squire Posted July 14, 2015 Share Posted July 14, 2015 There are others that I like just as much, some better... but the stores I visit don't always carry them. They always have Maker's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Restaurant man Posted July 14, 2015 Share Posted July 14, 2015 If makers mark bourbon was in a "old fitz/pappy/willett bottle people would be falling all over themselves to wax on about the perfection in that bottle. Haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

squire Posted July 14, 2015 Share Posted July 14, 2015 I've long maintained if they had kept the Old Fitzgerald line going using Makers whisky most consumers wouldn't have noticed a difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JDSmith619 Posted July 14, 2015 Share Posted July 14, 2015 I enjoy MM regularly and will continue to. I've got a MMCS and will probably buy another. It does its job and I'm fine with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unclebunk Posted July 14, 2015 Share Posted July 14, 2015 Picked up my first bottle of Makers 46 today (which joins regular MM and MMCS on the shelf) and looking forward to sampling it tonight while watching the All-Star game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have only had 1 or two bottles and that was over last winter so I went downstairs and grabbed one of the three I have bunkered from my IN trip.

ebo Posted July 14, 2015 Share Posted July 14, 2015 Just to point out a possible reason that 'bar pour' didn't come up to snuff.... It may have been adulterated; or may not even MM. I know, Iknow. ..."Poured directly from the bottle; I saw it!" However, there are unscrupulous bar owners/tenders who cheat like the devil just to make extra cheddar off unsuspecting patrons. ...Just sayin'........:bigeyes:Normally I would agree with that. But, this bar has only been open for a week. A co-worker opened it and asked me what bourbon/scotch she should have available that is a bit more upscale and readily available...... and that she could sell at a decent rate and price. MM was one of the bourbons I told her about. I know the bottle was new. I just didn't care for it at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drunkenjayhawk Posted July 15, 2015 Share Posted July 15, 2015 I just finished a 750 of the standard and I will replace it. is the 46 worth the extra or no? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fozzy71 Posted July 15, 2015 Share Posted July 15, 2015 I am loving the 46 tonight but I got 3 of em recently on sale in IN for $20 so I am not sure it is worth the premium. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drunkenjayhawk Posted July 15, 2015 Share Posted July 15, 2015 I might get a 46 next time at the store I go to most often. Rarely I see Makers products onsale around here. But I can hope! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
camduncan Posted July 15, 2015 Share Posted July 15, 2015 (edited) 46 runs at $80 a bottle here in Australia (approx. $60 US).... To me it's worth every cent, but I sure wish I could get it for $20... or $30... or $40 Edited July 15, 2015 by camduncan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flahute Posted July 15, 2015 Share Posted July 15, 2015 I came to really appreciate the bottle of 46 I had. I'll replace it eventually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I usually see it for around $30 at the lowest. usually around $35. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TunnelTiger Posted July 15, 2015 Share Posted July 15, 2015 I feel MM, MM46, & MMCS are all good bourbons and not gimmicks. I just enjoy it a whole lot more when I haven't had it in awhile. It's just not an everyday pour for me and I've never bunkered any. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
