Maker’s Mark — a limited edition release commemorating the 2020 Breeders’ Cup World Championships held at Keeneland Race Course in Lexington, Kentucky — pairing two of Kentucky’s most storied institutions: Maker’s Mark Distillery in Loretto and Keeneland, one of North America’s most prestigious thoroughbred racing venues.
