I love Maker’s Mark. I’m one of their Ambassadors and I have a barrel that I share with some 8 other people. I think Maker’s is the best affordable bourbon on the market. That is, I don’t think it’s the best bourbon in the world, but it’s the best I can afford to buy regularly. Personally, my all time favorite bourbon is a Pappy Van Winkle Family Reserve aged 19 years that I’ve been fortunate to have 2 separate occasions. The last time I had the Pappy Van Winkle, I found out my girlfriend had cheated on me. Yet, when I’m asked about that evening, I view it as a great time because of the wonderful meal and exceptional bourbon I had that night. Now that’s good bourbon – one that makes infidelity a distant afterthought.

I believe your review accurately depicts the Makers brand. I lean toward wheated bourbon’s but do have a fairly sizable combination of both wheat, rye bourbon and rye whiskey’s. For new bourbon drinkers, I recommend Makers. I do this to get them started with a bourbon that is not complex, it’s easy on the palate, and minimal burn which is the turn off point for many new drinkers. Makers is good neat or as a mixer. Makers is one of those stable and predictable bourbons that I keep in my closet for those times I need such a drink. Typically though, my tastes gravitate toward more complex bourbons.
