Definitely a gimmick to generate more money.
And I don't drink much, but I'm not really a fan of smoked whiskey. It's not like que. The smokeyness also imparts a lot of bitterness. I'll take some American charred barrels over smoked scotch malt any day. And yeah, Makers mark is definitely overrated, but the makers 46 is a pretty good improvement. Costco sells it for only a few bucks more than regular makers goes for.

I like the Octomores for the most part, though 4.2 wasn't as good as 4.1. I actually prefer Ardbeg Supernova, though.
My brother swears by Pappy Van Winkle, and, while it is just corn whiskey, the 15 year old is good, but it goes downhill as it gets older, in my opinion. The Van Winkle rye is better, I think, but I like rye over bourbon. I'm now at 32 scotch varieties at home, and hoping to keep growin. Master of Malt now ships to the US!

We know good bourbon in KY. While i like Makers you might want to try Russels Reserve by Wild Turkey 10 year aged. I think if I wanted to add a smoke flavor I would try smoking my KY limestone springwater and freezing it into small ice cubes and pour my bourbon over that. |

And the rye is also really good, but even harder to find than the 20 year.

Makers mark is pretty smokey by itself. I'd try a rawer project like Jack Daniels.

I am certainly no historian, but I believe whiskey was derived from Scotch Whiskey. If you are from Scotland or the area, it is just called Whiskey. And there is a vast variety of flavors available. Astonishing actually that they have so many makers of Whiskey available in such a small area. I would consider a trip to England just to tour the Whiskey makers....

like apples and other fruits as it comes out your tailpipe! Buddy of mine manufactures the stills but there's several places to get em. Just google moonshine stills. You'll find plenty of sources. Sent from my home rotary phone!
