Thanks to the incorrigibles on this forum, I am trying Maker's Mark 46, recommended by an AI bot for Knob Creek fans.
I'm originally from Eastern Kentucky, and up there, people love Maker's Mark. They used to treat it like a local secret. I worked in a bar there, and I heard "Mark and Coke" over and over. I liked it, but I wasn't over the moon over it.
This stuff is really nice. Very smooth, but has a lot of pepper in the finish. Strong flavor. More to my liking than Gentleman Jack.
AI says this liquor is only 5-6 years old, and it says aging it longer would actually hurt it. They take Maker's Mark, stick burned oak staves into it, and let it sit for a few weeks. Weird.
I forget the cost, but it was somewhere around $32, so not bad at all.
