Deadspin
It was only a matter of time until this happened: Barbaro-branded bourbon.
Officially, it's Maker's Mark, which is officially bourbon, we suppose. (It's the Dewar's of bourbon!) And it's being sold on eBay right now, for $99, with $15 shipping, which is also a lot.
It is not yet known if any part of Barbaro is actually in the bourbon, but there's really only one way to find out. Drink it, and then see if you are stronger, more powerful, possessing the ability to fly.
We can't quite read what that plaque says, but if it doesn't end in "Affirmed," we don't want any.

It makes sense if you say "bourbon" in a Mr. Ed voice.
Barbaro didn't have thumbs, isn't is cruel to put a cap on the thing?
That wax on top of the bottle had better be at least 40% hoof.
A trough of bourbon? A glorious idea, in theory.
OK, let's get it out of the way...
Horse walks into a bar, and the bartender says, "Hey, buddy. Why the long face..."
There. We have just gotten the worst joke out of the way...
@Hillbilly Bill Hilly: But he's in heaven now. I imagine that in heaven, alcohol bottles magically open themselves, pour themselves over ice, and walk to me on the couch.
Uh-oh, I think Will went after Maker's Mark. Don't tell Barstoolio.
On the one hand, it's a Barbaro post, so I don't like it; on the other, it's maker's, so my day just picked up a bit.
$99 is a cheap price to fly.
A shot of alcohol will always make you feel better if you have a horse throat
...it's Maker's Mark, which is officially bourbon, we suppose.
Bite your tongue, Leitch. It is (as discussed at KSK earlier today) the best reasonably-proced bourbon in this fine land.
And with all this talk about boozey treats, it's a given that I'll be drunk as a monkey tonight.
Pray for Mojo
So, if I say it taste like horse piss, is it a compliment?
Needs more horse.

@Cinnamon Girl: But there's a shortage of chairs....shortage of chairs...
Dee has already gone through about 900 bottles of Marker's since he died
Drink enough of any brown liquor and anyone can fly.
I am giving up Makers Mark in protest. ITS A FUCKING HORSE!!!!
@Kathleen Turner Overdrive: Try telling that to Thurman Monson.
I know what I'm getting Iracane for his birthday...

Spoken like a Zima-drinking froot loop.
Subtle, with spicy tones, scents of oak, and a gluey aftertaste.
@TheStarterWife: Let's not be drastic.
As MAKER'S MARK CHARTER AMBASSADOR # 25575, I take great offense at Mr. Leitch's statement. MM is most definitely bourbon. The lesions on my liver are proof enough.
This is seriously bad marketing - could you imagine the quantities they could have sold at the derby? And they come out with it now? For shame, Maker's Mark, for shame.
@TheStarterWife: well let's not go overboard
Maker's Mark isn't doing it. You can customize gift bottles with inscriptions and gold wax. Somebody did this on their own, which is pretty amusing.
@Tuffy: ATTICA!
@ArmansCopyOfSwank: Shit. "Munson."
Barbaro Bourbon.
It will stick to the roof of your mouth
@Package: I'm an ambassador too! Have you visited your cask yet?
@Hillbilly Bill Hilly: "How much?" "Two hooves." "Whoa whoa. Do you have a ride home, buddy?" "Not yet, man. Not yet. The night's young."
To be fair, after drinking bourbon, I always got to piss like a race horse.
Hi OOOOH
@Seabass: @Package: You gots some 'splainin' to do, Lucy. Ambassador?
@Unsilent Majority: Shhh... it's mostly an empty threat. (I only drink MM when I am out of vodka, gin, scotch, and rum. Or cognac for Sidecars.)
But when that day comes, I AM NOT DRINKING MAKERS MARK ANY MORE!
@TheStarterWife: Mike Penner appreciates your efforts, but this isn't the way to help him pay for his operation.
Caveman's dog's birthday is in four months, and she is angling for this as a companion gift.
See, because dog food has horse meat in it...
maker's mark "the dewars of bourbon"? in that case...
st louis - the tampa bay of the nl
illinois - the duke of the big 10+1
arizona - the arizona of the nfc
don't mess with a man's bourbon.
It's big bossy bourbon! Yum.
Guess who's cats won't be drinking milk no more?
@Package:
@Seabass:
Fellow ambassadors! Pantsless Party in Loretto!
@MDT: Smells like wet horse to me.

@Tuffy: They basically send you free schwag, and you get your name on a cask in KY.

@BoSox Siobhan: I don't know about that, the one I typically drink is a single barrel bourbon and the store charges basically the same price. Makers is just a much bigger name.
@I Heart Poop: Oh big +1
What did Will drink to cause that palsy/singing spectacle with the misfits song? Boone's Farm Strawberry Hill.
It's got bits of real barbaro so you know it's good
/ducks
@Tuffy: We spread the word about the glory that is Makers, have our own casks, get invites to special events, and get free presents from Bill Samuels.
So they only age this one three and a half years?
@Ron:
that's a club i want to join
@Yinka Double Dare: What do you drink?
@I Heart Poop: wow, somebody's touchy about his Maker's Mark.
@Yostal: that's actually Texas Gal who likes the Maker's, I believe.
Where's my Smarty Jones commemorative six-pack of Yuengling?
