Can you guys do a video on the entire old elk lineup?

[@zacherycampbell7296]

I second this

[@damonharrison18]

Yesssss!

[@brianwallace789]

Definitely need this

[@TheeRustyCage]

Great suggestion

[@Mr.KobeZoom]

Old elk over priced.. $80 bottles around me I choose a lot over it

[@AdamN-uq9fy]

Just found out I’m gonna be a dad for the first time. I enjoyed it with a great bottle of MM 46CS.

[@dougsanders4550]

I walked into liquor barn today in central Kentucky and they had 3 on the 1 per counter. I almost fainted. Proud owner.

[@Thisshitcrazybruh]

Everything MM touches is gold. I absolutely love their products.

[@993C2S]

The aroma is just out of this world. I too could live in! Great video. Hope they make a 2024 version.

[@Relayer56]

Most expensive bottle I’ve bought is Rare Breed. Love it! Would never be able to spend $150, not doubting it is worth it, though.

[@tabray9567]

Trenton, you are the MAN when it comes to finding highly rated, hard to find whiskey. Cheers

[@vladtepes9614]

I LOVE the regular Maker's Mark line. It packs so much flavor for the money. I'll definitely try this bottle if I ever come across it.

[@djd2819]

You guys have the best side hustle in the world - tasting these gorgeous bourbons. Love the review!

[@robertbooth3367]

11 / 12 year old = about $120 by today's 'standard' so $150 isn't outrageous. Of course, getting one at msrp will be almost impossible unless you have a KZbin channel or know someone. Maker's Mark always marketed itself as a 'premium' bourbon so nice to see that they're making a solid effort to regain that image. 👏 Trenton needs to start a candy review channel. Sounds like he is a candy sommelier of the highest order!

[@TheUMIA]

ECBP enters the chat.

[@jhartmac100]

isn't that the joke.............the price and availability .........pure joke......

[@aaronmulcahy2004]

Thank you for the reviww. I would love to taste it but I'm afraid it will sell for $50 a pour in my area. I will go for the bottle of Old Forester instead.

[@davidrenner6112]

Great video. I'll keep my eyes out for this one. Loved Luden's as a kid. I think saying they were medicinal was giving them too much credit. They were basically candy to help sooth your throat. Halls is a different beast, though. Beautiful bottle. Glad the flavor backs up the presentation and cost. Good job, gentlemen. Loved the live stream. Happy to see Maker's Mark is really doing some great things.

[@lordofshapes1387]

Props to Trenton on the Luden's cough drop reference. I really hope I can get this in my area soon. Cheers!

[@jaysont.8553]

Keep on hearing great response to this release, was able to pick up two bottles myself for below MSRP- $124!!!!

[@RockulaRandy]

I will NEVER find this for $150, thus will probably never get to taste this. It sounds incredible. MAN do I wish I had a Harry.

[@kevingalloway1684]

Would love to see a blind with Makers Cellar, and other older bourbons such as JD 10 and 12, Eagle Rare, Henry McKenna 10, Russell’s Reserve 10, and Michter 10.

[@robertschroeder1978]

Thanks for the video and for the information. With a $150 price tag and a very limited allocation I believe this would be for a special occasion pour. Certainly worthy of a special shelf placement if able to be purchased. Thanks again....

[@tonyn152]

Great video. Been a Makers fan for 30 years (was my gateway bourbon) and love most everything they do. I'm sure I'll never get the opportunity to try this, so thanks for describing and reviewing it. You are very luck for the opportunity to have this. Cheers!

[@frankquaresma8905]

Was able to score a bottle, my local grocery store wine and spirits buyer shocked me when he said that he got a bottle. Looking forward to trying a pour soon!!!

[@honker1307]

Thanks for the review, glad to see more new stuff coming out of MM. Not a fan of the 150 price mark, but would still like to try it.

[@randocitizen6114]

I’ll never get a hold of This bottle so I’m so happy to watch y’all try it and hear the impressions of it.

[@MusicNerdMIDI]

Maker's Mark was my introduction to bourbon. I'm hoping this is somewhat available in California, I've never really had any difficulty finding some of the higher end Maker's Mark products in my area. I still see some BEP and FAE releases lingering around.

[@umami0247]

Great that you got to get one. I will never see one same with the wood series never saw a bottle. But I have a 101 unopened and I can get a cask bottle regularly for now which will be fine! Enjoy!!

[@TheSlowoldman]

Makers is a great sipping whiskey, and I've always wanted a bit more proof, so I'll be on the hunt for this one.

[@tranmd80]

Would you guys do a bourbon hunting at your local spots? Cus you sure get your hands on these hitters so quick and easily.

[@user-ew7mb3hy8v]

I'm excited that Maker's Mark is finally doing an aged stated release, I do wish they would have followed Jack Daniels lead and made it more affordable for more people. Jack was able to do a 12yr at $80 which seems much more reasonable. And no way I;m paying $35+ for a 1-1.5 oz pour. lol, that's the better part of many a good bottle.

