BOTL UPCOMING MAINTENANCE
Hi Everyone, as mentioned in my introduction post, BOTL needs quite a bit of updating, patching and whatever else I might come across. Over the next few weekends BOTL may be unreachable on occasion as I do migrations or updates, etc. Just be patient - we'll be back! I'll generally try to keep these maintenances until later in the evenings.

I can not speak to the 46 but I love most any cigar with plain Makers.
Not working for me either..wtf
The only place in MA that has it is Foxsborough. And its at Bar Louie. So that means you'll only be able to order a glass, not buy a bottle. But look at the bright side, Bar Louie has good food!

Yeah, I was told by my sister who is a Makers faithful, she also belongs to some Makers club, that this was a trial run. They only shipped out some 20,000 or something cases. It was the only production they were doing this year and said if it sold well and got a good response they'd make it a staple starting next year. Who knows. She could be wrong. I know at the liquor store I bought it at they were told something similar and haven't been able to keep it on the shelf. Maybe its because my fat ass bought like 9 bottles at one time..

I just picked up my 2nd bottle. $33 here is So Cal. The store still had 2 cases left.
Finally gave the Makers 46 a go this past weekend. I was at our lake cabin on a hunting trip in a dry county and this was the only bourbon in the house so I had several days to really give it a good go.
In short I wasn't really impressed. I found the flavor to just be makers with some vanilla after taste and the one thing I really took away from it every night was very bad heartburn. Thought it was just me, but one night a buddy had two glasses and the next day he was complaining of the same thing. I'm a bourbon guy and have drank tons of different bourbons, but this is the first time I can ever recall this happening to me.
In the future if someone offers me a glass I won't turn it down, but I won't be rushing out to pick up a bottle either.

Only 2 1/2 more weeks until my contest diet is over and I can sit outside, sip a glass of Makers 46 and enjoy a cigar. The best part about it...my bday is 2 days after my contest. I'm thinkin about going and picking up a few OpusX to celebrate the end of hell (my contest diet) and my bday. I haven't even tried the Makers 46 yet so hopefully it goes well with an Opus. Any suggestions on cigars that go well with Bourbon?

I am a bourbon drinker too and I am not so sure I disagree with you. It is OK, but not worth a premium and certainly not as good as say Woodford or even Buffalo Trace. In fact, I think the regular MM is still a better value
