Blake Shelton‘s fifth with the Grand Ole Opry was truly a one-of-a-kind!
The country music and TV star celebrated his fifth year anniversary of being a member of the Opry last night (9/22). To help celebrate the occasion the Opry presented the singer-songwriter with a special fifth of whiskey that had Blake’s name on it, literally. (Look closely at the bottle in the picture above.)
Music Row quotes Opry Vice President and General Manager Pete Fisher as explaining, “They told us Blake was really, really excited about his fifth. Then, we decided he might be thinking about a different kind of fifth, so we wanted to cover our bases. This fifth is not available in stores now … or ever.”
How did Blake receive the special gift? “I can’t believe I have my own bottle of whiskey!” Blake exclaimed, adding, “I should keep that. How am I not gonna open that?”
Congratulations on your Grand Ole Opry Fifth Blake Shelton! (Both of them!!)
