Marketing Activity
Starting in 1987, Brown-Forman established a contract agreement with Churchill Downs to market Early Times mint juleps as the "official drink" of the Kentucky Derby. Over 100,000 Early Times Mint Juleps are purchased at the race track in Louisville, Kentucky during Derby Week each year. However, the highest-priced mint juleps at the event use bourbon from the Brown-Forman sister brand Woodford Reserve, which is marketed as the "official bourbon" of the Kentucky Derby.

Famous quotes containing the word activity:
“I see advertisements for active young men, as if activity were the whole of a young man’s capital. Yet I have been surprised when one has with confidence proposed to me, a grown man, to embark in some enterprise of his, as if I had absolutely nothing to do, my life having been a complete failure hitherto. What a doubtful compliment this to pay me!”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
