I always liked Makers with a few drops of water in it...
One could always switch the Buffalo Trace if this pissed them off enough, it's better anyway. |

I don't have to worry about it as I'm not a huge fan of Makers Mark anyway. I enjoy bourbon, and I'm always trying different ones. I'm supposed to love Makers, but when I drink it, it's just meh. I like Knob Creek a whole ton better. Hell, I like Evan Williams better than Makers.
So...this news means precisely dick to me. Except when I go over to the old man's place, he is a Maker's guy.

I bet you won't hardly notice the taste or how drunk you get. Look at all these dumb drunks getting pissed over nothing.
Sorry, but if there were a thread about how Cali Kush isn't gonna be as dank, you guys would rip us "stoopid pothead's" apart.

So far we have suggestions for a scotch and a rye bourbon as alternatives. WHERE ARE YOU BOOZE SNOBS?????

Put two of them side by side and you won't notice a difference in taste or how gooned you're getting. But, when they tell you that a product you pay good money for is being watered down, you feel cheated.
Do what Wild Turkey did. Let the shelves run bare for a bit, build up your stock, build up the hype then release the hounds. I'll stay with the Eagle Rare for now. Very nice. Anyone here into Basil Hayden's? A guy a work swears by it. |

"More Water, Same Great Price!"
- Maker's Mark the slogans write themselves "We'll piss in it and you'll still buy it" "When we said it was special, we were just kidding" fyi, this is the ad copy still up on their website as of 1 minute ago: Quote:

I'll stick with Amish Pitchfork for special occasions and Minotaur Hoof as my house bourbon anyway.

I love Makers, but as far as an every day drink, I generally won't spring for more than Jim Beam.

They would probably get less shit if they just raised the price.

And they don't want to do that because they don't want to run off some of their loyal drinkers. They've taken a far bolder approach and are hoping to make it a temporary change only. They're trying to do the right thing here by remaining accessible to their fans.
