I see EVERYONE here won't STFU about how great Maker's Mark is for quality to price ratio. Seeing as the recommendation also comes from fellow single-malt snobs (I love Cragganmore), I've decided to try it.

I asked my bro to get me a bottle for Christmas. I'm hugging it right now.

It's a few dollars more per bottle than Jack. Worth it, though. :D

That's $30/Liter

How does this taste compared to Jim Beam? (Jim Beam Black $25/Liter)

Jim Beam is absolutely horrid. Maybe it was not fair since this happened when I was new to scotch and tried Cragganmore (12 yo single malt) first then Jim Beam (2yo~).

Jim Beam IS terrible though. I do like Jack Daniels as it's quiet sweet yet potent. Jim Beam is just shit.

so i just had a shot of Maker's Mark. it's much better than Jim Beam, but it isnt all that as posters in this thread say.

I put it on par with Jack Daniels.

I just saw this bumped to front page and I thought I follow up.

I guess it's good for it's price? It's really nothing special btw. If you have nothing better to drink and can't afford single malt, then this would be fine. But I think that's about it.

Where do you get Black 750ml for $23?

He might have meant red, which is even cheaper than that and wtfpwns non-scottish whiskies.
