Folks in Kentucky love their basketball.  They also love that brownest of the brown liquor, bourbon.  And every once in a while, the two meet and form a union of epic proportions.

So, it’s pretty safe to say that Kentucky fans love John Calipari.  And why wouldn’t they?  He’s brought the swagger back to UK basketball, and has the Cats poised for a deep run in the upcoming NCAA tourney.  Time then to honor Calipari in the true Kentucky way.

Now you, the discriminating Kentucky fan, can own a little Calipari yourself–in the form of a limited edition John Calipari Maker’s Mark bottle of bourbon.

Maker’s Mark is only making 24,000 of these beauties, and at $49 a pop, expect UK followers to snatch these up right quick…even if Calipari’s likeness looks a lot like Joe Pesci from Goodfellas.
