LexArts presents:  a chance to win The Maker’s Mark Private Selection Barrel Experience . . . and more!

Maker’s Mark is bringing the Distillery Experience to you . . . all to support the creative arts and artists through LexArts!  LexArts is selling the chance to win three special Maker’s Mark experiences.

From April through August, LexArts will be selling raffle tickets for chances to win for $100 each – limited to 250 tickets.

The drawing will take place on August 21, 2025.  Winner must be aged 21 or over.

1st Prize

First Prize: Maker’s Mark Private Selection Barrel Experience

This immersive experience will give the lucky winner the unique opportunity to “embrace their inner distiller” for eight guests. Following a VIP tour experience at the distillery, the winners will be invited to the Private Selection tasting room to create their own curated Maker’s Mark Private Selection bourbon. The flavor profile will be barreled, aged in a limestone cellar, then bottled and wax dipped with a custom label (that you name) at the Maker’s Mark distillery in Loretto, KY.

The drawing will take place on Thursday, August 21, 2025 and the Private Selection Barrel Experience must be scheduled with Maker’s Mark before September 15 to ensure a December bottle pour.

The winner will receive 60 bottles of the custom-made Private Selection bourbon directly from the barrel to be bottled in December.

2nd Prize

Second Prize: 24 bottles of the custom-made Private Selection bourbon and a VIP Maker’s Mark Distillery Tour for eight

The second ticket to be pulled in September will win 24 bottles of the Maker’s Mark Private Selection bourbon in December along with a private tour at the Maker’s Mark Distillery. The tour begins with a welcome cocktail and goes through all aspects of production including the still house, warehouse, limestone cellar, and bottling. Guests enjoy a progressive style tasting throughout the campus – sampling various expressions and ending with a Private Selection pour under the iconic Chihuly glass ceiling, Spirit of the Maker.

Winner will pick a date for the private tour with Maker’s Mark.

3rd Prize

Third Prize: 24 bottles of the custom-made Private Selection bourbon

Just in time for the holidays! The third ticket to be pulled in September will win 24 bottles of the Private Selection bourbon in December.
