| | | | Makers Mark is good stuff, but I discovered Wild Turkey 101 Bourbon and 101 Rye. Whoa! Those are GREAT stuff. |

Most people including myself find it terrible as a sipping whiskey. At least in Canada that is...not sure about elsewhere. It's not even usually stocked at the bar.
I like Maker's straight. Wild Turkey isn't really my bag. I bought a bottle once and found the flavours unnecessarily harsh, although I liked the orange flavour undertone.

Corner Creek
Black Maple Hill
Elmer T Lee
Rowan's Creek
Elijah Craig
There are a few others I can't recall at this late hour, but for the most part, I've come to enjoy bourbon more so than any other liquor. |

Maker's Mark in the little 50 mL bottles are perfect sizes.

don't recall how long it took, but it all happened in within a few months, certainly less than half a year. i could ask him, but i don't know the secret handshake so he may act like he doesn't know what i am talking about. now that he is an ambassador and all, he has somehow changed..... maybe you don't want to go down there....

... The best part was doing "unaged bourbon" shots (basically Moon Shine) after the dinners were over.
Makers is still my favorite Bourbon. Every winter I gather a bit more heat with my Kentuck Martini's (warmed Makers & Amaretto ... )
