I had this at a company event at a bar that only had Glenlivet 12 and JW Red for scotch. I decided to try some American whiskies, and one of them was a pour of Maker’s Mark for $5. This was bad. I immediately got a Blanton’s afterwards to rid myself of the memory. Nothing on the nose, except a foreshadowing of how much it’s going to suck in the mouth. Harsh youth. Cinnamon and vanilla without purpose. Red liquorice, and did they already put Diet Coke in there without me asking? I gulped it and moved on. MARK: 39/100.
