Makers Mark is OK. For the money, I’d go with Buffalo Trace or Wild Turkey 101, if I am going bourbon.

Give Austen’s “Rare Breed” a try. Barrel proof but smooth and tatsty.

Can’t beat the Langavulin for the scotch. I can still remember the first time I ever sniffed it. OMG.

For the bourbon try Bulleit. It;s the best and I like it for Manhattans. Sipping can’t beat Buffalo Trace. The Woodford or Knob Creek is pretty good if you don’t have other choices.

In Bourbon, I find Jim Beam Black the best.
