    Both excellent Bourbons for the money, I’d always sway towards the 46.
    The Cask Strength is exceptional 👌🏼🥃

      I had the opportunity to pick up the Cask Strength a month ago and I opted to go for something else - I really shouldn't have! The 46 is certainly more refined, that's for sure. Cheers!

    Both good whisky’s but the 46 for me is fantastic, like you said just like a dessert, one of my favourites.

      It is very very good indeed! Just something about that bottle and the fact it’s a higher proof had me expecting an amped-up version of the regular and it’s just so different. Not a bad thing though. Similar concept to Woodford and their Double Oaked I guess! Cheers!

      Ye, if anything I find the 46 really smooth and the normal version a bit more spikey, but it’s that smoothness that makes it so pleasant and approachable, and such an easy sipper, it’s strength to me is you don’t have to think too much about it, just sit back and enjoy the ride!

    Having tried both, for me, the regular is my choice, and i always have a bottle of it in the house. As you say, all down to preference.

      Absolutely - I'm still very torn on it, depends how the mood takes me really. Starting to see this with a few different "finished" bourbons, where the premium product just feels softer rather than actually being a more premium offering. Cheers!

    I love the Maker’s Private Barrel 11:59 wood finishing series, some of which are truly exceptional. But the 46 cask strength is just outstanding and certainly worth picking up when you get the chance.
    New sub. Love the content - Cheers!

      Cheers! Welcome aboard! I think the Cask Strength 46 would just turn the dial up enough to make it properly interesting, I’ll keep an eye out for some of the Private Barrel series too - cheers!

    Regular Makers is only 40% in Australia. So for A$12 extra, 46 is my go to.

      That's fair! It's certainly worth more, but I see it as something different, rather than a better version - if that makes sense. Cheers!

    Maker's Mark 46 hands down!! I don't drink a lot of Maker's Mark but it's not bad. Thanks for the video! I do like this Bourbon! At the end of the day I usually reach for a good peated scotch! Yesterday's new bottle was my Lagavulin love - Lagavulin 16!! For Bourbon this is a nice pour!! Cheers! 🙂

    • @TheCrumbyBeard
      @TheCrumbyBeard  5 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Ooof, I bet that Lagavulin 16 is a beauty! I've not had the pleasure but would love to try it - despite my slight aversion to heavily-peated drams. Cheers!

    • @christinecamley

      @@TheCrumbyBeard It's interesting! I never get a sense of Lag 16 as being overwhelmingly peated but I know every experience matters. Our palettes all vary. I think it's a very welcoming peat and it opened me up to a love of peated scotch but that actually surprised me! I didn't expect to enjoy it. Lagavulin 16 was so wonderful that I started trying other peated scotch and I fell in love! I know it's not for everyone! I hope you can try Lag 16! It would be great to know what you think! Thanks for the awesome reply! Have a great week!

    Haven't tried any maker marks yet. I heard it's really sweet, that's what's keeping me away

    • @TheCrumbyBeard
      @TheCrumbyBeard  5 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      A lot of the notes are definitely on the sweeter side, I don’t think it’s necessarily sweeter than many others but it lacks some of the more savoury or earthy notes of others so feels sweeter by comparison.

      @@TheCrumbyBeard thanks for replying back. I might get a regular one, 46 was 50€ but I don't see it in my market.

      I'd suggest rye's, or other known non-wheat bourbons. Rittenhouse rye is a great mid spice rounded pour. Or michters straight rye for more spice and mouthfeel.
