If I had to guess, each "batch" for a particular bottling I would imagine would involve over 1,000 barrels, but that is pure guessing.Jason Deblyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13305087714773608306noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8176940657289976265.post-85142306642734088682013-08-03T01:43:52.467-03:002013-08-03T01:43:52.467-03:00Hi There, Any chance you know how many Barrels are...Hi There, Any chance you know how many Barrels are blanding to make Makers Mark?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17470547437748538528noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8176940657289976265.post-90145882366705806552013-07-21T07:31:50.897-03:002013-07-21T07:31:50.897-03:00I guess for me it would be Jim Beam Black.

Technically I suppose the Jim Beam Black is better value at $18 as the savings is what? $3.00 but dude, buy one, when it is gone, buy the other. <br /><br />Jim Beam Black is one of those few rare gems where the price is way below the great product. Unfortunately, I cannot recommend other products being put out by Jim Beam like Red Stag Black Cherry.<br /><br />Thanks for commenting!Jason Deblyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13305087714773608306noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8176940657289976265.post-32427265352175394682012-09-27T02:14:30.186-03:002012-09-27T02:14:30.186-03:00Hey Jason, after reading ur review of JB Black, I ...Hey Jason, after reading ur review of JB Black, I got one, & it was awesome!

Wheated bourbons tend to be more mellow and less spicy than ryed bourbons. Of the wheated bourbons, I find pretty much anything put out by the Van Winkle distillery to be very good, with second place going to Old Weller offerings. Maker's Mark is not bad, but I think it is overpriced, and Old Weller is a much better bang for the buck.Jasonnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8176940657289976265.post-37990258695254616362010-11-24T20:08:19.722-04:002010-11-24T20:08:19.722-04:00In the United States I have seen Jim Beam Black fo...In the United States I have seen Jim Beam Black for $19 - $20 and Maker's Mark for $28.<br /><br />In Canada, the price disparity widens. Jim Beam Black goes for $28 and Maker's is priced at $40. Ouch!<br /><br />I like both bourbons for different reasons, but I think the Jim Beam Black is the better bang for your buck!Jason Deblyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13305087714773608306noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8176940657289976265.post-5563834585174235822010-11-24T15:47:58.771-04:002010-11-24T15:47:58.771-04:00howdy jason,

I got here by typing "...Hey Jason, nice blog! I got here by typing "Scotch Reviews" into Google. I was an long ago cheap Whisk(e)y drinker and as such I never loved the stuff. <br /><br />Recently I found that if I spend a couple more dollars I could find something I REALLY liked. It started with trying Jim Beam black rather than white (I agree with your assessment). But I was really sold on my second Swallow of Knob Creek. So I became a Bourbon man.<br /><br />I have since sampled a Rye from my home state (Templeton Rye) that I really liked. That left giving Scotch another try. And I think your site is going to be a big help! I figure your taste in Bourbon is so close to mine, that I might enjoy Scotchs you suggest.Nuke718noreply@blogger.com
