In this video I will review Maker's Mark 46 and let you know if I will sip on it until the bottle is gone and buy it again or if I will skip buying it once the bottle is gone and replace it with something else.

Oh, skip it definitely and ship it to me so I can dispose of it properly

@whiskeyisajourney 5 месяцев назад

😄 oh it will be disposed of property over here don't worry about that. Cheers!

I get a very distinct oak note.

I really like everything I've tried from MM, I was a bit apprehensive to give them a shot because I figured they are just another big brand selling subpar stuff and living off their name but I quite like them. My dad who is also picky really like Maker's, specifically the 46, and I know its a good go-to gift bottle for him. We also brought a bottle to thanksgiving because its a bit more approachable for the non whiskey enthusiast

@whiskeyisajourney 10 месяцев назад

I agree. MM is a very approachable bottle and it gives you options once you want to challenge yourself with higher proof offerings. AND the price is also in the affordable range.

@BDJans 2 месяца назад

Wasn’t overly impressed by 46, but not bad by any means. The French staves certainly give it a different note. But for the price I’d personally rather go for a Basil Hayden Toast

@whiskeyisajourney 2 месяца назад

French staves give off a higher spice note for me. Not the biggest fan unless there's enough sweetness to off set it

@andrettski8686 3 месяца назад

Afraid if I try the MM 46 CS I'll never go back to the reg. 46. I can get 2 bottles for less than one Cask Strength.

@whiskeyisajourney 3 месяца назад

Fair enough... But you can always add a few drops of water to the CS and extend the bottle and you might get more intense flavors. Just saying 😜 Cheers!

@bwarring21 11 месяцев назад

I think that's funny in almost every blind this outperforms. Whiskey snobs don't like it because almost every liquor store has it and they can't brag to their friends about how they have it and you can't get it. A lot of backhanded complements as well.

@whiskeyisajourney 11 месяцев назад

I think it's a good bourbon, but now that I broke through my ABV wall I just prefer the 46CS over this. Cheers!

@lyacoubian 11 месяцев назад

Straightforward review as always Peter. 🥃 I kind of outgrew Maker's Mark halfway through my American whiskey journey. The only bottle I ask for every now and then is the classic Cask Strength with that nice honey wheat burn.

@whiskeyisajourney 11 месяцев назад

Now that I have the taste for cask strength whiskey this just sits on my shelf.

@nickp5511 11 месяцев назад

Nice review! I personally don’t care for this one or the regular Maker’s Mark. I do enjoy the BEP & BRT-01

@whiskeyisajourney 11 месяцев назад

I have a few bottles of MM so I will be doing a First Friday Flight Fight in the next few months. We will see how the BEP stacks up to the 46CS.

@jonathansharpe6194 7 месяцев назад

51% wheat is not a bourbon

@whiskeyisajourney 7 месяцев назад

Oh no...did I say that? I know better if I did. I sure did at 430 should have said wehated whiskey. Thanks for catching that.

@Abby_Normal_1969 11 месяцев назад

I like Maker's Mark 46 more than regular Maker's Mark. I see her routinely at $22 at Costco. At that price she is a buy-again for me.

@whiskeyisajourney 11 месяцев назад

The price is very good I just prefer the higher proof of the 46 CS. Cheers!

@paullang6049 9 месяцев назад

I love Maker's 101 - Limited Release for a similar bottle with a higher proof. I recommend it if you haven't tried it and enjoy the flavor profile of Maker's products.

@whiskeyisajourney 9 месяцев назад

I do like MM profile. I'll give the 101 a try. Cheers!

@RobertMichaelStewart 11 месяцев назад

Skip it for me too

@whiskeyisajourney 11 месяцев назад

Easy skip. Especially when the 46CS is out there. Cheers!

@petevj 11 месяцев назад

I always keep one as a sharing bottle for people who are interested in getting more into bourbon. They're usually coming from Jack & Coke etc and expect "serious" bourbon to be something they wouldn't see in a bar, so just putting this in a glen cairn and getting them to try it properly often gets them thinking.

@whiskeyisajourney 11 месяцев назад

I can see that. This was one of my first bottles I bought when I got into whisk(e)y.

