It’s a great bottle. I usually pass on any of their finished stuff. I think MM are coming around and getting seriously back into the game. Now they just need to make their bottles look better
I agree with Sean I feel like this is more of a B+ to A- range. I think this one was really good and different for Marker's plus the fact it is very findable bumps it up for me as well. With that said MMCA crushes this bottle....ALSO PEOPLE DONT FORGET TO HIT THAT LIKE, SUBSCRIBE AND NOTIFICATIONS BUTTON❤❤❤.
Whats weird is in this video you said Cellar Aged will likely be whiskey of the year. Your 13th Colony video is after the Cellar Aged video and in the 13th video you exclaimed it WILL BE whiskey of the year and almost best thing you ever had. Its almost like you completely forgot about the 13th colony bottle all together lol.
Great content as usual. I bought 2 bottles of this when it first came out, but don’t revisit it all the time. It’s tasty, but it leaves a dry and weird coating in my mouth. I will say that I’m sitting here waiting patiently for your review of EC C923 🤣hopefully that one comes soon. I am a big fan of it and hope you both are too
Apparently there are two different batches. The 110.7 proof batch is considered significantly better than the one yall reviewed from what I hear. Would love for yall to give an update if you can taste the other.
Just found out recently that BEP was released in 2 batches: 109 and 110 proof. Allegedly, 110 is significantly better, but was not featured in this review. Time for the junkies to right the wrong
I had not had any Maker’s Mark in about 10 years. I found BEP and loved it. I now have 3 bottles of it. Found the new Maker’s 46 Cask Strength at a Costco and really liked it, so I went back and picked up another bottle. Would love to find a Cellar Aged at a reasonable price. 🥃
Cellar age ain't ever gonna be reasonably priced, even it's msrp is expensive for a 750ml bottle. But...worth the money. Even some secondary prices, worth it.
If Makers cellar aged wins Whiskey of the year we can all kiss grabbing a bottle at a remotely decent price. Goodbye. Also didn’t help that Minnick had a big O after he sipped it.
This sounds like Dan's lack of fondness for the brand coming into play. He came into this with his mind already made up and was ready to slap it down. He liked it more than he expected to, but, couldn't admit he was wrong enough to give it a better grade. I have it. I have thoroughly enjoyed it, and I am not a big fan of Maker's. Sean got this one right. Not your normal bourbon. Solid all the way around. A great addition to your whiskey collection. B+/A-
I’ve got this bottle right after release. First day I did not enjoy it. It grows on you. I compare it to EC BP A123 not fun at first but give it time. You guys are hilarious 😂
This one was pretty disappointing to me. For me it barely has anything on the nose, and then the palate is just a generic makers profile. Like I literally smell nothing on this one. I let it open up for a few weeks and got the same experience.
This is one that everytime you drink, you get different notes from it. Sometimes I love it, sometimes I think it’s meh. Very interesting for sure. Ready for Virtue Spirits hats to be released btw. Keep it up guys!
C- for me. After all the hype, it's mediocre at best, especially for the price. It's 80-90 where I live. ...but I'm not a MM guy. But for that price, even at 70, heck no. EC BP for a similar price destroys it. JD SBBP for 65 blows it away. OF 1920 for 50-55 blows it away. Rare Breed, blows it away. If it was a 35dlolar bottle, I'd be more kind, but hell no at 70-90.
Man it is so hard doing sober October watching you two gents review some beautiful bottles. I used to sit with a glass of bourbon and watch anytime I saw a video!
I bought one of these ($69) and it turned out to be the first Maker’s Mark I ever liked. Usually get a bit too much burn or alcohol taste out of them, but the BEP is quite enjoyable. Had to roll my eyes a bit at the ambiguity of the label’s tasting notes, though; you could probably use those notes to describe any bourbon, lol.
I think at this point, we’re all the bourbon junkies.
This didn’t have a lot going for me. I agree with the apple juice hints but I don’t get much else.
Put it in a blind and Dan will love it!! 😂
The fact that it's seemingly complex and different is good for a limited edition. If it tastes like everything else makers then why get it?
Glad to see Dan finally recognizing Makers as bourbon to love and drink regularly!
It’s a great bottle. I usually pass on any of their finished stuff. I think MM are coming around and getting seriously back into the game. Now they just need to make their bottles look better
BEP + a nice Connecticut wrapper cigar is a great combo

