Whisky Distillery Tour: Marker's Mark

[@Zephon9]

You'd think in 4 years they would have fixed this video's title by now... Marker's Mark lol.

[@skraegorn7317]

If you’re ever in Kentucky, the Maker’s Mark distillery is a must-visit. It’s a gorgeous facility, the tour is very informative, and they have a lot of gorgeous art around the campus. At the end of the tour you’re allowed to dip your own bottle in wax.

[@DinduMuffins]

I really like the distillery guy. I love watching this while drinking Maker's Mark

[@GoldenClays1]

Boy, what a super great video. Full of information about my favorite brand! I am an Ambassador, and I am very proud of my Makers Mark. Thanks so much for the insight into quality, arrival, taste and aging. It's such a pleasure to learn about how a good bourbon is made!

[@Whiskycom]

Glad you enjoyed it! :)

[@drewnapoleons4569]

Makers was the first bourbon I ever had!!! and it got me into bourbons I just really got into the finger and backwash notes that it brought to the table and have not been able to switch to anything other than bourbons since!!!!

[@clarke4071]

its great watching ben.. hes learning lots. public speaking becoming a whisky expert and becoming a solid man. horst just lets him go. you can see he struggles a bit but im a novice so i feel like im going through it with him

[@jarbasmagalhaesresende6354]

Fantastic video! Many details about the whisky producion at Maker's Mark. Cheers!

[@robocop1441]

makers is a solid bourbon, thanks for the tour!

[@MichaelSimmons.]

I can't wait to take a tour of the Maker's Mark Distillery, so I can stick my hand in the vat.

[@trebor66n2]

I hauled a load out of here to Chicago. Still one of my best memories of trucking

[@BLAM777]

Keep your fingers out dude.

[@jrobert189]

I'm going to give this video the honorary title "Benedikt Puts his Finger in my Drink." Great video. Really enjoying all the tours.

[@southdubify]

Alcohol kills bacteria. Thats how the distillers and sommeliers try it in all the distilleries since whisky began

[@RAD6150]

It's four years later... the finger bourbon is still 3 years away...

Maker's Mark "Fingered Edition"

[@yujiahuo8431]

damn the quality control here

[@blackwolfoutdoorsbyabelgar5842]

Yea bro he put his finger in everything. I was thinking who ealse noticed it .

[@ljp1942]

Love makers mark have also had the 46 loved it but really really wish they would make makers mark cask strength available in Australia.

[@曹務銓]

I am a new learner to learn how to taste whisky. Truely enjoy the video which is very helpful.

[@tobynsaunders]

The secret ingredient of Maker's Mark? German tourists dipping their fingers in it!

[@MISTAJZA]

Maker’s Mark is like the In-n-Out of Bourbons, in a good way.

[@samby5]

Fantastic video. I really enjoy your distillery tour videos. Thank you.

[@timbagwell8279]

This is really a gem of a video, glad I found it!

[@dankmemerqjew1870]

why didnt they fix his polo sleeve before filming?

[@dionisiapsarraiou5211]

Thank you very much!! Your video was very helpful for my assignment on alcoholic beverages.

[@JasonAlexzander1q47]

So the barrels, one is uncharred but left in the elements of the weather for a year while the 47 barrel has been charred and left out for a few weeks? Am I understanding that correctly?

[@servicetradescom]

I'm certain the alcohol kills any bacterial but will you people not allow back wash back in with the white dog? 8:47

[@graintocask1615]

Good video! I'm not sure about the Hops in Kentucky Straight Bourbon though. I have never heard of this being used before.

[@Disasterpiece5150]

In my opinion Woodford reserve has the best bourbon but Makers Mark is in the most beautiful location of all!

[@Mapdotnowhere]

The milling process was a nice detail

[@graycloud057]

My brother and I toured this beautiful distillery once. They produce some very fine bourbon.

[@grndzro777]

I would love to taste Makers put through the week long cold filtration at Dickel.

[@matthewgabbard6415]

Makers is already a light bodied, fresh Bourbon. We surely don' wan't it mellowed out into that Tennessee swill ;)

[@gman5986]

Absolutely enjoyed this video. Thank you for your efforts!!

[@JasonAlexzander1q47]

Are they filtering it before or after the barrel?

[@EEZYEEEE]

Marky Mark and the funky bunch has a distillery?

[@VazzVegas]

Ben is like a kid in Willy Wonka's chocolate factory, dipping his fingers with his rolled up sleeve in everything and pouring it back, lol.

[@thomasriner5837]

This mans finger/backwash particles aged for like 5 to 7 years in a charred oak barrel, only to be consumed by some random dude like me. Awesome

[@visheshb7695]

Son like father...

[@RommieKamzols]

29:17 I love that moment when the guy starts to think about the fact that alcohol level has actually gone up from 55% to 56%-57% during maturation, according to the master distiller :D

[@love_craft6524]

I guess him sticking his fingers in everything was Markers mark.

[@MeherdilIrani]

Did this dude just lick his fingers, dip it in the alcohol, and pour it back?

