Here's another 'special label' 750ml MAKER'S MARK bottle, my favorite hat, and a pair of shot glasses.
The bottle was an unexpected gift from a friend/coworker and his wife, after I made a few slight rearrangements to something inside their circuit-breaker panelboard (IIRC?) or some otherwise mostly simple household electrical 'fix' for them, probably about a decade or so ago. He, as a then active officer in the US Army Reserve, found and was able to purchase it at the commissary of our local US Air Force base. Obviously a military themed commemorative, it features a "cammo-patterned" custom label and chrome finished "dogtag" stamped with the Maker's Mark maker's mark. I do not believe these were offered for sale to the general public at regular liquor stores. (but don't know that for certain)
The hat was actually purchased at the distillery gift shop, I think on my first visit there. An otherwise high quality cap, it features the Maker's Mark logo embroidered on its front and its bill has been "dipped" in the trademark Maker's Mark red seal, with drips just like the bourbon bottles.
I don't remember exactly where I found the pair of 'dipped base' (there's that trademark thing again?! <lol>) shot glasses but it was somewhere local, probably a thrift shop. For these photos (taken last evening) one of them is indeed shown full of its namesake delicious small-batch Kentucky Bourbon Whisky, which was ultimately consumed shortly thereafter along with a toast to honor the life of a Lady who I never had the pleasure to know, our fellow member Thomas' mother Carolyn.
Nice Makers Mark items! I grew up only a few miles from Makers Mark distillery. I currently live about 30 minutes away now.
