Written by: BAXUS

We are releasing an exclusive 150 x 2 bottle set of Obtainium Canadian Whisky bottles at 150 Proof to celebrate the 150th Kentucky Derby.

This Canadian Whisky release will also celebrate Northern Dancer, the first Canadian horse to ever win The Kentucky Derby in 1964. Coincidentally, this was also the very first year that computers predicted - and predicted correctly - the winner of this prestigious race.

Background on Northern Dancer:

Northern Dancer (May 27, 1961 – November 16, 1990) was a Thoroughbred that, in 1964, became the first Canadian-bred horse to win the Kentucky Derby. After being retired from racing, he became one of the most successful sires of the 20th century. He is considered a Canadian icon and was inducted into the Canadian Sports Hall of Fame in 1965. Induction into the Racing Hall of Fame in both Canada and the United States followed in 1976. As a competitor, The Blood-Horse ranked him as one of the top 100 U.S. Thoroughbred racehorses of the 20th century. As a sire of sires, his influence on the breed is still felt worldwide.
