While taking a tour of the newly renovated and fully stocked liquor store and deli, Hopkins Deli, around Baltimore City for decades in the Johns Hopkins University neighborhood, I stumbled upon this limited edition Ravens Super Bowl Bottle by Makers Mark. I learned that Maker's Mark Whisky released a limited time bottling honoring the Super Bowl Champions! Yup, a Maker's Mark Ravens Tribute Edition! Makers replaced the trademark red dripping wax over the top of their bottle with purple and black to pay homage to Balrtimore's purple birds!
Pretty cool find, I must admit. Every year they make a special edition for the SuperBowl winner! I immediately posted and tweeted a photo. My Ravens love got the best of me. Well, my nails are painted purple.
To my surprise, I received an immediate tweet from @MakersMark Nice find!
Tim Callender wrote his facebook friends, "Get them while you still can as it is a limited number of bottles that were hand dipped in Ravens purple wax!" I understand he snatched up a couple bottles. At $28.99 each, the memories and Purple Pride continues in Baltimore.
Some are reselling the bottle (or trying to) on ebay for $99. Well, there is a market for everything!
I bought one for $28.99!
Thanks to Hopkins Deli and Lucky Singh for being current. His store also holds some supremely limited beers and a boatload of great wines and spirits. So the Hopkins Deli a must find when in the area! They deliver, including pizza, wings, subs and more.
