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 and one year older than the 1998 edition (OOS) from the same series.
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. The 1997 edition is from the era when the Breeders' Cup was held at Keeneland for specific years, making the co-branded bottle historically specific to that racing calendar.
