That is very aggravating for me personally, I can remember my first drink of makers. Cant believe they would cut the alcohol by an average of 3%. TNAL just go buy you some WR now, I prefer it anyway.

[huntntech]

I bet they don't lower their price to go along with the lower alcohol content..

[MOhuntingGuy]

What is WR? I've been getting a bourbon kick lately and have been trying a bunch.

[Tomkat]

They misjudged the market. I will never buy it again as that would reward a flawed (cheapasa) business practice. They should instead raise the price on the established product.

I prefer Makers over Woodford. I was thinking Basil's would be the obvious choice, but it is owned by Jim Beam as well.

[TNAL45]

So much for their marketing bullshit.

Actually I think their marketing is spot on - they don't give a shit what you think.

I guess I should have worded that differently, WR rare or Double oak. If I am in a severe drinking mood I will buy devils cut.

Mose WR is woodford reserve.

Oh the shareholders. I'm as capitalist as they come, but they screwed everyone by doing this.

[Tomkat]

Personally I like Russell's Reserve. And I like Woodford as well.

Just buy some Makers 46. It is 94 proof.

Blatz beer has been made with the same recipe for thousands of years.

[DeadEye_Dan]

Not a big whiskey fan, but I'd give my right nut for this...

My father once told me don't ever let me catch you drinking Bushmills. Thats protestant whiskey. Our people drink Jameson. For the longest time I heeded his advice then one night I decided to give Bushmills a try because it was forbidden and it was just as good as Jameson. I always enjoyed Irish Whiskey because all my relatives are from Ireland and Scotland but just recently I tried some Basil Haydens and loved it.

I'm now a Kentucky convert but will stay away from Makers Mark. Thats bullshit.

[MuddyWaterWarlock]

I don't drink alcohol, so I really don't give a crap.

[aunt betty]

Makers lowered their proof by 6? Dang, that's goofy. Like a dozen eggs suddenly being 11 from now on.

I got a bottle of the new Maple Crown for Christmas. It's tasty.
Then I looked at the proof. It's 80?
How can they sell a product as whiskey when it's not?
I guess somewhere in the fine print it says it's not or something.

The price on a bottle of 100 proof is the same as the 80?
Is the TAX the same? I thought they were just taxing the alcohol.

I'm not really that into calculating the price per ounce of pure grain spirits but I know some people are. They drink ICE HOUSE because it's the cheapest buzz on the $/oz. of alcohol scale. (or was)

Will probably buy some more of that Maple Crown because we both like it.

[FlintRiverFowler]

Just get you some knob creek single barrel reserve. It's 120 proof.

You guys that say just buy a higher proof are really missing the point. It's not about the actual proof, it's the fact they are adulterating my favorite whisky for completely stupid reasons.

[assateague]

Exactly. You all talk like Cam's an alcoholi.....

You'll throw a fit here, but you know what? You are going to take it, and still buy it, and still drink it. You know how I know this? Because we are all a glutton for punishment. Every one of us. Why is that? Because we are duck hunters. If you say otherwise, then you are also a lier.

I like Buffalo Trace if im at a bar that has it. here at home ive got ol whiskey river and bulleit, both very good. Woodford is good as well as knob creek.
We get bourbon barrels for aging beer at work, usually they have a splash left in them. I tell you what bobby, you wanna grow hair on your chest you should drink some that that stuff, hooey!

Jim beam Devils Cut is made from that actually.

[FlintRiverFowler]

That is pretty whack that they're watering it down to sell more.
