[QUOTE="Doc Manhattan, post: 36583, member: 341"] I'm still a big fan of Maker's Mark, but as I try more good whisky, I've come to realize it's blended for smoothness rather than complexity. Consequently, they use a very low percentage of rye in their malt mixture. Good stuff, easy to sip, but not very interesting. Dollar for dollar, for me, Scotch and even Rye have more "WOW." (There must be a dust storm in my granfather's urn to hear me say that!) I will say: Blanton's bourbon is wonderful and complex, but the price is a slap in the face--I've had exactly one bottle, given as a Christmas gift. Besides that, I don't know much... until recently, it was Beam on on the cheap, or Maker's when I was flush. [/QUOTE]
