The other thing Maker's does really well? Their client experience is exceptional. After we had our tour, they invited us to spend the rest of the day at the distillery. They have kind of a museum, some art work, fantastic grounds, and a restaurant. They're the best at promoting the brand
Very happy you are covering Maker's! This was my first bourbon and first stop on the KY Bourbon Trail. BEAUTIFUL grounds! Unique marketing with the wheat and wax seal. May not be the best "wheater" on the market, but it kept the style alive for the other good ones!
I worked on a series of Maker Mark poster years ago, building rough models of buildings from iconic cityscapes, dripping the wax on them, photographing the wax with an eye on lighting from the cityscape, and then had those wax drippings photoshopped onto the cityscapes. Maker Mark always had great marketing people.
@@Synday I wouldn't say superior, but I would put high quality sipping spirits on the same level. Problem is, most people don't want to spend $50 for a bottle of good Vodka.

As a home distiller who adamantly believes in his own spirits....my favorite whiskey is my own,homade liquor, which ranges anywhere from gin,vodka,single malt and bourbon. Do to a motorcycle wreck,I havent produced my own for about 4 months because of an awful motorcycle wreck, I just purchased my first bottle of maker's mark and I couldn't be more satisfied. its surprisingly smooth for a traditional type bourbon,I love it!
The "I'm not going to drink my parent's generation's spirit" phenomenon was one of the factors that led to the reduction of production of Japanese whiskey which then led to lack of supply when it became popular outside of Japan due to (among other things) a favorable review of Suntory’s Yamazaki Single Malt Sherry Cask 2013 which was designated the "best in the world" from the Whisky Bible, raising the global profile and demand of the Japanese whisky.
My favorite Maker's Mark has been a Private Select, bottled a smidge under 110 proof. It was rich in flavor, velvety in texture and pleasantly but not overly sweet. Best bourbon I've had thus far.
Still my favorite whiskeys as of right now. I remember I tried to go back to Jack Daniels after I finished the bottle of Maker's, and it tasted like spicy water, in the most literal sense. No flavor, just a warm throat. Maker's goes so well with Coke, it's crazy! There's something about the mixture that makes it taste rich, creamy, dense, smooth with some bits of tingling to my tongue and lips. But, an overall amazing experience, from someone who prefers Berliner Weisse beers (favorite is 1809). I remember accidentally getting the mint julip version (I'm very colorblind) and didn't notice until I drank it. I was taken aback, and threw up because I wasn't prepared for the taste. Still finished that bottle.
For me, Makers makes the best "whiskey & coke" around. It consistently wins "& coke" blinds at my house vs any other bourbon / whiskey that one would normally choose to mix with coke.
Maker's Mark has an excellent product. Wether it is the regular, Cask Strength, 46 or 46 cask strength, they are all consistent and made the right way. Take a tour there. They do things the same way every day. The label makers are machines from the 50's... they print their lables, cut them put them on.... they still hand dip the wax off the bottling line... they move the bottles from spot to spot over the years.... and they have a natural cellar in the hillside.... all while being on a fantiastic property that is a working farm. I will always be a big fan.
Makers Mark was my first attempt at a whiskey besides Jack Daniels and so on. Frankly it was the perfect entry, am now on Buffalo Trace and it is going to be a great Journey.
I Thailand I saw this bottle the first time with a home made moon shine inside. The bottle always looked intriguing to me and after your review I think I will get myself bottle to finally try it.
Love it. As a Gael, I am used to Pot Still Irish and Fine Island Single Malts...Bourbon is wonderful too...but this one has echoes of the Gaelic whiskies with the new world combined. It's a fine piece of work. My go-to for my fellow Gaels who look down their noses at Bourbon. I believe Bouboun is as fine as any Celtic Uisce Beatha.
I toured the Glen Breton distillery last spring and the manager told me that they had initially released their ice wine finished whiskey with a blue wax seal, and then got a cease and desist letter from Makers Mark not long after. Having just fought the Scotch Whisky Association for several years over their name they were somewhat tired of court battles so they conceded.
I kinda started my love of bourbon from maker’s mark, and now after trying many others that might be better or more complex, I still like it. I’m surprised you guys didn’t say anything about the strong brown sugar taste that I always get. 🤷🏻♂️
Used to drink Maker’s primarily but started delving into other whiskies including Scotch; now just can’t drink Maker’s. Not sure what happened but it lost its place on my shelf. Kudos to Maker’s for putting bourbon first before just trying to fit in. As always, great vid.
I only drink jack Daniel's and Evan's Williams 1783 I. Only 25 kinda new to wiskey what would you think is better than Jack Daniel's trying makers mark now lol
Hmm, I totally missed the new intro until someone on Facebook mentioned it, same music but kind of sliding glass window effect. I might have to break out of the mold and try the Maker's Mark, but have held off so far because the simple hatred for the brand by some. My wheat bourbon go to is Buffalo Trace on your recommendation over a year ago. Cheers gentlemen on great drams and reviews!
I've been expanding my horizons meaning of other whiskeys but Maker's Mark is one of my first whiskey's I really enjoy Maker's Mark 46 but I wish to try the barrel strength Maker's Mark never had that before one day though I will to the people of Maker's Mark thank u
Quick story why I drink Makers and recommend it to everyone. Back in 2010 I picked up my first car (98 Grand Cherokee) with my dad from Florida and drove it back to my college in Ohio. We stopped by the distillery but unfortunately it was too late for a tour. As we are walking around the parking lot, an employee told us we can walk around and ask other employees what everything was and the whisky making process. As we were about to head out, the first employee asked if we wanted to try their different types of whisky. Anyway, we had a nice conversation and my dad got wasted while I had to stay sober and drive throughout the night to Columbus. The employees at Makers Mark were incredible people and really made us feel like family.
That is a fantastic story and memory to have... we visited Maker's on a regular tour this summer... they still do everything first class and treaty everyone visiting so well... beautiful property/farm....
Thank you for doing the classic Maker's Mark. I appreciate the comparison with the cask strength. I hope some day you will review side by side classic with 46. I have and love both classic and 46. I've watched your other videos with 46 comparisons, but I would really appreciate watching you do the side by side specifically with these two as I feel it could help me better understand the differences between two of my favorite bourbons. Thanks again! - David Bacon Gulliver, Salem, Oregon

