This is the simultaneously best and worst thing about doings blinds: the truth hurts
Wheaters are my fav.
I would never pick Larceny over Maker’s!
I you want a hedge of blackberry you can do it... but you'll never undo it.
That reveal. 😂 We got equally surprised by regular old Maker’s recently as well. And regular old Maker’s just beat Buffalo Kosher Wheat in a blind for Curiosity Public too. Turns out it’s pretty okay bourbon.
It's the speed rail bourbon where I work and it's damn fantastic. I love wheated bourbon, coming from a scotch guy
the "ohhh noooo" from Sean and the dead eyes from Dan at 13:24 finding out Makers came in first place was hilarious
I am an Ambassador for Makers, it's been my daily for 25 years. I always go back to Makers, the 101 is tasty along with any cask strength! So glad Dan was floored!
I'm with you. I drank JD for years until it dropped from 86 to 80 proof. Moved to Makers. Now I switch back and forth between it and 1792.
I'm an Ambassador as well. I fell in love with Makers after having the 46. Then branched out from there.
Maker's is under rated because it's so available. 46 is one of my favorite American whiskey's.
People hate on makers mark but not gonna lie, that's the stuff that made me like whiskey
Maker’s was my first experience with whiskey other than Jim Beam Vanilla and I knew instantly that I had found a category that I could explore.
Now I'm going to have to go out and get a bottle of Maker's Mark just to smell the Red Jell-O 😂
Finally Makers getting some respect on its name.
Everyone hates Makers until they blind it. Not sure why it draws so much hate. Hard to beat that flavor at 90 proof
I have not drank any Maker’s Mark in years. I picked up the MM BEP and really liked it. Then I found and picked up 2 bottles of MM 46 Cask Strength at a Costco. 46 Cask Strength is very good. Changed my thinking of MM now. 🥃
I had a bad opinion of it for years. Might have been because of its high markup at many mid-tier restaurants. Then I got some at a cold football game and was amazed how nice it was. Figured it was just due to the cold, so I tried it again - nope I actually just like it. Then I tried the special stave releases....and I'm sold. Not one of my TOP bottles but I've completely turned around on MM in general.
I just picked up a Weller SR for the first time yesterday (so timely video), and I definitely got similar fruity notes on the nose. Not my favorite palate in the world, but the nose was awesome
almost got me with the larceny bottle shape fact but then I realized it's obviously deliberately shaped like a keyhole
Would love to see Redwood Empire make a wheater and stomp all over these bottles...
I started my bourbon journey with Maker's so I'm glad it won.
First off - Sean: “we don’t drink it” is patently false and yet further evidence in support of Team Dan.
Second off - you’re supposed to take a knee and empty the bottle… did Icing never make it to Michigan?!?!?
Makers 101 at $40 is just good. I'm not a huge Makers fan, but I always have a bottle of 101 and sometimes a store pick. I pour it for friends and they always love it. Love your blinds. Hilarious as always.
Dan join the Makers Dark side. I like 1792 SB better but Makers is solid whiskey. Glad you agree
Sometimes, it just hits the pallet differently at different times. I've had bottles where I go back and forth on them from day to day.
I blinded larceny a few years ago, it was dead last. Don't even remember what won, just remember how bad larceny was lol.
Got a bottle of Weller's at Costco for $21. Never buy again. It was so weak and no flavor at all. Makers is way better. Not even the same category. For me.
"But, but, but, it's Pappy Jr Jr Jr" said the 🥔
I have had a number of Weller’s. Never found any worth buying again.
Green River is at Costco right now for $33 in the Chicago area
Makers 101 at a local liquor store in Milwaukee is $30 and $34 at Total Wine
Texan here, Weller SR isn't hard to find, but we're not overflowing with it either. Also, we can't buy liquor at the grocery store because freedom or something.
Don't sweat it. All grocery stores have RIDICULOUSLY high prices on alcohol
Bardstown Origins Wheat blows them all away
Don’t you WANT the cheap always available bottles to win? i know I do!
I see these are all bourbons, but I’d be curious where Woodford’s wheat whiskey (four grain) would land here.
I love this channel, but the only thing that makes me scream "What the actual eff are you talking about?" is when y'all fawn over SR.
It's a great profile!
I also don't understand the SR love. It's wildly unimpressive. I am _SOOO_ happy to have been offered pours before considering buying it. YMMV, but... no thanks.
Makers, at least the few bottles I’ve tried, always has the same harshness that stands out. Hard to explain. Not a winner in any category for me, do like their other offerings though. WSR is weak but enjoyable at least.
Do you guys drink a little water between the samples?
When larceny was $17 it got me really liking whiskey. Now for $26 it is hard to buy. I have a pick and a barrel proof which are much better
The best available wheated bourbon is Rebel 100
Got Green River for 29.99…saying it’s $50 is nuts
Makers always delivers, I always thought the brand name became too well known and people dislike it for the underdog effect. The 46, 101, and Cask strength, they are all so damn good!
Same thing will happen to Buffalo trace eventually.
Don't feel bad guys. We also put Maker't in first and thought we didn'l like it. Although we put Larceny in second.
lingerie and linger
No rebel 100?
Green River $34.99 in OH-IO.
I drink a shitload of makers. I like it. Makers 46 is really good!
love when you give old bottles a new review.
Green River Wheated is $29.99 at Costco in Indy right now. Solid deal.
I want to see Matt Porter do this blind.
Gabby has to come to more of these, there's a little more pep in Sean's step. Haha! Great stuff gentlemen!
I would also recommend Rebel 100, if price is really a consideration.
Hell, I'd still recommend it if prices were equal.
totally agree on regular larceny. However, I think the Larceny Barrel Proof is very good.
