RE: Bourbon Whiskey Review: Maker's Mark Bourbon Whisky.
Maker's is my cheaper-than-most go-to Whiskey. I get the big bottle. I was really happy with it for quite some time until I attended a couple whiskey tastings with some serious drinkers who know distillers like others know sports figures.
Now I realize Maker's is pretty crappy. But when it comes to value for price, I haven't found anything better. :) So... I enjoy it and try to forget other top-shelf whiskeys I've tried.
Right. It's definitely not the top of the line, but not the bottom, either. You know what is funny is that bourbons tend to make me feel pretty shitty, where I can sit and drink Scotch Islay region whiskies all night and feel happy and warm. I wonder if it is the corn. My mood and physiology don't like bourbons. Taste of Maker's is good though, in my opinion, for a bourbon and for the price. Have you had Basil Hayden's?
I'm not very fond of Makers but they do have a pretty cool tour. I like hotter bourbon.
