MAKER’S MARK RUPP’S RUNTS LIMITED EDITION KENTUCKY STRAIGHT BOURBON WHISKEY

A liter bottle of Maker’s Mark Kentucky straight bourbon whisky. This was released in 2006 to commemorate the 40th anniversary of Rupp’s Runts, the name given to the University of Kentucky Wildcats men’s basketball team of the 1965-66 season. The team was coached by Adolph Rupp, and as no player was taller than 6’5”, they earned the nickname Rupp’s Runts. Despite their smaller-than-average stature, the team went on to achieve the number one ranking in that season’s NCAA championship, though they ultimately lost in the final.
