Makers Mark

Ok, bourbon is like cigars... what works for one, will not work for another. But, my .02:

Makers is an excellant bourbon, a bit of bite on teh back end but smooth up fron and great flavors.

A better beginner bourbon might be Evan Williams Single Barrell - It's 10 years old, nice smokey up front taste and a slight peppery finish. Much less bite than the Makers.

As what to mix.... I don't mix good liquor. If a bourbon needs mixing, well, you might need to re-evaluate drinking it. Makers/Eavn on the rocks with a lime wedge and a robust cigar (Tat Havana VI, or other spicey cigar), no milds or they will be overwhelmed.