@Frank-uf2vn 4 месяца назад

I have regular Makers, Maker's Mark 101, Maker's Mark 46, Maker's Mark Cask Strength & Maker's Mark Private Selection and think they are all SIP IT! Even the regular MM if that's all you willing to spend. 🥃Cheers!

@whiskeyisajourney 4 месяца назад

Even though I tend to like the CS from them, I think all their expressions are worth a try. Cheers!

I sure liked the look of the older bottle though, more classy IMO.

@Abby_Normal_1969 11 месяцев назад

Additional: I am quite oppositional; I would rather have 3 bottles of MM46 than 1 bottle of MM46 cask strength. I gave a scathing review of MM46 cask strength tasting notes. To each palate its own. It is interesting to explore.

@whiskeyisajourney 11 месяцев назад

Fine by me 🙂 I'm not going to challenge anyone on their own palates. Like you said to each their own. If you like what you like and it's that simple. Cheers!

@stebeardX 5 месяцев назад

Trying this today. not a bad whiskey and around the same as the original for me. skip for me as plenty others to try. cheers

@whiskeyisajourney 5 месяцев назад

It's a crowded market in this price range. Cheers!

@Brad-ic4bp 11 месяцев назад

Hey, don’t just gloss over that cork failure - That’s a sign of shoddy craftsmanship! 🧐

@whiskeyisajourney 11 месяцев назад

My Cask Strength 46 is a screw top. I wonder if they are changing over to that for everything?

@stebeardX 6 месяцев назад

Ive not has this one yet. had the original and cask strength versions. i do like the cask strength more though. cheers

@whiskeyisajourney 6 месяцев назад

I'm a fan of the Cask Strength as well. Cheers!

@pizzawarlord9232 11 месяцев назад

I agree with you. I do not like regular Maker’s Mark but the 46 took me 1/4 of bottle before I think it is ok. Makers does not start to get good for me until it has some proof so the MM101 and the CS are only bottles I always have on hand. Keep a 46 for guests but the 46CS is where I go to instead of regular 46. The regular 46 is $3 less than the Regular CS by me.

@whiskeyisajourney 11 месяцев назад

Once you can handle the high proof bourbons there's no reason to get the regular 46 in my opinion. At least that's where I'm at in my journey right now. Cheers!

@renepirolt 11 месяцев назад

I do love almost all MM products and find them to be very delicious, smooth, and easy sipping whiskeys. I will definitely buy 46 again, but mainly just to have it on hand. Makers 46 Cask Strength on the other hand is one of my absolute favorite bottles on my bar. If you haven't already tried, you might enjoy 1792 Sweet What or the Bardstown Origin BiB, both have a very wheat-forward pallet.

@whiskeyisajourney 11 месяцев назад

This is a good one to have on hand as well as the 46CS. There is definitely a softness to wheated bourbons that I really do like and this one is no exception. Cheers!

@glenngardin3561 11 месяцев назад

Thanks for another great review, Peter. I'm surprised that this is a skip for you. Makers Mark 46 is one of my favourites! Almost always have a bottle on hand. I get the 'want' for higher proof whisky's though. I'm just starting to lean that way as well. Cheers!

@whiskeyisajourney 11 месяцев назад

I just noticed that I have 2 bottles of the 46 CS and I reach for them every time over the standard 46 release so it has to be a skip. Nothing against it I just don't drink it because I have the others. Cheers!

@graveshotx 11 месяцев назад

I agree on this skip. MM46, while good, just isn't good enough to not buy a bottle of something else to try instead.

@whiskeyisajourney 11 месяцев назад

It's a basic bourbon. Not too exciting. Move on to the next one.

@justinmramirez 11 месяцев назад

WT101 and the Maker's Mark 46 are my solid, non special sippers. But I've liked virtually all the WTs and Maker's.... aside from the most basic bottles.

@whiskeyisajourney 11 месяцев назад

WT is slightly too spicy for me, but I still like them. MM is more of my preferred profile.

@tonylastname6468 11 месяцев назад

@@whiskeyisajourney I like spicy, when it's not the only aspect. It's a mood thing. I've had the stave release here from MM, and I enjoyed that quite a bit, as well.