Everyone loves to hate on makers. But it’s beat everything I’ve put against it in a blind. It’s one of my favorites.
Amen to that, they hate on it because it’s popular. It’s basically just a bunch of hipster bourbon snobs that bash it. Makers mark always seems to win in blind testing lol.
Nice to see you guys coming around! Whenever I say MM is better than Weller SR, people tell me I am crazy!
In the way of Bourbon Junkies blinds…Maker’s Mark = 1792 Small Batch. We talk crap about them and they just win blinds left and right.
Larceny...hands down.
Love MM, it was my entry into non Jack or Jim whiskey. For a few bucks more 46 is a fantastic summer easy drinker
“Enlarged”. Oh, Sean.
Btw, blackberry bushes- dear love them. The berries come and so do the birds. Beware.
I stumbled across this older video doing a YT search for Wheated Bourbon, which is what I prefer. I just picked up that Green River for $35 (and a free 4-pack of Fever Tree mixer with purchase), I'm about to go sample it now. Also picked up a bottle of Quarter Horse Wheated for $27 and going to crack that one open too. Wheated Bourbons are harder to find for me locally except Maker's Mark.
Nothing better than contradictory results from previous conclusions...........except that Larceny stuff
MM Cask Strength and MM 46 Cask Strength and MM 101 are solid. Biggest problem is that you can't have an explosion in craft whiskey if you give MM and the other big distilleries too much love.
Larceny BP C922 won Whiskey of the Year in 2022. How can Larceny 92PF be that bad ? It's reasonably priced compared to BT Weller Reserve to which I bought once in the last 4 years. I passed on one a couple of weeks ago because store would only allow 1 Allocated Per Customer ! I grabbed the Eagle Rare. Anyways found a Larceny B522 last week on a shelf but was going to pick up the 92 PF which was On Sale. Did the guys report prices on this blind ?
I'd love to see a wheated blind with:
Bardstown Origin BIB
Holladay Wheat BIB
Wilderness Trail BIB
Southern Star Paragon BIB
Rebel 100
Throw Maker's 101 in for shits and giggles.
I just picked up a Makers 750ml for $19.99 at a local grocery store. Good stuff!
Maker's Mark 101 is the true flagship Maker's
Yay it’s Jordans Bottle!
Just found a 100% WHEAT FREY RANCH here in Nevada. I've got a good feeling about this.
Comments+1
I’m a tad partial to the weller line and I buy it anytime I can find it. I bought Larceny and found it to be absolute trash but I know a bunch of people that love it.
I will never understand it. I am a complete novice, but if you gave me 100 bourbons, I could pick Maker's out. It's the most distinctive and worst.
I’m only halfway through the video but I see where it’s heading. The moment at 6:16 was totally foreshadowing.
Larceny and Maker's Cask Strength blend is delicious
No there is no Weller in Ohio I hunted from Harrison OH all the up to Columbus OH and not one of the 40ish Stores even Krogers did not have any not even SR. Lies!!!!
We like to think we’re fancy and that we outgrow Makers. The fact is, it’s a well made product. Sometimes we just need to get over ourselves.
People love to shit on makers mark because it’s well known, it’s still one of my favorite bourbon’s
I believe this is true of many things, not just whiskey 🥃. People can be label bias, which can then influence the tasting experience.
There are people who like Makers Mark, and then there are people who say they dont like Makers Mark.....
But they really like Makers Mark....
EVerything except thee Weller; that's my dry bar shelf there.
I finally feel so justified. I've watched so many of your videos with no love for Makers.
I agree with that. WSR, Larceny and greenriver are too youthful
it is so hip not to like Makers Mark. I am not hip, I like what I like, not what you tell me I should like, Have a nice Day.
I’ll take any of them over Weller SR. Paint thinner with a hint of vanilla.
People hate on makers because the bottle doeant impress your friends but its great bourbon
I must be one of the few that thinks 'basic' Maker's is overrated and bland. It's ok but there are a lot more out there for the same price point and better. The MM 101 is a bit better.
The only reason i dont have a bottle of makers currenty is because the gf keeps taking them back to her place lol always a good choice
Makers and Larceny are the Ricky Bobby of bourbon.
Green river is 35 bucks and its everywhere in south Carolina
I wanna know what y’all were talking about before the official intro. 😂
Regular larceny meh. Larceny barrel proof is great.
Middle West Straight Wheat Whiskey is better than all of these.
You went to the mall of america and didnt visit me? Shameful
Surprised you didn’t add the newish Bardstown wheater to this taste test
People keep crapping on MM and I don’t understand it.
Why does it say very special small batch on the Larceny
My in-laws have blackberry and raspberry plants. So good.
Makers FTW
I mean, get maker’s 46 at the price of green river.
Woodfords wheat? DONE!
Makers 46 is not bad. Just saying
Makers46 is hard to beat for the money
Larceny is just not good..lol
Wilderness trail bonded wheat
Funny how you guys get the one bottles you don’t like come in first lol😂
Just Dan this time, I like maker's
Just opened my first Gunnar's wheated and oh wow. Really nice. Nice and different. I have the Green River wheated too. Just haven't opened it yet. Appreciate all the good info. You guys make it fun.
Makers 46 better yet. Just picked up 3 cask strength. My opinion, it's a must have.
It's wild how different MM cask strength is from their standard juice. It's almost as if it isn't just proofed down! CS is _solid._
So everyone at work watching this instead of working just got told to buy a Makers 101 otw home today. Idk what has gotten into me lately but my bourbon buying has quadrupled the past 2 months. Talking 2 bottles a week lately. I. Must. Stop. Crazy thing is, I haven't even finished a single bottle since November so I have a ton (40-50) of mostly empties on the shelf.
