I just bought a bottle of the MM 101 and they hit it out of the park, it's incredible and the new bottles now have the paper label like the regular & the 46 with the 101 marking on it, not the etched bottle and it now has a cork at least the bottles I have I emailed MM and they verified that they now are using the classic paper labels on the 101 bottles!. I picked up 2 bottles so I could take the half bottle of the MM 46 I have and I topped it the rest of the way with the 101, giving me basically a 97.5 proof bottle of MM 46! Tasty as hell! and if you pick up enough bottles of the 101 and hang on to the cork afterwards, they fit perfectly in all the other MM bottles. great review and 🥃Cheers!
If there's no new Matt vids just go back and watch some oldies but moldies. I happened to be sipping on some MM 101 after being frickin' sick for a week. It is tasting pretty good. Cheers Matt and I hope your dental reconstruction project is going well. Cheers dude!
That moment when you know you like something that you weren't expecting with that smile of surprise that you cannot contain is gold. (That sentence was awkward, but I know you get it).
Next from Maker's Mark, will be Maker's Mark BIB...gotta keep coming out with new ways to get people to buy. I have been interested in this one and am very happy you reviewed. Thanks for the great and entertaining review...as always!
Same thing happened to me...I went to Makers Mark...tasted everything...have never been a "Mark" fan at all....but the 101 is the BEST!!....downside....you can only buy it AT MAKERS MARK!!!!
A lot of people have recommended this bottle to us, but to this point I haven’t been inspired enough to get up off my sorry buttcrack to go get me some. But this my friend, is all the motivation my buttcrack needs. Picking this up on my next trip to the whiskey store.
After sipping this on the stream this week I was excited to hear what you had to say about it. I’ve never tried the regular maker’s but I do like the 101 a bunch
Thanks for the honest review (and the entertainment, as always). I was going to pass since I already have the cask strength, but the 101 sounds completely different. Cinnamon stick versus elephant ear - I'll take both!
I'm tearing at my desk right now watching this. I love how Matt drops the s bomb and the mute comes in right after. For me I can't stand any of the Maker's Mark bottlings. The Maker's Mark 101 was the super sweetie sweet spot to this Elephant ear wearing guy at pre pandemic fairs. The Maker's Mark 101 was my last chance at Makers Mark and I'm glad I took it. It will be the only one I drink now as it is the only one I can stand.
I picked this up while starting my collection during April 2021 and holy crap this has to be the best tasting bourbon I’ve had yet and my experiences are quite limited. And I’ve also picked up a bottle of blantons. Dare I say I like this better than Blantons. 🤭 giving the blantons a neck to get some air in there and see how I like it.
Amazing right?! This one quickly moved to number one for me. It's been compared to Pappy Van Winkle using a very close Mash Bill! Thanks for the review
So I had both the Se4-pr5 and the MM 46 Cask Strength staring me down in the isle... And I went with th 46CS... I hope it was a good route! Now... This 101 looks tempting as well! Cheers
The local VA State Store was discounting this to $36.00 At this price I figured, how could you lose? So I bought the two remaining bottles. Fantastico!
Big fan of MM101! Got a couple of bottles on my last cruise. Hope i see it here in MD! I have a love hate thing going with makers too. I like 101 and the limited releases, hated cask strength and the regular is unimpressive
The last bottle of cask strength Makers Mark I bought was a screw top. It was thin and reminded me of Makers 46. Def not worth the money. I was told that Makers Mark sold to a Japanese Co.
I guess I must have looked like a dumbass jumping up and down in the Big Stop parking lot, but when I explained that ADHD Whiskey said to, I think they got it.
How can you not like Makers 46??? Just drop down and do 100 pushups. Don't really like high proofs but 101 should not be too bad. But to me I could probably buy at least a couple of bottles of 46 for the price of 101. Just love 46. Now get to those pushups. Hell some other dudes picked Makers 46 over Weller.
Yes it is a nice bourbon but as one reviewer stated the 101 and the 90 taste just about the same. This is just a money grab, in a barrel you get 89% of the 101 volume, compared to the 90. So if the 90 is $22 then the 101 should be $25. But it is priced at $33.49 where I am. Seems something like WT 101 at $20 would be a more sensible purchase.
Matt may have a better answer, but in my experience, older bourbon has a depth, and more warmth. Younger whiskey is like taking a bite of fruit that isn’t quite ripe, the flavor/smell is sharper. That may not help, but you’ll begin to notice as you get into it. It’s a combination of proof and age. Lower proof stuff, to me, is like drinking a coke after all the ice in the glass has melted. The extra 11 proof points over the standard Makers makes a world of difference. I see the same difference between Wild Turkey Russels Reserve 10 year at 90 proof and Wild Turkey 101 (a blend of 6, 7, and 8 year old bourbons). The WT 101 is slightly younger, but the proof makes it better than the 10 year, IMO
How long has MM101 been around? Certainly never seen it in Canada......but then a lot of good bourbon never makes it to Canada.....yeah I'm talking to you FOUR ROSES!!!!!!!!!
Just to be clear, FR SiB is available in Ontario and the Yellow Label is available in most provinces but Ontario is kind of a separate country....like Quebec....and Alberta despite having privatized liquor sales can't seem to get a single bottle of SiB........Ontario quit hoarding.
@@Watchman999I am waiting very impatiently for it to hit the LCBO. I'm still fairly new to bourbon and that is one I am eager to try. I did manage to grab some Eagle Rare 10 and Weller Antique 107 when they briefly hit the shelves, though.
Thanks for the info y'all, I'll hafta round me up a bottle, I'm not the biggest makers fan anymore which is odd cuz that's what I started out on. But for 40 bucks I can step out on the limb.
@@ADHDWhiskey I always assumed you shlam back BTAC and Michters 20 as your daily drinker. I've got OGD BiB right now and I enjoy that a lot. Probably should give 114 a go.
Matt glad you liked it man. I feel like our flavor profiles are similar. Makers 101 is certainly a different girl. Cheers!
Thank you so much!! Love it dude!