B- for me even after being open for 5 months. Will not be buying again. Makers Mark keeps disappointing me.!
Sean nailed the hard facts per usual! #TEAMSEAN!
Never noticed it before, but Dan I’m with you on the minty note… it’s very sweet though, like mint chocolate chip ice cream in a glass
Uh. Wow. Haven't been watching long but Sean did have to reboot after that BEP didn't he? 😅
Interesting, my bottle of BEP is 110.7 proof.
it is off profile to me especially compared to RC6 and FAE
I found this to be very mapley too.
Haven't tried the 110.7 proof BEP yet, but love the 109.
Has anyone done a direct comparison of the 110.7 vs. 109.6 proof? I've heard the 110.7 is much better than the 109.
@@nsuster I've heard the same thing, but haven't opened mine yet to check
@@jmk1118 Sounds good. I just got one today from a charity auction and it's a 110.7 so I'll have to compare!
It's obviously basil, y'all. Come on!
I feel like you wanted to say Basil. Was the note basil?
BEP
FAE
M-O-U-S-E
lmao

We both have the short term memory of a goldfish
I get makers mark out of my bep every morning
I get hazelnut all night long. Mine is 110.7 though
I too am a cheap wheat hater

56$ in vegas
You can take Sean’s grade on Makers with a grain of salt. 🤣🤣🤣
Apparently there are two different batches. The 110.7 proof batch is considered significantly better than the one yall reviewed from what I hear. Would love for yall to give an update if you can taste the other.
I went and looked at my bottle because I was certain it was over 110 proof. Makes way more sense now.
I really liked it
Just found out recently that BEP was released in 2 batches: 109 and 110 proof. Allegedly, 110 is significantly better, but was not featured in this review. Time for the junkies to right the wrong
Surprised this wasn’t compared (a/b) to the MM Cellar Aged
I had not had any Maker’s Mark in about 10 years. I found BEP and loved it. I now have 3 bottles of it. Found the new Maker’s 46 Cask Strength at a Costco and really liked it, so I went back and picked up another bottle. Would love to find a Cellar Aged at a reasonable price. 🥃

Don't all of Maker's Mark go into the barrel at 110 proof? It sounds like marketing window dressing to me.
If Makers cellar aged wins Whiskey of the year we can all kiss grabbing a bottle at a remotely decent price. Goodbye.
Also didn’t help that Minnick had a big O after he sipped it.
"shut your whore mouth" Oooof, vampire down, I repeat vampire down, anyone know how to revive a vampire?
Please do a Blue Run review. Tell us what all those are you have there and if they're any good/rank them. I can't really find anyone else to find out.

Love your work guys - Team Sean cause he loves Turkey like most Australians and Maker's is good
I’ve got this bottle right after release. First day I did not enjoy it. It grows on you. I compare it to EC BP A123 not fun at first but give it time. You guys are hilarious 😂
Dan weird question on a weird whiskey did you get the pixel 8 pro yet?😅
There are two batches, 110.7 and the one you reviewed. I have both, currently the open one is the 110.7
This one was pretty disappointing to me. For me it barely has anything on the nose, and then the palate is just a generic makers profile. Like I literally smell nothing on this one. I let it open up for a few weeks and got the same experience.
I thought this was better than last year's offerings.
I just polished my bottle off last week. The first few pours came off like fruit punch & pixie sticks. It really turned out to be a great bottle.
Surprise you guys just now either able to get this one or available in your areas since it been out earlier. Yet you able to get Cellar.
Love these bourbons. Wish they were easier to find. All prior versions I've tasted were solid "A" for me.
I have had this for a few months now and I really like this one. But I will say FAE01 is my favorite from the series.
I'm sipping it now, it's a damn fine bottle!
I’ll never look at a bottle of BEP the same again.
I'm not a Maker's fan and I really like this.
I grabbed one of these a few months ago at my local Costco. Been waiting for a friend to make a trip to visit to crack it open.
This is one that everytime you drink, you get different notes from it. Sometimes I love it, sometimes I think it’s meh. Very interesting for sure. Ready for Virtue Spirits hats to be released btw. Keep it up guys!
That’s how I feel about pretty much all of the wood finishing limiteds. Usually I love them though so no real complaints.
I would like to find a back up bottle of this.
C- for me. After all the hype, it's mediocre at best, especially for the price. It's 80-90 where I live. ...but I'm not a MM guy. But for that price, even at 70, heck no.

BEP is some good stuff 👍
BRT-02 is delicious
I have a feeling that this neck pour needed a bit of air.
bought a bottle, liked it so much bought another bottle
Tarragon herbal perhaps?!
Hoodie Dan
The last of a great series

Stay strong brother. I lasted 2 weeks

Same here
It sounds like a really really good 45-dollar whiskey.
Have you tried it? It’s definitely worth more than $45.
Hey can you guys do a barely legal rye tier list?
