two Kentucky icons committed to giving back to the community. Since 1997, we have collaborated on an annual commemorative Maker’s Mark bottle to help raise millions of dollars for local charities.

Through the strategic partnership with LexArts, proceeds from the sale of these commemorative bottles will provide funding for the creation of a permanent public art legacy project. Miniature bronze horses will be creatively placed throughout downtown Lexington, creating an interactive tour to find each one. These tiny statues will delight visitors and fans of all ages, heralding the past and present stories of Kentucky culture.
