It's not a step up from WT it's just entirely different WT is high rye where as makers is a wheated bourbon and has no rye at all in the mash bill.

Wheated Bourbons taste sweet which is why swill like pappy's is pppular

>>13865269
Shitty plastic lid crap.

>>13865277
This

At most, it's a step up from Evan Williams.

>>13865283
There's literally nothing wrong with a plastic cap.

>>13865287
There is, but it's more the fake wax dribbling crap there.

>>13865301
It's real wax

>>13865269
Same reason anything gets shit on here: It's popular. Of the few bourbons I've tried Maker's is one of the yummier ones and makes a bangin' Old Fashoned too.
Related, took delivery of these two beauts today, trying to decide which one to try first.

>>13865269
it's babby's first non-well-liquor
>Sure it's not as good as Woodford
Woodford isn't good either

>>13865314
It's impossible not to like Woodford, unless you just really hate sweet drinks I guess. You might not find it super exciting because of how neutral the flavour profile is, but it's still undeniably a good, easy to drink bourbon. Stop being an elitist faggot

>>13865311
But everybody here hypes Wild Turkey.

I'm totally finde with MM although it's alittle sweet. Best bourbon if you wanna introduce people (especially women), who never had whiskey in their live.

>>13865338
I get people lit at my summer bbq’s including the wives. Wild Turkey 101 & lemonade. None of the women claim to have ever tried or like bourbon, but they start asking for more once they try one. I usually start adding a little more each drink. Everyone’s flying after a couple.

>>13865269
Tastes like wood juice and has a gimmicky bottle, it's bottom shelf swill larping as a premium brand, there's much better shit for less money.

Assholes drink bourbon. You can all get fucked.

>>13865269
This board hypes up Jameson Caskmates and Woodford so take everything with a grain of salt, this reply included
Also WT101 > Maker's > Woodford

>>13865301
Why would you think it's fake and why would you care? The wax is real and it was the founder's wife's idea to make it stand out. Seems like it worked.

>>13866484
>Tastes like wood juice
You say that like it's a bad thing. Care to name a few? I can think of a few that are on par with it or maybe a bit better around the same price but not many

>>13866512
who hurt you? Was it daddy? Did he used to drink bourbon?

>>13866826
Because I've had a bottle of this and it was plastic.

>>13866826
>Care to name a few

>Bulleit
>Buffalo Trace
>Wild Turkey
>Elijah Craig
>Four Roses Small Batch
>Wellers

>>13865269
I like it in the summer but I find larceny to be better for the price for wheated

markers mark is actually respected in Whiskey circles as an incredible Whiskey for the price point.

>>13866826
Makers is not better than woodford ew

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r5bJ_5oGNr8

Makers mark is whatever but Makers 46 it's Satan's jizz levels of holy fucking glory

>>13865269
4 Roses Small Batch is the best inexpensive bourbon on the planet.

>>13868739
>30 bucks
>inexpensive
It's certainly the best in the 30-range, but it's no match for EW BiB, the king of the bottom shelf

>>13868764
It's $28 pre-tax where I live

>>13868767

above 30, you get swarmed with good options, but you're also paying above 30

MM or Larceny?

IDK but I'll never forgive some of you for shilling Old Grandad. That shit absolutely filtered me. I bought it expecting it to taste like the nectar of the gods and it was about as tasty as Jack Daniels. I still put it in my coffee every morning cause I gotta get through the bottle but damn.

>>13865269
Because Evan Williams is half the cost, and Turkey 101 is indeed better if you're going to shell out full price.

Is anyone else in Maker's Ambassador club? They send me free shit all the time and printed my name on a barrel label plate

>>13865269
>left a bottle of Maker's at my friends house before the coronavirus shutdown

>>13868866
Then get it back?

>>13865269
Maker's Mark got me into bourbon. The wax seal is a sweet aesthetic. Wild Turkey sucks.

>>13868885
literally
>babby's first bourbon

Is bullet good?

Rebel Yell for it's price point is pretty damn smooth and tasty.

>>13868892
Fuck off. Jack Daniels is, and no mistake.

>>13869266
I actually haven't had their bourbon. I highly recommend their Rye Whiskey though. Very good for the price point.

MM just doesnt hold up considering its pricepoint.
if it was half the price it would be much better regarded.
Get a bottle of Buffalo Trace, i consider it the best in its price-class.

>>13865283
What a fucking retard. It's wax, and it's to filter-out retards like you.

>>13869471
I'll look into it next time I go out. I don't drink a lot but it's nice having decent alcohol around.

>>13868803
What are some good options above $30, in your opinion? Currently enjoying makers 46 at that price point.

>>13869481
Not when they ship it overseas it seems.

>>13869545
Not that guy but here are a few. Also I would include Maker's 46 in the $25-30 range.

>$30-35
4 Roses Single Barrel
Henry McKenna Single Barrel BIB

>$35-40
Colonel E.H. Taylor Small Batch
Knob Creek 120 proof Single Barrel

>$45-50
Stagg Jr if you can find it
Russel's Reserve SIngle Barrel
Old Forester Statesman

>>13869266
Bulleit is so fucking sweet that I don't like it. I prefer WT for less sweet and a little spice in it.

>>13865277
I have completely switched over to Rye Whiskey, Bourbon is just too damn sweet for me now.

I got this bottle of Pikes Straight Rye for $49.99 at my local Spirits Depot, it has become a 10/10 to me and that is super rare.

Rye>Bourbon.

>>13868817
I have to try it again, I did about 8 years ago and literally had to force myself to finish the glass.

>>13868727
cringe

>>13865269
It's just not that tasty and you can get similar or better at the same price point

Taste like dirt and the labeling and wax looks cheap tacky and mast produced instead of fancy like its attempting to look.

>>13867022
>dubs
>good taste
Yeah checks out

>>13868803
Utah reporting in
Just got a 1.75 liter of woodland reserve for $65 because of this board.
Did I get memed?>>13868803

>>13872361
A handle of Woodford for $65 is okay

>>13868817
>>13870722
t.women who can't handle rye spice
Stick to your girly wheated bourbons.

>>13865269
It's decent & I'll get it every once in a while. Different flavor profile than WT so I definitely don't think it's better.

>>13865269
Its good for growing a gunt