Gave up on Maker's Mark and you convinced me to try it - and not my thing at all. :bleh
The 46 CS is very desert-y and nice, though. imo.
Great intro to the video, laughing the whole time 😂 Definitely going to be sharing this channel!
Thank you, Dov! Cheers brother!!

I just picked this up today!! Thank you for your review, new subscriber! And I like This 101!! West up to Makers Mark!!

101 is so good!!
ADHD Whiskey tell ya what. Makes my want to try their cask strength stuff.
Dude, you're a trip! I need to buy a bottle.... I've had the original, the 46, and a bunch of FAE, BRT, etc.... but never this 101.
Thanks for the honest review (and the entertainment, as always). I was going to pass since I already have the cask strength, but the 101 sounds completely different. Cinnamon stick versus elephant ear - I'll take both!
If you love the cask strength you'll love the 101
Picked this up a couple weeks ago. It fantastic. Best Makers by far IMO.
High five! Totally agree!
love your style thanks for the video!

Thanks MVP!!
Can’t wait to see your next video 😉
I just found a bottle at the grocery store for $25. It's pretty darned good.
Heck yeah!
Absolutely your my best friend and company keep on keeping on ❤️
So I had both the Se4-pr5 and the MM 46 Cask Strength staring me down in the isle... And I went with th 46CS... I hope it was a good route! Now... This 101 looks tempting as well! Cheers
Haha! So many options!
Nice find one the 46cs! I keep checking for here but don’t think it’s made it to Florida just yet!
The local VA State Store was discounting this to $36.00 At this price I figured, how could you lose? So I bought the two remaining bottles. Fantastico!
Matt I hated makers mark 46 then I let it sit for two months came back to it and wow for $27 a bottle holy crap it’s delicious just let it aerate
Aerating as we speak!
Big fan of MM101! Got a couple of bottles on my last cruise. Hope i see it here in MD!
I have a love hate thing going with makers too. I like 101 and the limited releases, hated cask strength and the regular is unimpressive
A dang good bottle!
Now available at Costco for $34 for the 750ml Redbox
I’m sold! Ima go get me a bottle right now!
Matt. Every video I laugh so hard. You’re the bestest ever
Thank you Jeffrey!
Damnit Matt now I need to go find a bottle.
Yes you do! Lol!
Just picked one up for $36.99. CAN'T WAIT!
Just got a bottle of this, and now I know what I'm drinking for the live tonight!
Did you like it?
@@ADHDWhiskey i did very much. Not usually into makers but it was great
Me: *Not knowing what an Elephant Ear is slowly wandering towards the highway sobbing uncontrollably*
Matt: Don't do that actually
Just in time!!
I’m not a makers fan, but I really enjoy this one. 👍👍👍 great review. I’m going to sub elephant ears 👂
oooo this sounds really nice. Was a bit underwhelmed by Maker's 46 so maybe this is the one that'll turn me onto wheaters! haha
I enjoy it a lot! It might be the one!
Bought 2 bottles of 101 on a cruise last year, previously wasn't available stateside. Makers ought to sell this year round.
Agreed!! Make it a staple!
I like your videos, and then I watch them. 🤙🏼😂
Haha! Love it! Thank you
Can't believe this isn't corked, this must be one of the most expensive screw top bourbons on the market.
That's what I was thinking! I tugged and tugged!!
Imagine spending secondary prices on Weller 12 for a screw top
The last bottle of cask strength Makers Mark I bought was a screw top. It was thin and reminded me of Makers 46. Def not worth the money. I was told that Makers Mark sold to a Japanese Co.
What sort of Camera are you using and is it the same camera you use for live streaming?
Panasonic Lumix G7 for everything. Livestreams are harder to dial in which is why my videos look better/different
So good!
Going to have to get me some of this too then, I like the 46 cask but thats about it...intriguing...
Yeah...I didn't think I was going to like it. I friggen like it! Lol
Same here. 46 is the only one I want to have again. They are all different.
i got bubble gum on the nose, caramel corn on the palate, even at a higher proof it's more palatable than standard MM, good stuff
I like it!
I guess I must have looked like a dumbass jumping up and down in the Big Stop parking lot, but when I explained that ADHD Whiskey said to, I think they got it.
Lol lol lol sorry for being such a moron
It's great and it's much more available then special reserve Weller in my area. Need to pick up some more actually 😂
Yeah....I would take this over Weller SR every time!
I think Weller normally runs $30... Again if you can find it. $20 swing between the 2 though...
How can you not like Makers 46??? Just drop down and do 100 pushups. Don't really like high proofs but 101 should not be too bad.

