Official Kentucky Derby 151 Mint Julep Glass Unveiled
LOUISVILLE, Ky. (Monday, December 16, 2024) – The official Kentucky Derby 151 Mint Julep Glass was unveiled Monday by Churchill Downs and is now available for presale at www.KentuckyDerbyStore.com.
Since its inception in 1938, the Kentucky Derby Mint Julep Glass has grown in popularity and is viewed by many authorities as the leading Derby collectible.
This year’s design pays homage to the historical racetrack with the legendary Twin Spires featured in the Kentucky Derby 151 logo and in a frosted motif on the glass. Every official Kentucky Derby winner – from Aristides in 1875 to Mystik Dan in 2024 – wrap around the bottom of the glass.
Kentucky Derby mint julep glasses will appear on the shelves of select retailers in early 2025, according to track officials.
Tickets for the 151st Kentucky Oaks and Kentucky Derby can be secured by visiting www.KentuckyDerby.com and www.DerbyExperiences.com or by calling (502) 636-4447.
