2012 Maker’s Mark Tim Couch Keeneland Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whisky 1Lt

The Maker’s Mark Tim Couch Keeneland is a 90 Proof (45% ABV) limited-edition Kentucky Straight Bourbon released in April 2012 as the 16th installment of the signature charitable bottle series. This high-intent collectible bourbon honors University of Kentucky football legend Tim Couch, featuring his likeness on the label to commemorate his career as an All-American and first overall 1999 NFL Draft pick. This charitable release consisted of exactly 20,000 numbered bottles, with proceeds estimated at $200,000 benefiting the Gill Heart Institute at UK HealthCare.

The technical presentation utilizes a 1-Liter format with a signature blue and white wax seal, matching the University of Kentucky’s colors. While maintaining the distillery’s core wheated mash bill of 70% corn, 16% soft red winter wheat, and 14% malted barley, this bottling was engineered specifically for the annual Keeneland Spring Meet bottle signing event. Maturation followed the traditional hand-rotated process at the Maker’s Mark Distillery in Loretto, Kentucky, making this release a primary target for Big Blue Nation fans and sports-heritage collectors.
