1997. Limited Edition. Keeneland Breeders’ Cup. 1 Liter. Maker’s Mark — the 1997 vintage of the Maker’s Mark Keeneland collaboration, now 28 years from original release.

The late 1990s Maker’s Mark Keeneland Breeders’ Cup editions predate the Private Selection stave-finishing program by approximately 15 years — these are standard-formula Maker’s Mark presented in the 1-liter commemorative format with Keeneland and Breeders’ Cup branding rather than the custom stave-finished profiles of the current annual Keeneland collaboration.
