I have a small, private, self funded, English style pub near my real estate office in rural, eastern Virginia where my friends meet. I serve draft beer, stock 90 to 100 spirits (mainly bourbons and Scotches). Makers Mark and Laphroaig the most popular beverages I serve.

Makes a Great Old Fashion using the recipe my father-in-law gave to me years ago. The only item I changed was substituting simple syrup in lieu of dissolving sugar in the bottom of the glass. 2 shots Makers, 3or4 dashes of bitters,an orange slice, and a cherry, lots of ice made in a snifter glass or a double old fashion glass- I will "cut" it with a little water(to my taste).I don't mollify the orange or cherry!

This is undisputably the best whiskey out there. I was introduced to it a few years ago and have never gone back. The taste is not for everyone, but it is good for me, and when taken on the rocks, it definitely hits different! I love how much the 1.75l bottle gives you because you can have it for a while if you drink it alone, or enjoy it with a group of friends ...

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

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.

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 only drank beer until someone offered me a drink of Makers Mark. Have not drank anything since. That was 35 years ago. It's part of me now!!! Love the taste. Thank You. I also have a barrel and dipped my own bottle. Still use that bottle and buy the bigger one and refill it because It also has my name on it. Keep up the good work!!!!

I love it straight up but my friends and family like when I put it in the blinder with slushy coke and ice and make them a nice strong maker's market slushy especially on them hot sunny days it's cool refreshing drink and I love that it is so smooth when u want it straight up or a slushy

I really enjoyed this whisky. It was really smooth, with a subtle smoke/oak and vanilla flavour. Did not feel strong and was really easy to drink slowly on the rocks. I did try it with coke and follows some of the ideas of recipes from the company. Using this to make a whisky sour was great, otherwise recommend having it neat. Lovely bourbon.

Makers Mark is delicious! I’m not a whiskey girl at all but decided to try something new for the holidays and this bourbon whiskey is so easy to drink! It does not have a harsh after taste like other whiskeys. It is easy to have as a shot and taste great as a cocktail! I made a cocktail with ginger ale Makers mark and some fresh orange juice. It was tasty and easy to drink!
