Default Maker's Mark Green wax only

Hi all, I need help with Maker's Mark. I have 2 of these bottles marked "Limited Edition" and they have only green wax. They are 101 proof, and one bottle is empty now (it was delicious....). Does anyone know when this was made and how limited it was? I can provide other photos if needed..... Thanks in advance for your help!

A highly collectible bottle - very rare from the 1970s, it was the first version of Maker's Mark's 101 proof bottle - later dipped in gold wax. The gold wax 101 was discontinued in the mid 90s.

From memory the green wax is now [was] used on their special Mint Julep that they produce for Kentucky Derby week
