The other thing Maker's does really well? Their client experience is exceptional. After we had our tour, they invited us to spend the rest of the day at the distillery. They have kind of a museum, some art work, fantastic grounds, and a restaurant. They're the best at promoting the brand

The "I'm not going to drink my parent's generation's spirit" phenomenon was one of the factors that led to the reduction of production of Japanese whiskey which then led to lack of supply when it became popular outside of Japan due to (among other things) a favorable review of Suntory’s Yamazaki Single Malt Sherry Cask 2013 which was designated the "best in the world" from the Whisky Bible, raising the global profile and demand of the Japanese whisky.

Still my favorite whiskeys as of right now. I remember I tried to go back to Jack Daniels after I finished the bottle of Maker's, and it tasted like spicy water, in the most literal sense. No flavor, just a warm throat. Maker's goes so well with Coke, it's crazy! There's something about the mixture that makes it taste rich, creamy, dense, smooth with some bits of tingling to my tongue and lips. But, an overall amazing experience, from someone who prefers Berliner Weisse beers (favorite is 1809). I remember accidentally getting the mint julip version (I'm very colorblind) and didn't notice until I drank it. I was taken aback, and threw up because I wasn't prepared for the taste. Still finished that bottle.

Quick story why I drink Makers and recommend it to everyone. Back in 2010 I picked up my first car (98 Grand Cherokee) with my dad from Florida and drove it back to my college in Ohio. We stopped by the distillery but unfortunately it was too late for a tour. As we are walking around the parking lot, an employee told us we can walk around and ask other employees what everything was and the whisky making process. As we were about to head out, the first employee asked if we wanted to try their different types of whisky. Anyway, we had a nice conversation and my dad got wasted while I had to stay sober and drive throughout the night to Columbus. The employees at Makers Mark were incredible people and really made us feel like family.

Maker's Mark has an excellent product. Wether it is the regular, Cask Strength, 46 or 46 cask strength, they are all consistent and made the right way. Take a tour there. They do things the same way every day. The label makers are machines from the 50's... they print their lables, cut them put them on.... they still hand dip the wax off the bottling line... they move the bottles from spot to spot over the years.... and they have a natural cellar in the hillside.... all while being on a fantiastic property that is a working farm. I will always be a big fan.

I just bought a bottle of Maker's Mark and paid a decent sum for it, since whiskey is kind of an exotic drink here. Only other "better" bourbon I had is Woodford's Reserve and I love that one. I am new to whiskey in general, but the instant I smelled Maker's something seemed off to me. It has a mouldy note to it on the nose, and you can pick it up on the taste even more. Once compared to a sip of Woodford's, it became even more noticable. I would describe the taste like those alcohol cherry chocolates, if the cherry inside was mouldy. Is that a normal Maker's taste?

Busted for bringing in alcohol, I had to watch as he methodically opened every bottle and poured each down the drain. Irony of ironies: This was Purdue University.
