DELICIOUS bourbon from Maker's Mark. Ex bourbon barrels from this distillery are also used by at least two major single malt scotch distilleries that I know of to shape the flavor of some of their single malt whisky expressions.

If interested you should check out their ambassadors program. It's free to sign up and what they do is they take a group of people and put their names on a plaque and affix it to a barrel so when that barrel is ready those people are notified and you can schedule your visit and get a free tour and then you can purchase up to 4 bottles and hand dip them yourself. It's a pretty cool thing. I signed up back in 2012/2013 and went and picked up my bottles in 2019.

[@vagabondwastrel2361]

@@RRMikeP Depending on your tastes wild turkey 101 might bee another whiskey to go for. Crown is a very muted and "smooth" whiskey. Mostly due to the filtering process that strips a lot of the flavor/oils that separate when they chill filter. You might also like Irish Whiskeys as they have a fruity or shortbread cookie notes. The other thing about makers is that they have a very consistent product that they intentionally over priced the market. That was literally their advertisement. "it is expensive" There are a few different spirits channels that go into the production side of it. Still it and the whiskey tribe are the two main ones that I know of.

[@RRMikeP]

@@vagabondwastrel2361 Thanks for that. I actually discovered Makers Mark roughly a decade ago. Since then, I have been trying a lot of different whiskeys.

I'm a fan of Makers. I will point out that the soft winter wheat is not traditional, the majority of bourbons use rye instead of wheat to create a spicier pour. Other well known "wheaters" include Larceny, Rebel Yell, and (of course) the mythical Pappy Van Winkle. I believe that Makers Mark is unique in moving each barrel during the aging process.

I can 'just' tell the difference between Monkey's Shoulder and Makers Mark. having been introduced in the 90's to Maker mark it has a great nose, is fine against the pallet and a superb after meal treat that relaxes and rewards.

[@CaseNumber00]

Maker Mark is rather unique as a bourbon. Most bourbon are made of at least 51% corn, mandated by law like the video said, then barely, and rye. Makers Mark replaces the rye with wheat and is a member of the wheated bourbon class of whiskey. Replacing rye with wheat makes a significantly smoother whiskey to the taste lessening the burn and other harsh tastes. I prefer wheated bourbons for mixing drinks to taste more of the drink than the burn since most people, including myself, cant make a balanced cocktail.

Saw the story behind Maker's Mark on the History Channel. The guy who started this brand had a different brand run by his family for generations. After his father died and because of Prohibition and World War Two, he sold that brand to a different company. After several different business ventures, his wife told him to make whiskey. To make his new whiskey brand different from the old one, he burned the only handwritten recipe of the old family brand. Instead of testing different grain ratios as whiskey, which takes years, he and his wife baked bread to find the right ratio of grains. Once they found the right formula, that's when the whiskey started to be made. The guy's wife is the first person to hand dip the bottles in wax. This brand helped set American whiskey apart from other whiskeys that were being brought over from Europe and through Canada. Even though I don't drink alcohol, the story is very fascinating to me.

Things worth noting but beyond the scope of this is that many Bourbon's are actually not "wheated," wheating is to bourbon almost like what a different malt is to scotch, it's done selectively and intentionally by specific distilleries to achieve a specific flavor profile. Makers does do a darn good job of making a wheated bourbon. The other thing is why they use iron free water. I mean certainly part of it is that the specific mineral content of the springs in Kentucky are a huge part of what makes Bourbon taste like bourbon, but iron in water of course can oxidize among other things which will impact the flavors during fermentation. This is also why if you're drinking it neat at home and you want to dilute it down to 80 proof or so (which is often recommended, it's sold cask strength to stand up on it's own with ice or what have you and not always intended to be sipped that strong) you are supposed to use an iron free mineral water as close to a Kentucky spring water as practical to preserve the intended taste.

I'm not really a Bourbon fan. I mainly drink scotch but Markers Mark is actually really nice

[@robertreisner6119]

Makers Mark bourbon is my favorite in my Old Fashion mixed drink. Basil Hayden is also great for this drink with a simply mix for the same drink. I've been a bourbon user for a long time with no hang overs, but l don't do it more than once a month, 1 l drive, 2 or more taxi. Do not drink and drive.

Then the used maker’s mark barrels are shipped to Scotland and used to age Scotch at the Laphroaig distillery.

Are they really ?

[@shavedwolf87]

@@ForestxWalker06 Yes. Scotch distilleries age their whiskey in used American oak barrels. I am not sure who supplies to whom in all cases, I just know that Maker’s Mark supplies to Laphroaig.
