After years of waiting for my ambassador barrel to mature, booking a flight and hotel, I was notified they would be closed less than 24 hours before my tour (scheduled for 2/19/21). Despite calling and leaving voicemails to inquire about other options to visit and buy a bottle from my barrel, no one ever got back to me. Other distilleries were quite welcoming and accommodating, making me a new and loyal customer of theirs since I can no longer support anything Makers Mark related after such an awful experience.

Maker's Mark is what I serve to ALL my friends and guest. It is the best tasting, smoothest bourbon I have ever tasted in my 75 years. Please never change it. Everyone I serve it to always ask what it is, I tell them and that is when they switch to Maker's Mark.

Really enjoyed my bottle of makers. What made it more special is that it came from my barrel and even had my name engraved on it. Beautiful place to visit and was so much fun to dip our own bottles. Really enjoyed their many variations of old fashions.

This is my favorite sipping bourbon. It's very smooth compared to other brands and is a very warm tasting drink with slight vanilla and caramel notes. I also love the wax dip at the top of the bottle. This bottle is a little pricy but you definitely get what you pay for.

Makers Mark is one of my absolute favorite bourbons out there. It has an amazing history and you can truly taste it in their bourbon. The signature red wax is one of the coolest parts and you can always identify their brand. I highly recommend this bourbon especially to new bourbon drinkers but anyone can find a batch they will enjoy here.

This is my go-to spirit for enjoying an old fashioned at home (or a Manhattan on occasion). It delivers a classic and smooth taste at a reasonable price. Have been a big fan of Maker's Mark ever since I experienced dipping my own bottle at the distillery in Loretta, KY years ago!

I drink Maker's Mark products and have not found one yet I didn't like. I also have a large collection of Maker's Mark bottles. My only complaint is last year a very, very limited number of collector bottles in three (3) different design labels were released the same day. It was almost impossible to buy more than one (1). I went to four stores in Lexington and all were out within 45 - 50 minutes from opening the doors. I have been very disappointed in your decision to market these bottles in such a thoughtless manner. It is a disgusting blow to Ambassadors and collectors!

I should mention, right off the bat, that I'm not much of a drinker. In fact, I'm reviewing this whiskey because it's the “secret” ingredient in my homemade vanilla bourbon ice cream. Maker's Mark is perfect in that ice cream recipe because the whiskey itself is full-bodied, flavorful, and smooth. It mellows beautifully in an ice cream because it gives the batch a distinctive bourbon flavor without making the final product taste “booze-y.” Unlike other whiskeys I've used in the past, the Maker's Mark also plays nicely in the freezer, and doesn't cause unpleasant ice crystals to form, leaving the finished ice cream smooth and delicious.

I'm glad that Maker's is not one of the brands that you can't get hold of. All these other brands have priced themselves out of the common sense market. To me, Maker's tastes as good as any Bourbon on the market. I always enjoy Maker's during the holidays.

This is my go-to drink when I need to relax after a hectic day. I used to have MM/Diet Coke but I had to give up Coke so now I have MM and Ginger Ale and I think I like it EVEN better - if that's possible. My ONLY gripe is the red wax seal. I have arthritis in my hands and many times I have to ask for help to open it initially - Heck, one time I didn't want to wait so I used my teeth - probably NOT a good idea !!