You should put the spices in glencairns with gasketed lids and make a display for all of those with their names on the glass and the display. Like a spice rack but for nosing reference. Also things like coffee beans or sawdust that come up in whisky as well.
I've enjoyed Daniel month. As it comes to an end, we wait with bated breath to see if April will become a Rex wreck! (My breath is baited with garlic, cheese and onions.) It's ok Rex, we really DO like you! LOL
Believe it or not, I’m working on my first bottle of Maker’s Mark. When I was younger, it seemed a waste of money, especially when I could buy Crown instead, and recently, I’ve just tried newer brands. I really like the whisky and may keep it in regular rotation. It makes a really nice old fashioned!
It was said that when Bill Sr retired and handed the business off to his son, Bill Jr (who is still head of Maker's Mark), he said "Don't screw up the whisky". And so they haven't. I love this stuff. Great whisk(e)y!
Paniolo Whiskey is also a light whiskey. According to there website they source Kentucky whiskey and add in there vodka (Pau Vodka). This is the Haliimaile Distillery located on Maui, Hawaii.
Wheatley vodka is just that my friend. It's Buffalo Trace and they use your exact statement of why you should buy their vodka. They use all their experience same grain as they use for their bourbon you hit the nail right on the head it just took them awhile to get to it.
I love how he flips off the camera the first time, and then he does it again, and this time it is blurred out. I have been drinking Markers Mark for a very long time.
I visited Makers Mark in Kentucky, and tried it outside o that, and still don’t like it’s flavor personally. The tour of the distillery was interesting though. They had some blown glass sculptures on the grounds from Dale Chihuly, whose work I saw at the Crystal Bridges Art museum in Arkansas prior to the distillery tour!
Daniel, considering your knowledge of music, I belive you could make an amaizing video on wiskey (or whisky) music pairing and Rex could mooch! Doesn't it sound great?
I would somewhat disagree with your statement about the thinking Whiskey/bourbon is an old person's drink. I was a teen in the late '70s and in my 20's in the '80s and ALL of my friends drank Jack Daniels and Jim Beam almost exclusively(yes I started drinking early). I live in Northeast Ohio close to Akron just South of Cleveland a bit. JD and JB were the drink of choice when it came to hard liquor. Still is in these parts. :) Thanks for your show. I just bought a bottle of Monkey Shoulder and I am LOVING it. Very nice. Just found your channels and am playing catch up. Peace
Lost it’s not bad, but you could better spend your money. Get Knob Creek Single Barrel for a few bucks less and you’ll feel a lot better. It’s a better bourbon, at a higher proof, at a lower cost.
@@jwalkblue7 good to know, I think I'm just drawn to proof at times. Hoping to excite more flavours I guess. I have a bottle of Knob 120 in the cabinet as a matter of fact.
Lost I get it, I can be the same way with proof, hence why I’m telling you my opinion on it lol. The flavors are certainly bolder, and Rex is correct that it has some barrel flavor without the bitterness at the end which is nice. With that said, it’s not a super complex whiskey if that’s what you’re looking for.
to all Magnificent Bastards please raise a glass for one of my best friends dads who gained his wings and is enjoying the Angels share on 3/25/19
started the challenge early and giving up alcohol for a month but I will raise my cup of coffee to him
may he have sleep the long sleep in peace

