    Where can I purchase rare bottles like these??

    • My best advice is to check is to ask the good folks in the Maker’s Mark Collectors group on facebook if they have an extra. Other recommendations would be the obvious, check ebay and craigslist in the Lexington and Louisville areas regularly.
