I agree on the KC. Any idea how it compares to this one? I haven't cracked it yet.

They all taste the same to me.
Only one different was the first year where some of the bottles were much older. Think I still have a 1/4 bottle that is close to 15 yr

This is the only KC I've tried that I really liked

For Wheated I know everyone loves their weller. But don't sleep On Makers 46 esp the barrel strength or french oaked. Private selection goes without saying.

Unpopular opinion - there are several Maker's offerings that I enjoy more than Weller, especially the Maker's private selections.

Agreed. People drink Weller to say they drink Weller.

People drink Makers to say they drink bourbon.

What does everyone think about Noah's Mill from the Willett distillery?

It's one of my favorite sippers. Buttery. Smooth. Accessible.

Too accessible.

Just kidding. I've never had it but pass on it all the time.

What's the price point again? Those are tasting notes I enjoy.

~60 for a 750.

Hmmm. Worth it?

I think the problem is that it's low on my wants and end up buying something else that I like with my bourbon funds.

I like both, A LOT!

Perfectly happy with plain green label Weller Reserve, but Makers is a suitable back-up.

Back a few years ago I thought standard Maker's Mark was high end stuff.

Then I fell in with a bad crowd….

Look at my username - Makers was Pappy for me before I knew what Pappy was...

I used to LOVE Noah's Mill. When it was $45-ish for a bottle, I would always have at least one on hand. Around 9-10 years ago, I swear they changed their mash bill or something about their distilling process. I still enjoyed the flavor, but 2 glasses and I would be hung over as **** the next day. Wouldn't feel tipsy or drunk, but hungover every time I had some. No idea why. I haven't bought a bottle in years because of it. It's not the proof because I routinely drink 120+ proof with no issues, but something about it just flat out didn't agree with me.

Makers only became interesting when they started releasing higher proof offerings. Their basic 80p is pure trash.

Its 90 proof and its delicious.

Drinks like weak 80p then.

And it's bottom barrel swill. Should be sold in plastic milk jugs.

From above, Noah's Mill is also hot garbage. Hangover juice.

I might be the outlier here, but I haven't liked a single Maker's Mark offering. I've tried so many of them and ultimately just end up giving the bottles away.

Speaking of Makers Mark, does this qualify as a "dunk"?

Makers is a good, consistent, cheap drinker. It isn't flashy, but has a very certain profile and is affordable. When I am out and a bar has better options priced too high, I might get a Makers. Certainly isn't swill.

Nah, Jameson and Ginger is still an all time classic for me

Same

Nope. You would know if it was a dunk because they dip it all the way to the vertical sides.

Some of yall need your heads dunked in the wax vat.

give it a go. You won't pour it out.

Shaggy05 knocked that one out of the park!