[@retrocny5625]

Always been a Maker's fan boy, I haven't been this excited about getting a bottle in a long, long time.

[@J53119]

Same, although I can just see for the first time a lineup at Makers Mark of a bunch of flippers looking to profit off of the hype.

[@edwardwilcox6606]

I`m hoping the powers that be at Makers will look favourably on it`s UK customers & send us over this wonderful bottle. I`m at the head of the queue! Nice review guys, thanks.

[@yourdrinkingbuddy]

Yes!!!! 🍒! Great review! Thanks for the shoutout.

[@brianlongman9559]

I love the idea of doing a blind with this, 1920, and maybe another.

[@paulhendershot111]

I doubt that I will get the chance to buy one of these, but I am going to check at my favorite bourbon bars to see if one of them has a bottle. Would love to try a pour.

[@mneeley490]

Nice video. guys! MM was the first bourbon I liked, many years ago, and have been trying many of their new releases. Would love to get my hands on this one, but a quick check on secondary shows prices at $400 to $700. So....probably not in the cards for me.

[@currahee63]

Great show guys. I'll be honest, I've never gravitated toward MM for some reason. I only have the Cask Strength on my bar and I wasn't a big fan. I find the finish somewhat harsh. But with MM doing so well on recent episodes, I'm going to have to revisit their offerings. However, I don't expect I'll find this particular bottle in the wild anytime soon. Cheers.

[@billslone242]

The masters keep voyage was fantastic

[@obibaddad1991]

I keep returning to my Maker's Single Barrel. I normally drink single malts but it seems like whenever I think bourbon lately I always drink the Maker's. I have a pretty good selection of bourbon. I will have to look for this.

[@robertkerr4201]

I just got three bottles for my restaurant bar in Santa Monica, California. Stop by Fritto Misto if you’d like to try this fantastic whiskey.

[@karl0318]

Thank you for the confirmation that this release is worth hunting for and that the price sounds about right! Trenton: Tip - Use a drop of Goo-Gone next time instead of WD40. 😉

[@IXIFrostIXI]

I need this, wondering when i can start hunting

[@jasonpowell5619]

I was able to get this bottle in Kentucky. I was told that the state of Kentucky only got 20 bottles, so by you saying your state got 38 or 40 that confirms what I was told . Even though you would think that Kentucky would have more who knows.

[@markaingham]

I believe at Makers, it was ~$30 for a half pour in Sept.

[@danielupchurch6024]

This is supposed to be an annual release. And according to Fred Minck, this happened bc he has relentless asked MM to come out with a 12yr old cask strength product, after trying a bottle brought to an event that was a 12yr cask strength makers.

[@trevorkenny]

I need to get some Maker's on my Bourbon wall.

[@domingocorona7028]

Tried this for a $25 two ounce pour. Loved the nose, wasn’t amazed by the palette… at first. I walked away and can’t stop thinking about it. The finish is amazing and I would to find a bottle.

[@josephdanko7451]

Where is this already on a menu?

[@domingocorona7028]

@@josephdanko7451 I had it at box yard in Tucson, but not sure it was more than one bottle. And another place in Tucson called may have a bottle for pours.

[@jasoncronin9145]

​@@domingocorona7028anywhere else local (preferably not downtown) to try these more expensive rare bottles? Been trying to find a good place.

[@scottdemaree5852]

Terrific review from the old guy. Nailed it. Thank you for the Video. For me i had the same exact reaction. This is a phenomenal Maker's. A truly special pour. For me, the cherry came at the finish. Caramel and vanilla creaminess through the first 3/4 palate. Then it finishes with a medium sweet slightly spicy cherry finish that has a glorious chest feel. Cheers. Just took my last sip of the pour and a caramel waffle cookie jumped out at me. Cheers.

[@FakingANerve]

Where and how did you come across it already, out of curiosity?

[@scottdemaree5852]

Somewher liquor store Montana. @@FakingANerve

[@DaveNorton-yi5ix]

Makers has been my jam this year ... hope I can get my hands on this one.

[@WhiskeyBusinessFL]

This is fast becoming THE bottle I'm hunting for. Hope to get my hands on one! Thanks for the review!

[@dougsowell]

I'm in NV and have heard it is going to be extremely limited. I'd love to pick one up but I think these are going to sit in museums around town for big $$$ or be in drawings.

[@JokerMansBeats]

If this one of your guy's top 5. Then we need to see that video too!

[@marshall5021]

$150 is a lot but if your getting those notes on the nosing and tasting it's worth it. Could you do another cocktail video? Haven't seen one In a while

[@ps138vs2cavi]

Yeah. A Manhattan video with different vermouths or with different Bourbons would be cool. Blind for sure

[@0529mpb]

You have almost no chance at less than $250.