I would probably pick 46 over Weller SR too! In the middle of these push-ups....out of breath
I just bought the small bottle of the 46 Saturday to try and man is it delicious!! I'll be definitely purchasing the big bottle.
Sipping along to this
*pop *

thanks for saying not to give up

I personally think that the 101 and the 90 taste significantly different but that could just be me
@@ADHDWhiskey If you don't taste them side-by-side then it really isn't a good test. The fellow I cited was going back and forth between them.
Btw, to the moon and back 1400 times is about 668,794,000 miles. So that's a lot of love!
Thats minimum!
I’ve been thinking about adding a handful of applewood chips to my 101 wild turkeys just curious bet it would give it a great dark color
I got one haven't tasted it you make me want to get another one
Taste it first you silly goose!
Grabbed a couple bottles today, you better be right about it being good...or else...or else...ok nothing will change
Haha! First bottle I can take the blame for but not the second one!
I eat an elephant ear at the Illinois state fair and got on the tilt a whirl🤢🤮 but when u said sweet it mc sweet pie that was some funny stuff🤣
Tilt a whirl doesn't mix well with anything lol!
Even though the sound isn’t as awesome, screw tops are superior.
They do the job better....but aren't as cool, lol.
Right. Like Larry Bird.
got one on duty free... let's see... cheers.
Maker's Cask Strength is the sweet spot for Maker's
For some reason I get an off putting note on it...but its probably just me
I just like the look of the red wax 🤣🤣 I did purchase this shhhhhhhhhh
As a novice bourbon taster, what do you mean by "youngness" on the nose? What exactly is that?
Matt may have a better answer, but in my experience, older bourbon has a depth, and more warmth. Younger whiskey is like taking a bite of fruit that isn’t quite ripe, the flavor/smell is sharper. That may not help, but you’ll begin to notice as you get into it. It’s a combination of proof and age. Lower proof stuff, to me, is like drinking a coke after all the ice in the glass has melted.

The WT 101 is slightly younger, but the proof makes it better than the 10 year, IMO
Merry October firstest
Happy newtober!
I don't love Maker's either.. I'll go grab one.
Let me know if I'm crazy!
Will do.. i just grabbed one
What up MATT...🥃
Emil!!
Hop on board guys - plenty of room on the maker’s train! Choooo chooo
Haha Cheers Mike!
OK, this guy is very soft-spoken, but he would bend me in half like a pipe cleaner :-O
$30 at Meijer . Not terrible but I won't be revisiting it next " holiday season ".
Now I'm confused. I too don't like original Maker's so I assumed I wouldn't like this either. Maybe I will give it a try.
I would! Its not super expensive and is definitely nothing to be mad at
Is it sweeter than the 46 makers Mark?
I’d love to smell an elephants ear but not until you told me😍🤪
Is this now a paper label bottle again?
Picked one up last week. Haven't cracked it open yet.
Open it up!
Drinking it now!!!
I’m waiting for a semi truck to come by... like a big one...
Don't do it!!
How can i send you a bottle?????? :)
OCT 31...Micheal Myers...Spooky Spooky

Is this Cody from the liquor store?
Different Cody! 🤣😂
Everyday is a holiday with bourbon 😁
You gotta be kidding me?! No cork?
WT 101 vs MM 101?
Probably Turkey....but that gives me an excuse to try them side by side
That is a screen printing technology, btw.
Laser beam?
@@ADHDWhiskey they might have updated the tech to be laser printed, but like roll screened.
"and, I think she loves me..." 🤣😂🤣🤣😂
She might not....it's really hard to say
@@ADHDWhiskey by the way mine treats me, I'm not sure she does, either. Don't let her see this, though. She might beat me harder than normal 🤣
