Maker's Mark is the whisky highlight in my holiday parties. Guests ask and make sure their favorite drink is there for them. While I'm here, I want to thank for you for me and my husband's yearly Christmas surprise gifts!! Maker's Mark is thoughtful remembering us, their ambassadors.

One sip, and I knew that this would be my favorite drink, ever! I especially enjoy Maker's Mark over ice and a splash of seltzer, but it also makes a wonderful Manhattan too! Oh it is also wonderful in Pecan pie or pumpkin pie too! Sometimes I cheap out and buy a cheaper product, but I always regret it! Spoil yourself and drink the best bourbon on the shelf-Maker's Mark, life is short!

For those who don't drink a straight up tumbler with ice I mix with this for guests. It would be most appreciated if you would notify your ambassadors of an impending shipment to our local liquor agents so we need not make unnecessary trips. I for one do not want to miss fae01

This whiskey is a family ordeal in our home. My father introduced me to it and so on. I once gave my friend a pour into his glass before he could get his bottle of jack opened. We then watched a whole fifth of jack swirl down the sink, amd he has never touched another whisky since.

We usually drink this product via old fashions or Manhattans with only high quality fresh components. Meaning the freshest cherries, muddled sugar, fresh orange, clean water and/or top shelf vermouth and bitters. As well, the ice must be clear and clean. The bourbon really makes the drink though!!

For those who have been down the Bourbon Trail we know that this is not a Top Tier bourbon BUT it is a Good bourbon. Maker's Mark is a good every day drinker and does mix well. Doesn't give the Kentucky Hug as much as others so it is smooth. I do enjoy a Maker's Old Fashioned and always have a bottle on hand.

I typically buy a cheaper bourbon for my cocktails, but when I want to spring for something a little extra fancy I typically go with either this or Bulleit. I mix my bourbon with a caffeine free diet Pepsi (less sugar the better being that alcohol is already sweet). Bulleit reminds me of a more smooth Jim Beam. It has that slight smoky taste. I'm sometimes sensitive to that smokiness. I'm not a huge fan of overly smoked meats or the liquid smoke people use in BBQ'ing. That also goes for my liquors. This Makers Mark is a top shelf bourbon that seems to have even less of that taste which I often times prefer. It goes down easy and also makes for a great bourbon 7. Not to mention that Makers Mark has one of the most unique and intriguing bottles in the bourbon industry. It's definitely an eye catcher.

The price is good for a very good whiskey. Makers Mark ranks up with other premium whiskeys.

Very good bourbon for the price.

Great value - especially with you use this in cooking!