[@rustynugget2288]

if you look carefully i think he pours it into a sink. the alcohol flow looks quite far back on the right. if i had to guess there's a sink close to the glass

[@MeherdilIrani]

Hey Rusty, nah man! I REALLY want to be SO wrong about what I think I am seeing. After reading your comment, I watched this clip over and over (7:18 to 9:14) after reading your comment - I even projected it @ 1080p on my large screen to really get a good look. It doesn't look like a sink or a bucket is behind that glass, it's going back in the vessel under that white dog flow. Now I really want to know which distilleries this dude has visited - I'm not sure I can do Makers Mark again with this image seared into my brain :) Can't help but wonder if he has fingered the whiskey at all distilleries he's visited? :D **joking .. not joking :(**

[@dinosaurhunter4160]

100% with you. He def fingered that bourbon, in all its forms. I came to the comments hoping I wasn't the only one questioning the quality control. However, the mash stage turns to the pure distilled liquid....that can clean wounds. His fingering germs will be destroyed.....as they should be. I haven't seen him finger anything from the barrel to bottle stage.....yet

[@lawdogkyle1850]

He definitely did and some health dept guy probably blew a gasket, but let’s be honest, it’s being distilled, it’s alcohol, the alcohol will kill any germs, it’s really fine.

[@RommieKamzols]

genius

[@ryanh3951]

Proud of your boy

[@paulcaswell2813]

Looks so cold and clinical after dear old Scotland...

[@supermanlol67]

really love your channel !

[@IvanIvanov-nj7se]

At some parts its like the master distiller is helping(guiding) him to what he shoud taste , rather to what he actually taste.

[@Ebril]

Great video!

[@renecioorange8137]

I love Makers Mark

[@E1337Jerk]

He not only dubble dip he also pored it back

[@michaelargenta3856]

Makers mark security was passed out that day..

[@cmdrflint9115]

I love Maker's, but its the only Bourbon that'll give me a guaranteed hangover everytime, no idea why, especially since other much stronger Bourbons (like Knob creek) don't have the same effect. Doesn't matter a damn though, I'll still keep drinking it!

[@BanjoSick]

These american guys are much better showmen then the scots on theese tours. Still enjoy the scottish master destillers more. That craggy authenticy is just cool.

[@keithrose4227]

What the hell is Markers mark?

[@oceandrew]

It's a pirated bourbon with an extra touch of "arrrr" in it.

[@rugbyjc240]

I don't actually like Makers Mark at all, but their advertising is amazing. Maybe it's the wheat that replaces the rye that I don't like?

[@gman5986]

Try the Maker Select...........Awesome

[@ChriS-tz9jm]

Where was his finger before this video? I will never go into a liquor store with same thoughts again only thinking which liquor has been fingered up

[@pip12111]

Makers mark not marker mark

[@pandaland1]

He sounds Austrian or German... So of course his English isn't on point.

Markers mark? Huge typo on the title. For sure fix it.

[@thewhodat2314]

So someone is actually getting a bottle of liquor that he put his fingers in...but that's one hell of a bottle of whisky!!! AMERICA

[@playmovingpictures]

It's a great drop bourbon 🥃

[@Slowloris666]

Sleeve down, mate :-)

[@JeremyDore]

Too bad they don't release their "over aged" bourbon. I'm sure they would actually get some whiskey connoisseur to buy their products. Most hardcore whiskey fans don't care for the regular Maker's flat "lightness" and "sweetness". Regular Maker's is just boring for someone who has spent some time tasting bourbon and whiskey in general.

[@forestsandman]

What recommendations do you have then for a good bourbon?

[@JeremyDore]

+forestsandman Elijah Craig 12 yr, Turkey 101, Evan Williams Single Barrel, Buffalo Trace, Knob Creek small batch and SB, Woodford Reserve, anything Four Roses is a good start.

[@ianbrown7235]

have you tried makers mark cask strength?

I wonder how global warming will affect the whiskey since there’s no climate control in the warehouses might make it harder to get that profile they are trying to maintain

[@lisagy4354]

Makers Mark and Jim Beam sold out to Japan .......bummer .....what happened to tradition .....buy Evan Williams, good bourbon at a good price , they're not too proud of themselves.....USA owned

[@FMichael1970]

Yeah - I must agree...Sad that what were once American owned companies are now becoming a 'global economy' via international corp buying them out.

[@graycloud057]

Lisa Gy so true. The old Heaven Hill Distillery ( Bernheim ) maker of the wonderful Elijah Craig, and Evan Williams makes super fine delicious bourbon and 100% pure USA Kentucky Bourbon.

[@lawdogkyle1850]

Lots of good whiskies are owned by large conglomerates. Half the most Scotch Whisky distilleries are either owned by Diageo (England) or Pernod Ricard (France), the same can be said about certain Irish whiskey distillers. None of these companies are changing the recipes, they simply own the name and make a profit. Suntory is no different with Beam.

[@tacticalsweater5119]

Who cares? It's still good bourbon.

[@brianpage6932]

@@lawdogkyle1850 Exactly, very true

[@linyongnien]

Sorry, I always love the tour, but Benedict needs to widen his tasting vocabulary. Often times you can tell that he has no idea what to say or what going on when he takes a whiff or sips a dram. Oh yeah, the sleeve really bothered me but not as much as to how he FINGERED everything and put it back!

[@5ChG]

did you even wash your hand before you put your fingernail germs in my drink? that is disgusting. really bad marketing for Makers Mark. Huge mistake.

[@mrboonski1]
