Well, I'm with the fellow in the article.

I switched to Makers Mark years ago. No comparison in the quality of the whisky, MM is still a good old-fashioned bourbon.

Jack has gone downmarket, and I'm not following him there. As one of Kipling's characters said about another fellow in a short story, "No more he isn't [a drinking man] but what he takes he likes good. He won't tech no publican's hogwash acrost the bar. Four shillin's he paid for that bottle o' whisky."

Nice Kipling reference, AAM.

I absolutely love Maker's Mark and have for years.
I only wish I could find the GOLD 101!

I bought a bottle maybe 10-12 years ago and still have that empty bottle in the back of my liquor cabinet...
Just waiting for a refill.

Regards,
A Maker's Mark Ambassador

Let's hear it for Wild Turkey 101 or possibly Old Grand Dad special blend 114 proof (I think that was a special promo, but man was it smooooooth).

I have to duck this one otherwise as I'm the guy with a nephew who is an executive for Bacardi. Love Christmas presents!
