Sweet!

As you know, we are big Maker's Mark consumers. We've consistently chosen this winner for about a decade now due to its fine taste, great lore and tradition, and it's potent punch. But first, here's a picture taken from our recent trip to the Thunder Nationals.


The pineapple is emphasized. You can gauge this hefty bastard as a handle. We clobbered it, of course.

I digress, and now I get to my point. We Maker's Ambassadors have been told for months now to expect a new product from those fine people and we are thrilled with the release of "46" with the first bottles being dipped literally days ago. While it might be a while yet before we can drink them off the shelves, rest assured we'll give a full update.

  1. I was a friend of that Maker's.

    That Maker's taught me that when it's killed, you pay for it.

  3. For all you Maker's Mark fans, the distillery has just released its first new whiskey since the 1950's. The new spirit is different from traditional Maker's in that after the normal aging of approximately 6 years occurs, the barrel is drained then seared French oak planks are inserted. Afterward the barrels are once again filled with Maker's, and laid to rest for a few more months. Essentially the new oak will add more hints of caramel, spice, and vanilla.
