February 11, 201313 yr After doing some looking I see that the Pappy Van Winkle is bottled at age 15' date=' 20 and 23 years. Does any one have preference? Is one more common than the other?[/quote'] The higher they get in age the less common and more expensive they get.
February 12, 201313 yr Maker's Mark to water down their bourbon: Maker?s Mark waters down its bourbon to meet rising demand ? Quartz I'm not fetching these "availability" issues they're speaking of in this one. You can find Maker's anywhere, and in a lot of situations in smaller liquor stores, it's the only "high-end" Bourbon ever available.

That's the case in Kentucky, especially the part of KY you live in. Many states across the country ran out of Maker's Mark before Christmas. Another reason it's good to be from the Bluegrass State!
February 12, 201313 yr That's the case in Kentucky, especially the part of KY you live in. Many states across the country ran out of Maker's Mark before Christmas. Another reason it's good to be from the Bluegrass State! I do get out of the Bourbon City fairly regularly. Maker's has always seemed to be universally available wherever I go. Maybe Maker's needs to make less available here, where people know that there are lots of other good Bourbons out there nowhere near as expensive as Maker's and its extensive marketing/advertising budget.
February 12, 201313 yr EVERY TIME I travel Maker's always seems to be the on "top-shelf" bourbon that's available.

I'll pass your suggestion along.
February 12, 201313 yr I had Benchmark last night. I thought it was OK, but I'm not replacing Very Old Barton as my favorite cheap bourbon.

February 18, 201313 yr Well they aren't going to be watering it down after all. They sent a retraction note to members of the ambassador club that they heard us and we no longer going to change the formula. Reminded me of the Coke fiasco years ago.
February 18, 201313 yr They sent a retraction note to members of the ambassador club that they heard us and we no longer going to change the formula. Reminded me of the Coke fiasco years ago. I thought the exact thing. Glad though they reacted faster than Coke did. I remember those days of seeing both old and new Coke on the shelves...... I was very happy to get the retraction email in my inbox yesterday.
February 18, 201313 yr Well they aren't going to be watering it down after all. Want to talk about collectors items? See if you can find some of the 84 proof that was put on some selves across the state! My wife (who works for Maker's) even had trouble finding a bottle.