Maker's is one of the ones that started me on bourbon. It's a solid bourbon that is available at almost every bar in the USA. Great review guys!
Ironically I got into Maker's Mark because an old friend stole a box from a bar a long time ago. We drank it all summer long. Good times.
That sounds like a good bloody time my friend

regular maker's mark is my first bourbon 2yrs ago. and I still drink it to this day. a fun one
I worked on a series of Maker Mark poster years ago, building rough models of buildings from iconic cityscapes, dripping the wax on them, photographing the wax with an eye on lighting from the cityscape, and then had those wax drippings photoshopped onto the cityscapes. Maker Mark always had great marketing people.
I’m relatively new to the tribe and its episodes like this where I learn something new about whisk(e)y that I love that keep me coming back!
This is my one of my top favorite bourbon’s therefore this history lesson infused episode is now one of my favorites 🔥🔥🔥👍
If there were no Whisk(e)y I would drink wine or craft beer rather than Vodka.
good pure vodka and clean brandy is far superior to whiskey
Synday haha I doubt many people watching whisky reviews are going to agree with that statement
I would choose craft beer over vodka any day of the week and twice on Sunday. 😂
@@Synday I wouldn't say superior, but I would put high quality sipping spirits on the same level.
Problem is, most people don't want to spend $50 for a bottle of good Vodka.

Idk where you’re from but if sweet tea is as big as it is down south where you’re at give makers a try on some sweet tea !
I absolutely love makers mark. There is absolutely no bite to it and it tastes fantastic.
Interesting. I feel like there abit of bite to it. Compared to others in my collection. It's like cardhu. For me. Both abit harsher but i do like it

Just turned 21 and planning on buying some Makers Mark today

Great show guys,keep up the good work.
having a glas of makers 101.... lovely it is! great video
Great presentation! Thank you. Cheers.
You guys crack me up....great review on my absolute favorite bourbon....I could drink w/ you guys anytime ~ thanks for the vid !

They did! Its somewhere in the back...
This is my go-to for whiskey my fellow drinkers. Thank you for what y'all do and don't stop, well unless you can't walk, just sleep it off. :)
Awesome review. I like Maker’s Mark, but prefer their newer bourbons. I do however keep a bottle around cause it is nice to have.
So i wanted to try out a bourbon and found this one on my local stores shelves to be the most interesting. Now i feel fooled.... love u guys

I can only drink it now with coke, I'd not had it in a long time but someone gave me half a bottle and it's really tough to drink neat.

