Maker's Mark Distillery Tour - Art of the Drink 38

[TheSquareNCompass]

Based on your review of Makers Mark I decided to try it and I am pleased to say it is now my bourbon of choice.

I was a committed Jim Beam Black man but not any more.

Thank you very much.

really interesting, and whats even more interesting for me are the different terms, like the "Distillers Beer" in Scotland and Englands its called the "wash"

i dont dislike jack daniels i love jim beam but makers mark takes the cake. verry good robust flavored whiskey

[larsonhicks]

wow - check out that bottle at like 6:55!

[trickbear]

That is called a slam dunk bottle. About 1 bottle in 50 is done this way. They very rarely get on the shelves of stores because collectors pay a premium for them.

You can do your own slam dunk when you take a tour. It isn't on the bottling line, but a wax dipping station at the newly refurbished gift shop. You buy a 375ml bottle, take it to the station, and you can dip it yourself. True, it's not the 750ml, but hey you can still do a slam dunk.
