I thought it was great...

Adding it to the ranks of the elite along with Crown

Great "every day" whiskey...dirty, but sits higher on the shelf than Wild Turkey

thoughts?

not bad, I like it.

I think Makers Mark is a great bourbon that appeals to a lot of different people. The smooth vanilla taste is always consistent and you can find Makers pretty much everywhere. I recently picked up a couple of handles for less than $70.

I wouldn't put Crown on the top shelf anymore. I used to like it a lot, but that was before I really developed a taste for bourbon. The taste just doesn't vibe with me like a good american whiskey does. I would definitely put Makers on the top shelf, sure there are others that are more...."exotic", but Makers is a perfectly made bourbon imo.

it's a different bird..I like mixing things up with a canadian...I find it easier to sit around during the day and drink Canadians easier

bourbans seem like more of a "night" drink

Golf balls, tumblers (plastic ones, but

), drink stirrers, and probably some other s*** that I can't remember.

Nothing really special, but it's free and there's no hassle.

I love Maker's. It was one of my first experiences with alcohol. Still drinking it every chance I get either on the rocks or as an Old Fashioned. About the only other Bourbon that I enjoy regularly is Knob Creek. Both are very good. Knob Creek has a bit more flavor, but each is good in different ways.
