Maker's is okay. I have a bad connotation with it though as I had a boss who would try to get everyone to drink Maker's on Friday afternoons. He was such a tool.

Bourbon?!

Maker's 46 is pretty tasty. I like Blantons as well. I have about every kind of bottle of bourbon in my bar. Maybe I should start out my saturday evening with a taste test. :)
I was surprised by Maker's decision to water down. They have such a great customer loyalty program, have a strong brand and seem tapped into the customer experience...and yet they do something like this. Apparently a couple of the execs (family members) tasted it for 30 days and decided watered down was just as good. Puzzling.

Didn't know this, but I'll keep drinking it.

Maker's Mark backpeddles, puts down the water hose.
Since we announced our decision last week to reduce the alcohol content (ABV) of Maker’s Mark in response to supply constraints, we have heard many concerns and questions from our ambassadors and brand fans. We’re humbled by your overwhelming response and passion for Maker’s Mark. While we thought we were doing what’s right, this is your brand – and you told us in large numbers to change our decision.
You spoke. We listened. And we’re sincerely sorry we let you down.
So effective immediately, we are reversing our decision to lower the ABV of Maker’s Mark, and resuming production at 45% alcohol by volume (90 proof). Just like we’ve made it since the very beginning.
