    I agree with Sean I feel like this is more of a B+ to A- range. I think this one was really good and different for Marker's plus the fact it is very findable bumps it up for me as well. With that said MMCA crushes this bottle....ALSO PEOPLE DONT FORGET TO HIT THAT LIKE, SUBSCRIBE AND NOTIFICATIONS BUTTON❤❤❤.

    I had not had any Maker’s Mark in about 10 years. I found BEP and loved it. I now have 3 bottles of it. Found the new Maker’s 46 Cask Strength at a Costco and really liked it, so I went back and picked up another bottle. Would love to find a Cellar Aged at a reasonable price. 🥃

    • @AppalachianChaplin
      @AppalachianChaplin 12 днів тому

      Cellar age ain't ever gonna be reasonably priced, even it's msrp is expensive for a 750ml bottle. But...worth the money. Even some secondary prices, worth it.

    @Flint_Hyzermatic 11 місяців тому +3

    I bought one of these ($69) and it turned out to be the first Maker’s Mark I ever liked. Usually get a bit too much burn or alcohol taste out of them, but the BEP is quite enjoyable. Had to roll my eyes a bit at the ambiguity of the label’s tasting notes, though; you could probably use those notes to describe any bourbon, lol.

    Great content as usual. I bought 2 bottles of this when it first came out, but don’t revisit it all the time. It’s tasty, but it leaves a dry and weird coating in my mouth. I will say that I’m sitting here waiting patiently for your review of EC C923 🤣hopefully that one comes soon. I am a big fan of it and hope you both are too

    Whats weird is in this video you said Cellar Aged will likely be whiskey of the year. Your 13th Colony video is after the Cellar Aged video and in the 13th video you exclaimed it WILL BE whiskey of the year and almost best thing you ever had. Its almost like you completely forgot about the 13th colony bottle all together lol.

    This sounds like Dan's lack of fondness for the brand coming into play. He came into this with his mind already made up and was ready to slap it down. He liked it more than he expected to, but, couldn't admit he was wrong enough to give it a better grade. I have it. I have thoroughly enjoyed it, and I am not a big fan of Maker's.
    Sean got this one right. Not your normal bourbon. Solid all the way around. A great addition to your whiskey collection. B+/A-

    C- for me. After all the hype, it's mediocre at best, especially for the price. It's 80-90 where I live. ...but I'm not a MM guy. But for that price, even at 70, heck no. EC BP for a similar price destroys it. JD SBBP for 65 blows it away. OF 1920 for 50-55 blows it away. Rare Breed, blows it away. If it was a 35dlolar bottle, I'd be more kind, but hell no at 70-90.