Flava Flav must be drooling over that big WWE chain
I love Maker's Mark and I love the cask one too. I just got the 101 but I have not tried it yet
Watched this while opening my first bottle and tbh it's my new favorite

Just mixed some Makers Mark into my Cherry Vanilla Ice Cream..... So Good!!!

1 Makers Mark or another always has a spot on my shelf. Cool video
Daniel, I'm enjoying the whiskey history timeline series.
OMG, Rex turned down the Jeffersons? Are the mooch powers fading to Daniel Month?
Got a feeling he's holding them in reserve...passing on mooching opportunities so he can swell his powers.

Casually sipping on a makers mark old fashioned (cos I'm fancy) and scroll past this video...
I swear Google is watching me...
She is... And btw, you look great in that shirt.
It is not bad and in nearly every bar in the US. So perhaps its best value is that you can count on it to be available.
Daniel is me with my friend back in the day with pot. I was a connoisseur with him mainly because I got free pot when I hung out with him.
My grandfather got me into makers from a young age, started me out with high balls and went from there.
Paniolo Whiskey is also a light whiskey. According to there website they source Kentucky whiskey and add in there vodka (Pau Vodka). This is the Haliimaile Distillery located on Maui, Hawaii.
Do a blind comparison, cask strength vs Old Weller Antique
I think it’s very smooth that is why I buy it anyway. Another smooth one is Evan Williams single barrel.
Wheatley vodka is just that my friend. It's Buffalo Trace and they use your exact statement of why you should buy their vodka. They use all their experience same grain as they use for their bourbon you hit the nail right on the head it just took them awhile to get to it.
There was also a shift in beer,going from European style beers to thin American lager beer !
Are there any whiskeys that use a mash bill of mostly wheat? What kind of flavor profiles would/does that introduce?
I drink maker's once every now and then, but Jim Beam devils cut is still my top fav whiskEy.
Since we brought up the (E)y in Whisky....can someone tell me about Dalmore, and why they are a Scotch, but spell with the E?
"It's not your fathers oldsmobile". Lol Ima haft to use that one.
I have my eye on the OBAN nights watch., on his shoulder. Im jealous i couldn’t get one. Video please if not already made
I love how he flips off the camera the first time, and then he does it again, and this time it is blurred out. I have been drinking Markers Mark for a very long time.
Dont even know what your talkin about.
SA Potts if you watch the video you will see
he... HE REFUSED WHISKEY? Strip that mooch title away from him!
Another Maker’s episode? Give us Bastards what we demand, an entire episode devoted to Bunnahabhain 12. We have spoken!
I haven’t heard what y’all had to say yet but I like makers quite a bit. I dig it more than a lot of the more expensive and prestigious bourbons.
a fateful trial have capt Jack Sparrow have MM at his party : i am buying bucket load of MM ! !
would you recommend makers mark for cocktails like an old fasion or a whisky sour??
What's with the Mr. T starter set?
What's in the back with the maple leaf on it? I'm assuming some wicked Canadian whiskey
Daniel please do a video on proper 12
Good video
Can comment or talk about using whiskey stones for whiskey and how it affects the whiskey taste ? Thank you.
I've got in the Maker's Mark because the bottle look different it had the wax seal on it.
Makers Mark makes up majority of my bourbon mixers mixes.
Cask strength is one of my favorites
I’m from the UK and makers is my go to bourbon when drinking in a bar.
i got a bottle of maker's mark, and i don't know if this is true in the US, but in the UK it comes in a little woolen sweater! and it's really cute!
Never seen that in Wisconsin
I visited Makers Mark in Kentucky, and tried it outside o that, and still don’t like it’s flavor personally. The tour of the distillery was interesting though.
