TJ, I've got two bottles aging under the bar, but lately have been pouring Gentleman Jack and after the first one find it quite acceptable.

I dont know which scenario is worse:

That a company like MM has no one with a MBA on staff and thinks that this is a wise business decision

or

That a company like MM has MBAs on staff and still thinks that this is a wise business decision

Jack Daniel's did the same thing many years ago. Went from 90pf to 86pf and now is 80pf. They still sell a few bottles around the world...

Jscott · February 13

I've never cared for MM, I think it's too harsh. For me it's Knob Creek all the way, all the time!

Several years ago Kahlua went from 56-58? proof to 40 proof. The only way I noticed it was that I make my own. 58 proof, and sometimes buy some and there was a subtle difference in flavor.

i only use makers mark for cooking, wonder what it will do to the recipes
:)) im in whiskey heaven right now, they started selling paddy whiskey in the nh liquor stores this week, havent had a bottle for nearly 20 years

Truth of the matter is this little bugger stopped drinking milk a bunch of years back and switched to the harder stuff. Rebel Yell, Wild Turkey, Maker's, Bullet all in my past. As it is all about percentages, I prefer the waters of Knob Creek now and am heading for Woodford's Reserve for a spell.

FWIW, I have been a MM Ambassador for several years and have not received this email. Not saying it's not true, but not in my inbox yet and the item is from 2 days ago. If I get it I will post here to confirm.

Paddy is sum easy drinking juice right there. We just got a shipment in here in Ga.

Me and the wife just took a shot of Woodford Reserve Double Oak...my new favorite. WR regular was good but this is smooooth

lousubcap · February 14

+1 with Browninggold-the Double Oaked is quite the deal.

travisstrick · February 14

Makers 46 is my current favorite. I tried some woodford for the first time (a whole gallon) and it did't quite blow my skirt up.

Most larger stores carry it already. Green's, Tower, Bev Superstore, Roswell Bev. I would call 1st and ask. Ga Crown distributes it. Just ask your local store to order it. Where are you located?
FYI: Paddy is an Irish Whisky, not a bourbon for those who don't know.

Lit · February 14

Exit 13 off 400. Wonder if total wine carries it. I usually check different whiskeys and haven't seen it before in the several stores local. Might have to cruise down to Roswell.

Lowflyer · February 14

Exit 13, go down to POP's on 141. He's got it! It's a light easy drinking whisky, similar I think to Jameson.

Lit · February 14

Thanks haven't been to pops in awhile. Usually go to Jax.

Lowflyer · February 14

Call JAX, I think they have it too. Only comes in .750ml Btl. We used to have some liters out in the market.

I have had the 46. Pretty good. IMO

Que_n_Brew · February 14

Makers 46 is the $&@!

Jscott · February 14

@lowflyer and @lit, you can ask Michael at Cumming Beverage Mart on Hwy 20 - across from Publix. He'll pick it up and carry it for you.

Lowflyer · February 14

I believe Michael already has it as well. We have pretty good dist on it in the bigger stores.

Jscott · February 14

where are you located @lowflyer and Lit?

when you see it, dont let the cheap label scare you off, its a very mild smooth tasting whiskey, even a little more mild than jameson its its less money, 20 dollars a fifth here

Lit · February 14

I am right on the alpharetta/cumming line. Right off exit 13 on 400. Thanks fishless gonna go check a couple stores at lunch.

Griffin · February 14

Has anybody tried the Jim Beam Devil's Cut? Wondering if its any good or just a marketing ploy....

Howdy, Stranger!
