Chuck is right that most people here appreciate what is in the bottle more than the actual bottle, but I am also interested in the bottle and label designs as well. The Derby bottle looks to be based upon the Derby pin. Is the Derby festival recieving a donation from these bottles? I find it interesting since Brown-Forman is the official sponsor of the Derby mint juleps with Woodford Reserve and Early Times.
On the Jack Daniel bottle, is the whiskey simply Old No. 7 black label or did they put anything special in the bottle? Does a charity recieve any money from the sales of these bottles or does the bottle represent a way to congratulate the supporters of the Jack Daniel rase car?
