Maker's Mark

This is the stuff that the seersucker-wearing prep-dogs drank (and still drink) in Lexington, KY, where I grew up.

Not that there's anything wrong with that---some of my oldest friends are seersucker-wearin' prep dogs, but I choose different attire. And different whiskeys.

Maybe it is just the contrarian in me, but I just have never been crazy about Maker's.
But as a whiskey appreciater, I do recognize it's redeeming qualities. Namely, it's strong and smooth finish, casky character and classy overall mojo.

But overall, Maker's is a little too traditional for me. Give me Jim Beam or Wild Turkey anyday.

Rob's Rating: 6.5 out of town
