Was getting into bourbon and taking a break from cognac. Found myself getting into a bottle of Maker's I had left sit on my bar for a while after receiving it as a gift and kind of letting it hang out.
A little splash and it was enjoyable, smooth, but just kind of lacked a little something to make it 'great'.
What's in the region of Makers, but better? I tend to like sweeter that can be drank neat and/or with just a splash. One thing to note is that I really enjoyed how smooth Makers was; I absoutely HATE alcohol aftertaste.
Had a few ideas, but haven't tried them. I'll be in Vegas this coming week to stock up, so looking for suggestions of what I may end up really liking.
Four Roses Single Barrel
Four Roses Small Batch
Woodford Reserve
Elijah Craig Small Batch
Buffalo Trace
Weller?
