Description
The 2026 Maker’s Mark Greats of the Gate is a 90 Proof (45% ABV) limited-edition Kentucky Straight Bourbon representing the third entry in a 10-year commemorative series with Keeneland. This high-intent collectible bourbon honors Northern Dancer, the Hall of Fame Thoroughbred and first Canadian-bred horse to win both the Kentucky Derby and Preakness Stakes. This charitable release supports Kentucky nonprofits including Kentucky Harvest and Blue Grass Farms Charities, part of a $4 million decade-long fundraising goal.
The technical presentation features a 1-Liter bottle, rather than the standard 750ml, distinguished by a teal wax seal and a yellow silk ribbon. The label showcases vibrant artwork by Kentucky artist Tyler Robertson, inspired by Northern Dancer’s iconic racing silks. Utilizing the distillery’s signature wheated mash bill, this expression was matured at the Maker’s Mark Distillery in Loretto, Kentucky. It serves as a primary target for Thoroughbred racing fans and collectors of the ongoing Greats of the Gate legacy.
