Whiskipari

Apparently Makers Mark is releasing a limited edition whiskey that is blue with Calipari's face on it. Can't be right

Edit: Sorry started the thread after seeing it on SC and got my whiskeys mixed up. I do know the difference but just misheard the commentators. Jim Beam or Fleschmanns are my preference ;D

I've tried it.

Not bad. It borrows, some might say "steals," the best ingredients from other whiskeys, but for a bourbon, it leaves a highly prominent and rather unpleasant oily aftertaste.

Also, most of the people I know who have bought it have expressed deep regret for doing so after about a year or two.

What I do not understand is that he coaches in the land of bourbon and JW is a scotch. Huh?

EDIT: Okay, I clicked on the link and it isn't JW, it's Maker's. Which makes a ton more sense.

It's not Johnny Walker. It's Makers Mark. One is a blended whiskey made in Scotland and one is a bourbon made in Kentucky. I know you're young, but you still need to keep your whiskeys straight.

Well played, Boz. From what I hear, in a couple of years, ATF will also be erasing all records of the product's sales.

Then the Bronfmans pickit up?
