Marre Gaffigan was born on May 2, 2004, and graduated on May 17, 2026. To commemorate this milestone for his firstborn child, Jim personally selected a single barrel to celebrate Marre’s first 22 years! This single barrel yielded just 150 bottles, and only a limited allocation is available for purchase.

“There are milestones. Watershed moments. The birth of my first child transformed my identity completely. I became a father forever. On that fateful day I was filled with joy, fear, and confusion holding my first-born Marre. (Marre was my mother’s nickname). Twenty-two years later my Marre is graduating from college, and I’m still filled with joy, fear, and confusion. Joy and pride for the decency, brilliance, and kindness which define my daughter. Fear and confusion at the world and job market they are stepping into.

Memento Mori is Latin for “remember that you must die.” My Marre was a classics major. (I know, job resume gold.) I wanted my gift to Marre to be something to celebrate the graduation accomplishment, but also be retained as a memento from this milestone in their life.

Prior to graduation day, Marre passed out bottles of Memento Marre to close friends. I selected this very old, non-age stated barrel for my daughter with the assistance of three other fathers. This Missouri whiskey, like my Marre, is unique, strong, sweet, and makes me feel all happy. Memento Marre is intended to be consumed but also a tribute to a chapter in a life. If Fathertime Kentucky Bourbon is a tribute to parents and fathers for unheralded sacrifices, I wanted Memento Marre to be a trophy to this chapter of my daughter’s life. Here’s to the chapters of your life. You did it. Cheers!”
