Colonels_Wear_Blue Posted January 30, 2012 Posted January 30, 2012 Just got an email that my barrel will be ready this spring!! :dancingpa Who else on BGP is a Makers Mark Ambassador? Has anyone attended any of the Ambassador events or gone to get a bottle from the batch their barrel came up in?
All Tell Posted January 30, 2012 Posted January 30, 2012 Never been to any events but love the Christmas gifts they send. Did you get your bottle sweater?
Colonels_Wear_Blue Posted January 30, 2012 Author Posted January 30, 2012 Oh yeah! I should probably have put it away with the Christmas decorations, but it was just too cool. I think it might be my favorite Ambassador's gift to date. (Although the glass tumbler with the wax on the bottom, and the "wax" coasters were pretty awesome too.)
hoopsr1 Posted January 30, 2012 Posted January 30, 2012 My daughter and Son-in-law took the sweater to a tacky sweater party and put on the bottle. It was the hit of the party.
All Tell Posted January 30, 2012 Posted January 30, 2012 Mine's on a bottle sitting proudly on my bar. I really liked the wax enevlope seal a few years ago and the year they sent wrapping paper you'd better believe I used it.
rockmom Posted January 30, 2012 Posted January 30, 2012 I am an Ambassador, and I don't even drink Bourbon.
lawildcat Posted January 30, 2012 Posted January 30, 2012 My husband and I are both ambassadors so we get double the Christmas gifts. I really like the ice molds last year and the sweater this year was awesome! My barrel isn't ready yet but you better believe I'll be getting a bottle when it is! My favorite drink - Maker's and ginger ale with a twist of lime. Man, that sounds so good right now!!!
TAC Posted January 31, 2012 Posted January 31, 2012 I am an Ambassador, and I don't even drink Bourbon. Same with me. I've heard the free parties are a thing of the past, but still first rate for the ones that you have to pay for. I just got my invite for the spring Keenland event.

ColonelCrazy Posted January 31, 2012 Posted January 31, 2012 How do you become an Ambassador and why am I not already one?
sportsfan41 Posted January 31, 2012 Posted January 31, 2012 How do you become an Ambassador and why am I not already one? It's really simple you can do it online on their website.

Try here: http://www.makersmark.com/#embassy When I joined give or take 7 years ago, you could join by nomination only (not like that was really a huge deal anyway). Each ambassador was given 4 nomination cards when they became an ambassador.
gold sunrise Posted January 31, 2012 Posted January 31, 2012 I am an Ambassador, and I don't even drink Bourbon. I am one also and don't drink it either. Now on the sweater I really feel dumb...thought it was a sweater for a small dog.....LOL Loved the wrapping paper and the small glasses.
