Hittin’ the bottle
No, prohibition hasn’t been declared (yet). This is simply the line at Liquor Barn to get this year’s Keeneland Maker’s Mark bottle. More folks show up every year, but they always seem to have enough for everyone to make more than one pass through the line.
I am a big fan of organization and efficiency and Liquor Barn does not disappoint. They have the bottles out and ready and all of their registers open. They even bring around a free coffee and snack cart – can’t beat that on a windy, rainy day!
Here we are on the second pass with people frantically running to get back in line after stashing their first bottle in the car. Take it easy, people – there’s plenty to go around!
If I have my facts straight, this is the thirteenth Keeneland bottle, with 1997 being the first (please correct me if I am wrong). I have everything from 2000 on (thanks to my next door neighbors having a few extras of the first couple of years) as well as several other special edition bottles. I may need more shelf space!
