Maker's Mark to reduce alcohol content
If you like to enjoy your Maker's Mark with a little water, then there's good news. You won't need to add your own water anymore because the distillery will do it for you. The Kentucky distillery behind Maker's Mark is taking some of the alcohol out of their product, going from 90 proof to 84 proof. "Fact is, demand for our bourbon is exceeding our ability to make it," wrote Maker's Mark executives Rob Samuels and Bill Samuels Jr. in an email to clients.
It's really a pretty ingenious way to deal with supply and demand. If you water down your bourbon, you can make more bottles to sell, and when you've lowered the alcohol content of your bourbon, nobody will buy it anymore. Problem solved! http://now.msn.com/makers-mark-waters-down-bourbon |

So I had to finally try me some Buffalo Trace based on everyone raving about it. Have to say I like it better than Makers, still not as much as Forty Creek (and yes I realize I'm comparing apples to oranges, but I like oranges better).
If I'm drinking something neat, though, Buffalo Trace it is. DT |

It would be interesting to see a double blind test of the current recipe vs. the watered down version to see if people could actually notice a difference.
It's a lecherous ploy, but I doubt the ability of people to actually taste the difference.

This is what we call sarcasm. Talk to the Pats fan and others that are having their little temper tantrums in this thread.

It's not what you drink if you're after a good burn, but it if you're looking for an extremely good mellow scotch, that's a bottle you definitely want to have around. Now if you're wanting a nice peaty burn, find a bottle of Ardbeg Corryvreckan. Your kitchen smells like a campfire as soon as you pop the cork. It's also not a drink for every occasion, but if you're in the mood for it, man oh man is it good stuff. If you have a bottle of Nadurra, a bottle of Corryvreckan and then a bottle of 15 yr old Fiddich, you've pretty much covered all the bases.

I think the Sam's Club price is $17.99, which makes it a good value at that price point.

Must have been a pretty big back lash. Now I don't have to worry about stocking up.

Same. I picked up a bottle and I really enjoyed it. I prefer Makers though.

...not if you are a bourbon drinker. I like the Glenlivet as well, but I'm primarily a bourbon drinker. So...thread NOT over...
