Updated throughout the day with quick takes from staff.
Here's when you know you've made it in the state of the Kentucky: they put your face on a giant bottle of Bourbon.
Does March even matter at this point? National title or not, Calipari's clearly won the hearts and minds of Kentuckians. The special edition bottles will cost $49, with 24,000 to be released throughout Kentucky. And as a general point, having your face on a bottle of bourbon is just about the most badass honor ever.
It could only happen in Kentucky, of course; nowhere else would a basketball coach be so deified, and nowhere else would there be enough insane basketball fans to buy 24,000 bottles at $50-a-pop. Unreal.
(But please, no Billy Gillispie jokes)

Official Website
The official website for the foundation and bottle announcement is: http://caliparifoundation.org.
Also, there is an ebay store to purchase bottles WITH guaranteed placement at Lexington’s Keeneland Race Track for the signing of the bottle.
Cheers!

the ebay store
is only for the bottle signing spot at Keeneland. You can not buy a bottle on the current ebay store.
