    Eh? I have yet to find a Canadian whiskey I like. For bourbon, makers mark is pretty okay. The rest of them are also subpar. Scotch is the best (for my tastes anyway)

      Really? Makers Mark? I’m not much of a bourbon drinker as I prefer pretty much any other type of whiskey, but there are cheaper options that are better than Makers and there are pricey options that are way better than Makers (Basil Hayden comes to mind while still being ubiquitous and reasonably priced).

      Hell, Evan Williams is at least as good as Makers (better, IMO) and it’s 25$ per handle.

      Edit: when I said “I’m not much of a bourbon drinker,” I guess that was a lie, as my cocktail of choice is an old fashioned with bourbon. I just meant, if I’m drinking liquor on ice or neat, I prefer Scotch, rye, Irish whiskey, Canadian whiskey, then bourbon. And an old fashioned is pretty good with any whiskey other than Scotch, imo.

        I’m also not really a bourbon drinker. Makers Mark is the best out of the small selection of bourbon I’ve actually tried.

          Fair enough. If you’re interested, either of those options I listed are a good place to start.

        Anyone who says Maker’s Mark is the best Bourbon is someone you don’t have to listen to about Bourbon. (I mean this in playful jest)

          Not a bourbon expert at all, makers mark is just the best out of what I’ve tried. I don’t go out of my way to sample bourbons

            Just teasing, everyone can like what they like :) but Maker’s is a mid/low shelf liquor. I also enjoy it, but there are higher quality ones available.
