Maker’s Mark Teams With University Of Kentucky On White Oak Tree Study
Earth Day as a catalyst, the University of Kentucky recently announced the establishment of the world’s largest repository of American white oak as part of their effort with whiskey brand Maker’s Mark to conserve, explore and secure the future of American white oak.
A statement from the university said the effort at Star Hill Farm, home to the Maker’s Mark Distillery, represents the most comprehensive natural range of white oak to date anywhere in the world. The American white oak repository is part of a larger mission to transform the conservation of a species critical to many American industries, including Kentucky bourbon, and to prioritize the present and future of forests and rivers.

Reason 1: Binghamton businessman Adam Weitzman and Coach Jim Boeheim have a horse in the race. Hidden Stash will be going from the 13th post position with his odds at 50/1. Weitsman said that he will donate any winnings to local charities.
Reason 2: It s back to running on the first Saturday in May. It felt kind of weird having the Run for the Roses in September last year.
