Bought my first Maker's today and I thought I'd revisit this video as I drank it...absolutely spot on review. It's just cozy like a nice warm hug and not too sweet (sorry, I can't pick notes and all that jazz, I'm new at this and it's just a damn good whiskey). I'd say this is a good transition whiskey from scotch to bourbon actually. Could be just me but that's what I get from it? Idk. May depend on what scotch you actually drink. I was lucky to get mine ten bucks off so good value as well. The time around Father's Day is great to pick up cologne and booze I've discovered. Even got a free pair of Maker's Mark socks with my purchase lol.

Just opened my second bottle of Maker's Mark. The first one I bought (about a year ago) was at the start of my Whiskey journey as my second ever Bourbon (and also just second whiskey). I wasn't used to drinking whiskey on its own so I'd used it for cocktails but now going back to it and being able to appreciate whiskey neat.. Wow, it really is some stuff, very smooth and ''welcoming'' if I could say. For a 45% ABV whisky, drinks very easily. I would recommend it to anyone who's never tasted bourbon before, no wonder it made your definitive beginner Bourbon buying guide. As you would say, it's definitely a ''Stock it'' !

I usually have this in my bar, but I much prefer Makers 46 and it is one of my go to Bourbon's along with FR Single Barrel and EC 12. The MM Cask strength is truly fantastic. I always wondered why MM does not put out a 10 to 12 year Bourbon. They must have some older barrels stashed somewhere.

I remember drinking this back in the day and thinking the barley was overwhelming. However, during 2020, in the first wave of COVID I studied on different types of beer (inspired by Jim Koch, the founder of Samuel Adams and Boston Beer Company) and took a liking on ale, lager, weissbier and hefeweizen: the latter two are made with wheat. Let's say I tried this on leave (in the army now), and frankly, it tastes a lot better than it did 4 years ago. Beer sure can change a man's palate.

Oh Man! You have got to review the Cask Strength Makers Mark. A recent convert to Makers Mark, my son in law got a small bottle of the Cask strength at 110.3 proof When I nose it, the first thing I get is sweet vanilla, cinnamon, honey, and toffee. Awesome nose. The taste first hits with that sweetness, which fades to the spice notes, and then a slight astringent finish. Adding a touch of water, brings out a LOT of the spice and toffee in the nose, and enhances the butter toffee in the taste. This is a really good bourbon. Enjoy.

Really great review. And I totally understand your lack of words to describe why you like this bourbon so much. Its the I know what I like when like it but don't ask me why. Very nicely balanced bourbon and the wheat keeps things "calm" compared to rye. Another thing is that on the video opening the bottle is full but on review it is pushing way lower in the bottle. I am sure all that practice was necessary.

I had to give a dram of this to my dad when he accidentally found my whisky stash. He described the taste as reminiscent of sugar wine, or kilju, which is a traditional homemade alcoholic beverage in my country. Making sugar wine has been illegal for years because a state-owned liquor store chain Alko has a monopoly guaranteed by law here. Obviously beer,cider,long drink and wine can be found in grocery stores but hard liquor only in Alko.

I wasn't expecting much from a 25€ bottle, but when I tried it, I was afraid I might finish the whole bottle at once. I liked it that much. I wonder if there's anything similar out there? UPD: recently figured out that I liked my first bottle coz it spent a month in a trunk of my car on a hot summer. The heat brought forward heavily roasted popcorn covered in honey flavor. The fresh bottle is nowhere near as awesome. So now I have 4 more bottles riding in my trunk 8)

I sit here with an ounce of Makers Mark in my glass, sans ice, which I usually enjoy with my bourbon. Nosing this, I pick up a spice, cinnamon, sweet, light honey and oak undertones, not a lot of that though. Tasting I pick up an immediate sweetness to the tip of the tongue. Letting it roll back, I get a strong spice note and cinnamon, with honey undertones, and some oak. This is a different animal that what I am used to. I have Evan Williams Black label as my everyday bourbon. I find it has a heavy smoke and oak flavor and aroma, with spice, cinnamon, a touch of honey and alcohol on the finish. This is almost the opposite. With a sweetness and spice up front, and mellow smoke on the end with cinnamon.I expected more harshness with this being 90 proof, but it is well blended, and not harsh at all. You are spot on about it heating the back of the throat. Its not felt on the tongue, but its there at the back, but not unpleasant. Thanks for the recommendation. I will make this a mainstay on my bar. If you like bourbon at all, you should enjoy this.

Enjoy your videos. Still trying to find out if my tastes are normal or I'm just different. Totally disliked MM at first. Worked through a bottle because ? well, I had it. By the end of the bottle I could tolerate it. Will give it another chance. Bought a bottle of Buffalo Trace because it was $12 and I liked the name. Really enjoyed it. Went to get another bottle and now it's popular and $27 here. M&M costs less and it's supposed to be better? LOL Figures. Really enjoy your videos tho. Excellent! Thank you

WD- A question. I have read on other bourbon sites that the reason why Eagle Rare can vary in taste is that they don't clean the bottling equipment from barrel to barrel. This was supposedly coming directly from the distiller itself (Buffalo Trace). I know you can't believe everything you read on the Internet, but I found this news to be unsettling to me. Can you confirm? Or perhaps can anyone else here chime in with info?
@TheWhiskeyDictionary
@TheWhiskeyDictionary 6 жыл бұрын
I covered this in my Eagle Rare video actually. It's TRUE but not quite as you write it. It's more that they fill the bottles as if they were single barrel bottles... but there will be some barrels emptying and another one starting into the tailing bottle. So one bottle between the two barrels will be a combination. If you ask me, Eagle rare should throw a special mark on those bottles. It's free marketing!

I enjoy your reviews. I'm wondering if you'd do a review of a Whisky called Defiant, by the Blue Ridge Distilling Co. Golden Valley, NC. It's a single malt, 100% Barley malt. I find I like it quite a bit, but am still trying to "understand" its flavors and complexity. It's of course, very different from Bourbon. More Speyside or Highland I think, but I'd value your review.