[@jmartinez4460]

I found this bottle 🎉, when I first opened it I was disappointed. I went back to it a week later OH man this is definitely the best Makers Mark I own. It’s fantastic I could kill the whole bottle fast lol.

[@OldFashionedWays]

great review. I am on the hunt for this. keep hearing great things. cheers. 🥃

[@MichaelBortner-qk4zl]

I enjoyed the review, and the honest opinion. I just hope I am fortunate enough to find a bottle or two always look out for friends that won’t come across it.

[@borgcutus5780]

I'd love to see a lineup of less expensive 115pf-ish bourbons against this as you mentioned. That would be a good video. Thank you guys!

[@TheSpiritoftheCocktail]

KURT!!! TRENTON!!! This was a great video!! I love Makers Mark, so this is right up my alley!!! I'll have to keep an eye 👀 out for this!!! CHEERS family!!!

[@IXIFrostIXI]

put it this way, if it was any lower, it would just be second marketed at 3x then too

[@jeffreyspencer4005]

Great descriptions! Hope to find this soon... p.s. Guess the room mike went dead toward the end...? 😄

[@leeknowlton7303]

Awesome. I'll buy up every bottle I see now, and I don't even like MM. Thanks SLB!

[@Mike1614b]

the color is impressive- like Jack Daniels looks in their commercial 😋

[@TheBourbonExperience]

We tried what OHLQ distributed a few weeks ago, MM Private selection. They had 5 different ones. We had 3. I'm assuming it is similar to their wood finishing series. But we were wow'd by how good they were. Not sure if you guys have had those and how they compare to this?

[@apeekintime]

That bottle is so good the channel hit puberty at 12:40 and it's voice dropped

[@CarolinaGent06]

Those Cherry Luden’s are undefeated lol

[@rodneyhicks5527]

Great review. I’m in the Maker’s Mark “Whiskey Drop” program and this one is in the next shipment.

[@tweezerjam]

Like dollar shave club but for mm? 😮

[@Robert.Sheard]

The article about it in the Lexington newspaper said it's a 30,000 bottle release.

[@ToastbackWhale]

Haven't had this yet and I just started the video, but it'd have to be DAMN good to be better than MM 46 Cask Strength.

[@joemajor2553]

This one is high on my list. It’s about 400 right now on secondary but hasn’t hit all markets so that can certainly change.

[@jspack71]

I would love to get this bottle, been liking Makers a lot lately, thanks for the review!!

[@timbuma3693]

Just got notified my name was picked for the makers cellar aged at my local store for msrp.

[@MF-ng9um]

Would you pick Makers Cellar Aged or Jack 12? Also I would love to see a review of the Spot Irish whiskeys.

[@abew1196]

just found out what SLB stands for. Its pretty wild to me because my mother who passed away last year, that was her motto. Any time things got tough that was her go to phrase. I actually had some custom ray bans made after she passed that has that saying on them on the inside. Just thought id share.

[@chrisw4192]

Y’all see the rarebreed rye? Almost picked it up today but I’m waiting on a review or 2 and the price isn’t bad at all under 40 bucks

[@Boone1981]

When it silenced and froze them both after the tasting, I was thinking dammit!! I was just 5 minutes away from the distillery yesterday, but I didn't have the time to stop (on the way to a family reunion).

[@MikeFigge]

I think Maker's stated this release was comprised of ~225 barrels. Depending on the yield probably 30,000 or so bottles total I'd guess. Cheers guys!

[@danielwatterson3926]

20,000 to the u.s. 10,000 international

[@MikeFigge]

@@danielwatterson3926 Thanks for adding that clarification. Cheers!

If you live in a state that is apart of the direct shipping program Makers celler age is apart of this seasons shipment it goes out in late September to early October so there is time sign up if you want one.

Asked my local retailer - he stated very allocated for this bottle, and he get's his hands on a lot of allocated bottles.

I've been waiting for this video!!! ECBP 923 is supposed to possibly be a late year rival at 13yrs.

Was that bottle a media sample from makers? I’m asking since I’m seeing lots of reviews from KZbinrs but no signs of it’s widespread release yet

THE BEST GODDAMN WHISKEY CHANNEL ON KZbin 🎉and I'm screaming that sh$t. TY gentlemen. I love MM❤

[@jessemanning8204]

really enjoy MM products in general and most private selects, but was really let down by the cellar aged. Thought it was hot, thin, not a lot of depth or flavor in general, and very drying. Reminds me of some of the wheat whiskeys i've tasted. Had this head to head with a pour of stagg 22b and stagg just absolutely destroyed it in every way just way more depth and the flavors were way more nuanced and layered. I think they need to go back to the drawing board on this one for my pallet.

[@primalsearwithrubsandsuds]

Curious. Old Forester B-Day Bourbon is roughly the same price. Out of the two which one would you two prefer.

[@graveshotx]

This is a 20,000 bottle release in America and Indiana only got 40?! Where the hell the rest of them going?
