Well played, Beam, Inc. Well played. :D
Not Beam but Makers Mark...........

Family owned and run......... They are in a little draw and every one that works there are locals...... I am sure it is what they said it is........

Good for them. Even the hundreds of years old Scottish whiskys have been taken over by bigger corporations these days.
I just checked and the family runs it but you were right that They are part of Beam Inc sine 2011.

Guess I better stay current on my investments......and my drinks

The Samuels still have a daily hand in the buisness......

It is one of my standard drinks with about 10 other brands in Ky........

This is what I got from Rob Samuels when I wrote him e other day.

Bryan,

Strong brands like Maker’s Mark belong to the brand’s fans, and one should never underestimate the passion for a brand like this.

We didn’t expect everyone would like this move, but we obviously underestimated the passion for the product just the way it was. We’re humbled by the overwhelming response and extremely grateful for everyone who took the time and made the effort to talk to us, most importantly our Ambassadors like you.

Cheers to you!
Rob

Growing up in close proximity to our Northern border seems to have made a Canadian Whiskey fan out of me. That said, I just opened a bottle of Woodford and am enjoying it.

Speaking of Canadian Whiskey, a friend brought a bottle of "Forty Creek" over last week, that is really smooth!

I usually drink Knob Creek though I also keep Woolford Reserve, just bought a new bottle, handy.

Anyone try "Devil's Cut". Interesting flavor and finish.

Knob Creek is my neighborhood Bonfire favorite....introduced by a Ct. hunter and Yankee Fan turned NH resident...still likes the hated Yanks though.

I was very happy to hear of Maker's change of heart in regards to the proof of their bourbon. I can't say I have a favorite bourbon as I honestly enjoy them all.
Currently I am enjoying a glass of Woodford Reserve Double Oaked. Very comparable to Maker's 46.

Have really enjoyed Basil Hayden's recently....believe its a Beam small batch. I married a Kentucky girl whose dad introduced me to bourbon 11 years ago and he always gets me something good at Christmas.

I've been enjoying Buffalo Trace. Nice and full on the palette with a sweet, slightly smoky finish. And at 20 bucks a 750.

Two that I've recently enjoyed and will probably become staples for me have been Bulleit Bourbon (red label) and 1835 Texas Bourbon. Both good neat or on the rocks. The 1835 is pretty dang good in an Old Fashioned, as well. :lifter
