This is the simultaneously best and worst thing about doings blinds: the truth hurts
the "ohhh noooo" from Sean and the dead eyes from Dan at 13:24 finding out Makers came in first place was hilarious
People hate on makers mark but not gonna lie, that's the stuff that made me like whiskey
Maker’s was my first experience with whiskey other than Jim Beam Vanilla and I knew instantly that I had found a category that I could explore.
That reveal. 😂 We got equally surprised by regular old Maker’s recently as well. And regular old Maker’s just beat Buffalo Kosher Wheat in a blind for Curiosity Public too. Turns out it’s pretty okay bourbon.
It's the speed rail bourbon where I work and it's damn fantastic. I love wheated bourbon, coming from a scotch guy
I am an Ambassador for Makers, it's been my daily for 25 years. I always go back to Makers, the 101 is tasty along with any cask strength! So glad Dan was floored!
I'm with you. I drank JD for years until it dropped from 86 to 80 proof. Moved to Makers. Now I switch back and forth between it and 1792.
I'm an Ambassador as well. I fell in love with Makers after having the 46. Then branched out from there.
Finally Makers getting some respect on its name.
Maker's is under rated because it's so available. 46 is one of my favorite American whiskey's.
Now I'm going to have to go out and get a bottle of Maker's Mark just to smell the Red Jell-O 😂
I started my bourbon journey with Maker's so I'm glad it won.
I have not drank any Maker’s Mark in years. I picked up the MM BEP and really liked it. Then I found and picked up 2 bottles of MM 46 Cask Strength at a Costco. 46 Cask Strength is very good. Changed my thinking of MM now. 🥃
I had a bad opinion of it for years. Might have been because of its high markup at many mid-tier restaurants. Then I got some at a cold football game and was amazed how nice it was. Figured it was just due to the cold, so I tried it again - nope I actually just like it. Then I tried the special stave releases....and I'm sold. Not one of my TOP bottles but I've completely turned around on MM in general.
love when you give old bottles a new review.
almost got me with the larceny bottle shape fact but then I realized it's obviously deliberately shaped like a keyhole
Makers 101 at $40 is just good. I'm not a huge Makers fan, but I always have a bottle of 101 and sometimes a store pick. I pour it for friends and they always love it. Love your blinds. Hilarious as always.
I just picked up a Weller SR for the first time yesterday (so timely video), and I definitely got similar fruity notes on the nose. Not my favorite palate in the world, but the nose was awesome
Green River is at Costco right now for $33 in the Chicago area
Makers 101 at a local liquor store in Milwaukee is $30 and $34 at Total Wine
I just picked up a Makers 750ml for $19.99 at a local grocery store. Good stuff!
Makers always delivers, I always thought the brand name became too well known and people dislike it for the underdog effect. The 46, 101, and Cask strength, they are all so damn good!
Same thing will happen to Buffalo trace eventually.
Bardstown Origins Wheat blows them all away
Nice to see you guys coming around! Whenever I say MM is better than Weller SR, people tell me I am crazy!
Sometimes, it just hits the pallet differently at different times. I've had bottles where I go back and forth on them from day to day.
Gabby has to come to more of these, there's a little more pep in Sean's step. Haha! Great stuff gentlemen!
Texan here, Weller SR isn't hard to find, but we're not overflowing with it either. Also, we can't buy liquor at the grocery store because freedom or something.
Don't sweat it. All grocery stores have RIDICULOUSLY high prices on alcohol
Old Elk Wheated is one of my faves. Great work boys.
Green River Wheated is $29.99 at Costco in Indy right now. Solid deal.
I believe this is true of many things, not just whiskey 🥃. People can be label bias, which can then influence the tasting experience.
Love MM, it was my entry into non Jack or Jim whiskey. For a few bucks more 46 is a fantastic summer easy drinker
My in-laws have blackberry and raspberry plants. So good.
totally agree on regular larceny. However, I think the Larceny Barrel Proof is very good.
Yay it’s Jordans Bottle!
MM Cask Strength and MM 46 Cask Strength and MM 101 are solid. Biggest problem is that you can't have an explosion in craft whiskey if you give MM and the other big distilleries too much love.
Everyone loves to hate on makers. But it’s beat everything I’ve put against it in a blind. It’s one of my favorites.
Amen to that, they hate on it because it’s popular. It’s basically just a bunch of hipster bourbon snobs that bash it. Makers mark always seems to win in blind testing lol.
Don't feel bad guys. We also put Maker't in first and thought we didn'l like it. Although we put Larceny in second.
Just opened my first Gunnar's wheated and oh wow. Really nice. Nice and different. I have the Green River wheated too. Just haven't opened it yet. Appreciate all the good info. You guys make it fun.
Dan join the Makers Dark side. I like 1792 SB better but Makers is solid whiskey. Glad you agree
I finally feel so justified. I've watched so many of your videos with no love for Makers.
Got Green River for 29.99…saying it’s $50 is nuts
I love the comments putting down MM. There is nothing like blinds to show a name bias. I currently don’t have any Marker’s Mark in my cabinet, but I’m now getting a bottle of cask strength because of this.
People love to shit on makers mark because it’s well known, it’s still one of my favorite bourbon’s
I drink a shitload of makers. I like it. Makers 46 is really good!
