Todd Fruehauf. Keith 5 stars because the bourbon is great, but at its legitimate $35 price for this bottle. What a rip-off.
Michael R. Chastain Many years back I bought a bottle out of an open case sitting on the floor. Price was attractive enough to spring for a taste test. Over ice this was one of the best tasting bourbons I had ever drank. Dropped by again in a week or so and none was available. Apparently other customers discovered the same thing I did. These days I enjoy a sip or two of Makers Mark.
Kasper Firstly, this bourbon is excellent for the (retail) price, it's almost as good as the now impossible-to-find 12 yr. It's 5 stars. However...SHAME ON YOU DRIZLY FOR YOUR COMPLICTY IN VENDOR PRIOCE-GOUGING! I can find this in stores in different parts of the country fairly regularly for $45 for the 1.75ml but there's a local store in Denver upcharging the 750ml to $200!!! What?? I will forever boycott Pecos Wine & Spirits in Denver, CO for much larger & better store that actually has the decency to only charge fair retail (Molly's, Total Wine..heck I've even found it at CostCo!). I will also no longer be paying Drizly to deliver when I'm feeling lazy, hope your drivers that depend on this service understand.

FAQs
Bourbon is a corn-based, aged spirit that, while legally can be produced anywhere in the U.S., is Kentucky’s signature liquor; in fact, Kentucky distilleries make 95% of the world’s bourbon and the Bluegrass State hosts over a million visitors annually for bourbon tasting tourism.
Because of the liquor’s aging process variation, bourbon’s colors range from light amber to dark caramel and each bottle must contain at least 40% ABV. Bourbon can only be called bourbon if it’s aged in an oak barrel; barrels must be new and are pre-charred to help the liquid extract as much flavor as possible from the wood.

Much like how a square is a rectangle, but a rectangle is not a square, bourbon is a whiskey — but because of the stricter standards set for bourbon distillers, most whiskies are not considered bourbons.
While both whiskey and bourbon are made from the same base ingredients (a predominantly corn mash, yeast and water), a spirit can only be called bourbon if it’s crafted in the United States, surpasses a minimum 40% ABV and is aged in new, charred, white oak barrels. Bourbons are generally on the younger side of the whiskey family (compared to older whiskies like scotch) and thus deliver a sweeter profile.

Bourbon’s ingredient list is short and sweet (literally): corn, other grains, water and yeast. Barley, wheat and rye grains are often featured in the mash composition alongside the liquor’s signature corn base, but even so, the FDA considers straight bourbon as a gluten-free product that is safe for those with Celiac Disease or for individuals who suffer from other forms of gluten intolerance.
Raise a glass to science: While rye, barley and wheat all contain the gluten protein, the actual gluten is removed during the bourbon’s distillation process, in which the gluten molecules are separated from the actual distillate used to make the final product.
