Description

First up is a stunning 750ml Maker's Mark Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whisky personally selected for the Port of Louisville Propeller Club, sealed with the iconic gold wax dip and presented in its original gold gift box styled after an 1870s bottle discovered in the Kentucky Bourbon Museum. The bottle remains unopened at 90 proof, distilled and bottled at Star Hill Farm in Loretto, Kentucky, and carries the unmistakable squared decanter silhouette with the S-IV wax medallion intact. This is a true VIP corporate gift release, and as Bill Samuels Jr. himself noted on the box, no two are exactly alike.

The second bottle in this exceptional pair is a 750ml Maker's Mark Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whisky personally selected for the Propeller Club Port of Louisville, a slight but notable variation in label naming that makes these two bottles a fascinating matched set for any serious collector. Also sealed at 90 proof with its gold wax cap fully intact, this bottle comes with its original gold gift box and shows a slightly different label layout than its companion, hinting at separate production runs or gifting occasions. Both bottles together represent a rare slice of Louisville civic and bourbon history, combining the prestige of Maker's Mark VIP programming with the heritage of one of the city's most storied maritime organizations.
