Got a bottle of Eagle Rare and two bottles of Stagg Jr. Very fine they are. We’ve had some Maker’s around to quite a while, it’s fallen out of favor it seems.
Makers used to be reasonably priced, then the vaginistas in marketing decided:
1. Let’s raise the price.
2. Let’s cut the alcohol content.
The market had a cow about 2. They boosted the price anyway and it has stayed high.
Plain Jim Beam is excellent. It can take the Pepsi challenge with almost anything.
Evan Williams is good too, and very inexpensive. Whiskey and cigars are alike. You can pay through the nose and not get what you paid for in an increase in quality.
