Matthew
Matthew,
Strong forward sweet bourbon taste followed by strong kick
 
Kristopher
Kristopher,
Leaves a very distinct aftertaste but it’s smooth and a great “cheap fancy go-to.”
 
Owen
Owen,
Not my favorite but it wasn’t bad
 
Grant
Grant,
Great smooth taste. My go to adult beverage
 
Taylor
Taylor,
Great party favorite
 
Chad
Chad,
Overall quite tasty! Definitely a step up from the regular Maker’s. I still have a preference for Weller Antique 107
 
Byron
Byron,
As a single malt drinker, I often don’t enjoy bourbons but I do like this one. Quite drinkable.
 
Michele
Michele,
I liked it however it's very " hot ", I recommend to drink it chilled or over ice. I normally use stainless steel ice cubes for my whiskey because I do not like to dilute it but this drink could use a little dilution.
 
Kyle
Kyle,
Probably my favorite drink is a Bourbon Salted Caramel Milkshake made with Makers Mark. I enjoy Makers Mark by itself too though
 
Salvator
Salvator,
The best. Combination of flavor and value. Other bourbons taste great but most of them cost more.
 
Harry
Harry,
I like it!
 
Andrew
Andrew,
My favorite bourbon. I take it near or mixed with ginger ale
 
Dale
Dale,
Lightly sweet at the uptake, aromatics invade the sinuses, do to the high alcohol content. The oaky char lays on the tongue long after the last sip is had.
 
Ron
Ron,
Great sipping bourbon, neat.
 
Jason
Jason,
Great cocktail bourbon. Sweet molasses and vanilla notes. Goes well with Coca Cola.
 
J
J,
Certainly can feel the extra kick. The honey flavor is really nice on the finish. Not too much burn. I like this more than the original, but maybe a little less than the 46. Anything Makers Mark is really solid.
 
Anthony
Anthony,
Much like the classic Maker's, but with a more intense wood flavor, and a little less bite. Very good upgrade from the classic.
 
Sean
Sean,
Nice flavor.

Loved every flavor. A bit strong on the after bite.
 
Keith
Keith,
Smooth, better straight than on the rocks.
 
David
David,
A wonderful step forward from the original Maker's. Not as sweet, but much more aromatic on the nose and with a smooth and soft finish. I believe it is a little more complex than people give it credit for.

Justin,
Needs an ice cube, opens it up
 
Anthony
Anthony,
Strong but flavorful. A little overpowering. Better cask strengths available.

Michael

Not as smooth as Tin Cup for whiskey, more bite, less caramel
 
Aaron
Aaron,
Great taste. No bite. Paired with a cigar, it's exquisite!!
 
James
James,
Makers is always one of my favorite goto bottles. The cask strength never fails. It has a slightly aggressive bite until you are used to it. The finish is smooth compared to the 4 roses cask strength. I think this is one of the best values in the market for taste and appeal.
 
Darryl
Darryl,
Makers Mark is the best bourbon for the price! It has a Carmel scent and I love sniffing it before I drink it neat. It mixes well in a Manhattan as well as a Red Hook!

Blake
Blake,
I am a makers fan and the cask strength makes a little go a long way without any negatives. excellent on ice with a splash of water.
 
Bret
Bret,
Great sipping neat out of a glass. Strong, but still really smooth. Good slightly sweet and spicey finish. Well worth putting in your bar!

Delicious smoky bite but smooth, it's a perfect balance to some carbonated soda.
 
Rick
Rick,
It's ok, too harsh to drink by its self. I like it mixed with juice.
 
Kirk
Kirk,
Harsh without much character.
 
Tom
Tom,
First the aroma hits you and lets you know you are in for a stiff drink. Let it breathe a little, open it up and this is a smooth drinking - BUT STRONG - bourbon. I added a splash of sweet tea to it and it got even better. Heresy? Maybe, but I suspect any splash of sugar only improves the smooth drinkability.
 
Jeffrey
Jeffrey,
Very smooth, subtle, great with a glazed cigar
 
Sean
Sean,
It's right there with black label for a nightcap

Not my taste. Too strong on the nose and nothing special
