Not according to Ron and Brad. They must just have better taste, like me :lol:.Quote:

I like it as I do other wheaters. I like the cinnamon finish but for the price there other bourbons I like better such as Old Fitz BIB and Weller. I don't have much of an ability to sort out different flavors as others do. For me if I like the taste, it's good enough for me.
It's better than the regular MM... for what that's worth.
I wonder how this is selling now that the hoopla of the original roll-out is over?
I asked a couple of local bartenders ---- they said that it's languishing on the back bar, seldom requested.
I agree with others here, it is better than the regular MM but nothing really special.
That exactly how I feel about it as well.Quote:

Maybe big MM fans will always have a bottle for more special occasions, but it seems hard to believe that will carry the brand. That said, they don't have to invest much to produce it.Quote:

MM46 provides them a chance to taste something new while keeping the consumer as part of Beam's revenue stream.
I suppose there's some logic behind that, and the marketing folks at Beam obviously know more and have better information than I do. I just picture the MM drinker as being someone who doesn't branch out very far.Quote:
