I work at a liquor store in a redneck filled town in the middle of nowhere. Makers Mark is top shelf for us. These rednecks STILL dont buy it, even when they are looking for something better than their usual Seagram's 7 or Kentucky Deluxe. We get a lot of business men passing through town that will pop in and buy a bottle of Buffalo Trace or whatever allocated whiskey we might have in at the time, but hardly any ever actually buys Makers Mark. Its just not that good for the price.

Maker's Mark is a decent mid-shelf whiskey. Like Jim Beam or Jack Daniels, Maker's Mark is more known for its recognizable branding than its quality as a whisky. Springing for a Maker's Mark may impress some who drink exclusively Jack Daniels or Fireball, but an actual whisky snob would turn their nose up at it. It's a "fancy" brand for people who can't afford actual expensive whisky.

Like other people said most american whiskeys sold in stores are Bourbons, and contain loads of corn. Makers mark is the same and I won't turn it down but don't particularly care for it either. It was funny when Maker's mark used to do product placements often in movies and TV shows often and Harry Osborne drank it in Spiderman 3 despite being a rich corporate heir

I’m a Bulliet bourbon fan. Makers Mark just comes off as crap especially for the price. Of course I stopped with bourbon because it sneaks up on me so much. I think I’m good until I wake up hung over.

I don’t know how anyone can drink bourbon by the bottle daily, I assume he’s mixing it with dollar store soda and ice.

I haven't seen the gunt picture, as I was not interested in him around the time it first appeared

am I considered lucky or not?

What's a really good whiskey? Does Maker's Mark have an opposite?
 
I'm not a whiskey guy - more vodkee and rum. My old roommate used to drink Wild Turkey and Makers. Makers had too much sugar for my taste. I bought a bottle of Buffalo Trace once. Gave it to a friend after one glass.
 
I've drank more bourbon than probably everyone in this thread combined. Makers is fine. People who shit on it generally tend not to like wheated bourbon, which is also fine. The stock Makers isn't my favorite but the 46 and the cask strength Makers are both great. The fact that they let anyone with the money to buy an entire barrel (around $13,000) call out the exact finishing stave recipe they want is an awesome idea and I've had some great custom Makers.

Makers isn't the finest bourbon you can buy but it isn't anywhere close to the worst.

Makers Mark is entry level for "real" bourbon. I tried it, thought it was OK, and moved on. Honestly I enjoy buffalo trace or even bulleit more. I haven't worked up the gumption to dig into a really expensive bottle of something really good yet- at least in bourbon (I've tried a couple of single malts that were more pricey than I'd normally be willing to drop on booze - but haven't come across a bourbon I recognize that isn't hideously expensive yet)

You don't have to dig deep for first-rate bourbon. Four Roses Small Batch and Four Roses Single Barrel are off-the-charts good and around $40-$50 or so. If you really like Buffalo Trace, Eagle Rare is good (I like BT more though). Bakers is also pretty good.

But it's personal taste. First you have to decide whether you dig wheat or rye more and then look for a mashbill that's more dialed in to your preferences.
 
What is this image?

I'll give you a hint: seeing it immediately drove me back to Kiwi Farms.
