Spotlight on Borchetta Bourbon's Limited Edition Race Car Bourbon: A Collector's Dream

At Big Machine Distillery, we blend bold flavors with a passion for motorsports heritage, and our Borchetta Bourbon Race Car Series is the ultimate expression of that combination. Each year, we release a limited edition bottle that celebrates racing icons and the spirit of competition, offering both a unique drinking experience and a must-have collectible for bourbon lovers and race fans alike.

A Collector’s Dream: Unique Bottles, Timeless Heritage

What sets Borchetta Bourbon apart? Every year, we release a new race car-inspired design that honors a significant moment in motorsports history. These bottles are hand-labeled and topped with a custom Indy car stopper, making them a true collector's item. Let’s take a quick look at the history of our annual race car releases:

  • 2021: We kicked off our Race Car Bourbon series with a tribute to Nashville's motorsports heritage. The bottle features a photo from the 1911 Indy 500 at the Nashville Fairgrounds and a replica of the Marmon Wasp, the car that won that legendary race. This limited-edition cask-strength, single-barrel bourbon captured the bold, historic spirit of both racing and Tennessee craftsmanship.

  • 2022: The 2022 bottle paid homage to Bobby Unser's 1972 AAR Eagle, the first IndyCar to break the 200 mph barrier. This release celebrated not only the iconic race car but also the Borchetta Bourbon Music City Grand Prix, the race we proudly sponsor.

  • 2023: The Borchetta Bourbon Race Car Series continued with a tribute to racing legend Mario Andretti. This single-barrel, cask-strength bourbon commemorated Andretti’s legendary career and celebrated the ongoing connection between Borchetta Bourbon and the Music City Grand Prix.

  • 2024: The 2024 release shines a spotlight on Chip Ganassi Racing or A.J. Foyt Racing—teams closely tied to the Music City Grand Prix and the rich history of IndyCar racing. These iconic race car models are featured on the bottle, making it another must-have for collectors and race fans.

  • 2025: The 2025 Borchetta Bourbon features a Chip Ganassi Racing Dallara DW12 IndyCar stopper—a tribute to the team’s dominance in the IndyCar Series, including multiple victories at the Indianapolis 500. This limited edition bourbon celebrates a legacy of excellence that has shaped the history of motorsports.

Craftsmanship Meets Bold Flavor

Borchetta Bourbon isn’t just about the label—it’s about the exceptional quality in every bottle. Our bourbon is crafted from hand-selected, aged Tennessee barrels, made with heirloom corn, stone-milled, and distilled using local creek water. The result is a smooth, bold bourbon that reflects the same precision and dedication that goes into building championship-winning race cars.

Each bottle is copper pot distilled, creating a smooth, refined spirit with deep caramel, oak, and smoky notes—perfect for sipping or adding to your favorite cocktail.

Borchetta Bourbon’s Race Car Edition is more than just a drink—it’s a celebration of motorsports, craftsmanship, and tradition. Whether you’re a bourbon enthusiast, a racing fan, or a collector, these limited-edition releases are a rare find that won’t last long.
