Bourbon Junkies did a comparison of MM46 to The Heart Release and they were having a hard time understanding the difference between the two. It sounds like just marketing
@@993C2S yeah I was wondering how bourbon bills palate would react to the similarly of them. As far as I can tell it's seared vs toasted staves between the 2. I wish mm would do 12 years in a regular rickhouse and another set of 12 years with no rotation. Then release all 3 (cellar, rotated, non rotation) kinda like hardin's creek Jim beam. Now that a good Le release idea imo to have 3 different expressions to try.
Unfortunately didn’t have any MM46 CS left to compare but from what I hear the heart release is older. The heart release is not traditional makers vibes like the MM46 CS though I think it’s a welcome change
Thanks for dressing up for this, Bill. My wife approves. ;) Great comparison, as always. Personally, I wont be buying any more Makers, but this will definitely help those who have fomo about the Cellar Aged. Oh, and congrats on the repeat sponsor!!
Hey Bourbon Bill, just cracked the Maker’s Mark Heart Release I picked up in CT yesterday. Once again, you are spot on with your review! I agree completely that this whiskey lines up quite well with Weller Antique 107. I just did a blind and i was hard pressed to tell the difference between the two. Your pallet and my pallet Definitely see eye-to-eye, my man!!
All of these new bourbons aren’t worth much, they just get over hyped by dumb asses on UA-cam. Same thing that happened with Jim beam 7 year, it is absolute garbage and people on UA-cam were raving how it was the best thing they have had. I think a lot of these UA-camrs are getting paid under the table by big companies to promote
Nice review BB. I was able to find the MM Heart Release readily available by me for about 3 weeks at MSRP. I like it, but not as good as Cellar Aged for me. 🥃
It surprisingly hasn’t hit Pa yet but yeah I could see how some prefer cellar aged but as much as I wanted to like cellar aged this is the 2nd sample I’ve had and it just continues to not shine through but you know me I need oak and it’s just missing it
Two days ago Josh Stuff had a Live and someone asked him when Matt Madness starts and he replied, "Waiting on the word. Whenever Matt's ready I'm ready." And then, yesterday, Dara Drinker had a Live where she was doing "Matt Madness training" and someone asked when Matt Madness starts and she replied, "I wish I knew but I don't."
Haha yeah I haven’t had a single communication from him on it and no one seems to know anything so who knows maybe that’s the list for 2025 at this point
Have heard *very* mixed reviews on The Heart Release. One middle-of-the-road review said that the average Private Selection store pick is better. I wonder if there's a lot of batch variation.
Yeah I don’t know this was one sample but the distillery exclusive was similar flavor to the heart release I think it comes down to do you like the makers normal flavor profile or something different I like both just think it’s refreshing for them to change it up
Didn't buy the cellar aged, it started off at 150 dollhairs then Ohiolq pushed it up to 200 dollhairs. Now listed at 175. Nope I'm out. But this week makers released to Ohio 3 exclusives. I picked up home sweet Ohio at 110 proof, up to 8yrs old. Have yet to try but tasting notes apple pie, cocoa, Carmel with a bit of orange zest. 75 dollhairs.
Never heard of or tried Myrkl. I have tried ZBiotics even before they sponsored an episode and always thought it worked and definitely helped the next day

Thanks for the honest review. Glad to hear it's off profile.
My pleasure and yeah this one seemed a little different than the normal wood finishing in a good way
You should have added MM46 CS to the blind and see how that $55 banger would have placed!
oh like that idea. cheers

I want that as well 12yrs all in the top of the damn Rick house

Haha I was hoping someone would notice. And yeah this isn’t like next level but it’s a refreshing change of flavor for makers

Glad you liked it. Yeah it’s definitely sweeter and more towards the weller profile than normal makers
Bourbon Bill doesn’t miss 🎯
Haha bullseyes all day
Wow! A+ goes to Maker's Mark marketing department. Nowhere online can you find a bottle of Cellar Aged for under $350 at a minimum.
Haha and it ain’t even worth its msrp sadly

Thanks for this review!
Of course hope it helps
Great review Bourbon Bill
Thank you kindly
Another superb blind flight review. Told you that distillery pick is tasty.
Thanks again Cole for that one it is great it’s too bad they didn’t make that the real nationwide heart release

Hey Bill, consider losing the colored whiskey glasses...miss seeing the golden colors of the different offerings....
You know I always show the color if it’s important but we all know makers is never dark colored lol I usually use clear for more singular reviews

Dude I've got that same Movado ⌚ that's crazy
Haha small world it’s a sweet watch one of my faves
Babe! The new bourbon Bill just dropped!
Haha exactly it’s a family show

Yeah I mean the cellar aged is good but you saw how it did blind this time and even when I reviewed it originally it just never impressed me sadly.
I just saw a bottle of MM Cellar Aged for $599.99 🤨
Myrkl is better than Z biotics it's much cheaper and does the same exact thing.
Never heard of or tried Myrkl. I have tried ZBiotics even before they sponsored an episode and always thought it worked and definitely helped the next day
Bro you can't be jumping up in a man's ad sponsor and dissing it 😂
Day 456 of asking for a Bourbon Bill discord and barrel pick
Day 1 of agreeing to this
BB answers comments quickly so I don"t know why it has been this long.
Haha barrel picks are tough discord probably easier
I do but am traveling for work this week so you know different time zones and all
I hope you one day pick a veeeeeerrrrrrrry special barrel!