“Man, does that feel like I have a drinking problem?” Awesome!!!😂
Just found a 100% WHEAT FREY RANCH here in Nevada. I've got a good feeling about this.
“Enlarged”. Oh, Sean.
Btw, blackberry bushes- dear love them. The berries come and so do the birds. Beware.
Didn't expect this ranking. I'm a big fan of anything MM46. Cheers fella's
Maker's Mark 101 is the true flagship Maker's
I love makers... Especially their wood finishing series
I’m only halfway through the video but I see where it’s heading. The moment at 6:16 was totally foreshadowing.
When larceny was $17 it got me really liking whiskey. Now for $26 it is hard to buy. I have a pick and a barrel proof which are much better
People hate on makers because the bottle doeant impress your friends but its great bourbon
Larceny and Maker's Cask Strength blend is delicious
I would also recommend Rebel 100, if price is really a consideration.
Hell, I'd still recommend it if prices were equal.
We like to think we’re fancy and that we outgrow Makers. The fact is, it’s a well made product. Sometimes we just need to get over ourselves.
Green River $34.99 in OH-IO.
Makers was my first and still drink it after 3 years
Dan's "red jello" note is going to go down as one of his best.... right up there w/ the ole "starbucks pink drink" LOL
I actually get the red/strawberry jello but before before it’s set as a solid on Maker’s cask strength. Haven’t had regular except in cocktails though.
I needed this validation and vindication 😂
I blinded larceny a few years ago, it was dead last. Don't even remember what won, just remember how bad larceny was lol.
Everyone hates Makers until they blind it. Not sure why it draws so much hate. Hard to beat that flavor at 90 proof
7:16 -- thank you guys for bringing awareness to blackberries. ;)
Bardstown wheated bottle is pretty awesome too
Would love to see Redwood Empire make a wheater and stomp all over these bottles...
I’m a tad partial to the weller line and I buy it anytime I can find it. I bought Larceny and found it to be absolute trash but I know a bunch of people that love it.
The best available wheated bourbon is Rebel 100
This is pure gold. I have a Makers store pick in the larder that is all cherries and peanut buster parfait, and I love it every time.
I see these are all bourbons, but I’d be curious where Woodford’s wheat whiskey (four grain) would land here.
Wheaters are my fav.
Dan, you're evolving!
Holladay Soft Red Wheat 6 year bottled in bond is a new hitter in the wheater field
Green river is 35 bucks and its everywhere in south Carolina
I’ll take any of them over Weller SR. Paint thinner with a hint of vanilla.
Old Elk is my current wheated bourbon that I've been drinking. Marker's Mark has become my Old fashioned mixer lol.
I didn't like Larceny and Makers either, but I guess I will have to revisit them.
Makers 46 better yet. Just picked up 3 cask strength. My opinion, it's a must have.
It's wild how different MM cask strength is from their standard juice. It's almost as if it isn't just proofed down! CS is _solid._
Old Elk is my go to wheater
There are people who like Makers Mark, and then there are people who say they dont like Makers Mark.....
But they really like Makers Mark....
I'd love to see a wheated blind with:
Bardstown Origin BIB
Holladay Wheat BIB
Wilderness Trail BIB
Southern Star Paragon BIB
Rebel 100
Throw Maker's 101 in for shits and giggles.
I do love makers for the price
green river is so good
In the way of Bourbon Junkies blinds…Maker’s Mark = 1792 Small Batch. We talk crap about them and they just win blinds left and right.
Makers and Larceny are the Ricky Bobby of bourbon.
I agree with that. WSR, Larceny and greenriver are too youthful
Nothing better than contradictory results from previous conclusions...........except that Larceny stuff
No rebel 100?
Larceny...hands down.
I feel like so much less of an alcoholic hearing someone ELSE describe Maker’s as “gentle,” and “soft.” My wife asked if I was ok when I said similar things to her about Maker’s 😂
Surprised you didn’t add the newish Bardstown wheater to this taste test
Do you guys drink a little water between the samples?
Makers, at least the few bottles I’ve tried, always has the same harshness that stands out. Hard to explain. Not a winner in any category for me, do like their other offerings though. WSR is weak but enjoyable at least.
I want to see Matt Porter do this blind.
come to the PNW we mow blackberries down like the scourge that they are. They're yummy though.
And here I am trying to get some to grow
Makers46 is hard to beat for the money
Wilderness trail bonded wheat
next up for maker's is a battle against Weller cybp haha
Makers FTW
Makers really is just a solid bourbon. Hate it all you want, but at the end of the day you know its solid!
Funny how you guys get the one bottles you don’t like come in first lol😂
Just Dan this time, I like maker's
People keep crapping on MM and I don’t understand it.
Weller SP and MM finishing series is my favorite for a reason. Don't know what got y'all off the Makers train, but give their special releases and finishing series a honest try in more blinds.
The MM 46 French Oked Cask Strength is hard to beat. It has a red label and I probably shouldn't be telling anyone.
I would never pick Larceny over Maker’s!
I did a Wheated blind a few weeks ago. I also actively say I don’t like makers and….it won the blind….I felt so defeated haha
