Maker's is the best. I loved the show on history channel Modern Marvels whiskey. The fact that Maker's rotates their barrels for moisture shows just how hardcore they are about their bourbon. Double shot rocks is the best after a long day of work.

Makers is good, definitely not the best
 
I personally love Maker's Mark. I've been a fan for years. I notice a definite change in flavor between mixing say Jack or Crown with Coke and mixing Maker's with Coke. I even notice a flavor change when mixing other bourbons over mixing Maker's.

If you like bourbon and maybe want to try a bit of a sweeter flavor with it, try out Jim Beam's Red Stag. It came out last year and is an 80 proof black cherry infused bourbon. It's become a favorite of mine lately. Granted it might be too sweet for some. I think it works good as a shot or mixed with Diet Coke since mixing it with Coke is too sweet for me.

I was at the liquor store yesterday and the guy recommended I might like to try out Woodford. It was a bit more expensive than what I wanted to spend as I was already spending $200 there so I didn't pick up a bottle. But it's reviewed well and I think I'll try it next time.

I personally am not a fan of any whiskey straight, but that's at least partly due to my having some stomach issues and straight whiskey causes me to have bad acid reflux.

So is it standard to mix whiskey and coke then? I have a big unopened bottle of Crown at home, but I usually just mix it half and half with water over ice.
