Heads Up!
Remember the "Traitor Jack" backlash when Jack Daniels
lowered the alcohol content of their whiskey a few years ago?

Well, get ready for the "Makers Mock" campaign!

I got an email today from Makers Mark stating that they are
reducing the alcohol percentage from 45% to 42%. I don't
know about you, but I don't put water in my whiskey, and I
will not support a distiller who does it.

As soon as I see 90 proof Makers Mark replaced with 84 proof
stuff, I will begin my boycott. Too many quality bourbons out
there to pay the same price for a watered-down version.

Anyone with me?
