Personally, I still love the Maker and don't think that the difference between 84 proof and 90 proof is that big a deal. However, I love saving money. My new favorite is the Evan Williams vintage, the 2002 is great, and I'm a sucker for a wax seal. Although it's tough for me to drink, knowing what i was doing in 2002, I'm in college now so you do the math.

They never dropped it FYI. Still my go to Bourbon but there are some great ones on that list. Eagle Rare, Four Roses and Elijah Craig are awesome

Four Roses is a nice whiskey - as is Evan Williams. Bulleit is a good rye whiskey. Another good one is Van Winkle 15 y/o. To me, Makers stands alone and is by far my favorite, followed by Jim Beam.

As much as I love whiskey, my next endeavor is going to be homebrewing this fall. Can't wait!

But the fall is so far away! :) Here's where I buy all my kits: http://www.midwestsupplies.com/
Also, Craigslist usually has great used equipment for a fraction of the price.

Did you jump all in and get a big setup, or did you start with a starter kit?

I just got this basic kit: http://www.midwestsupplies.com/brewing-basics-equipment-kit.html
It's worked really well. There's always stuff on Craigslist though.

FYI: Old Granddad was the whisky Brian and I nursed while hacking together the first prototype of Gentlemint.
Great find MrCowgirl.

Check up on Maker's, I don't think they are going to water anything down. In fact, I was impressed by their response to their fans. Anyway, I would paste a link but my internet is slow right now and I'm only on Gentlemint because I'm supposed to be studying...
