What is this?

I recently got into bourbon. And by "got into," I mean I drank some and it blew my mind. If it had been a movie, the bourbon would have been a pretty girl running her hand through her hair in slo-mo while all other sounds and sights in the world were obfuscated by sparkly lights and love songs.

I am not a connoisseur. You will not read about "accents," "notes," or "noses." You will only read about bourbon. Cheap bourbon. Under $25 per 750ml. Some of these bottles, you will have to wait and hunt and clip coupons to get them that cheap, but it can be done.

#3 Maker's Mark

It's the bourbon I get when I'm out at a restaurant or bar, because it's usually the only one on this list they have.  This one is not as easy-drinking as #1 and #2, making it one of the few on this list I'd ever pour over rocks.  It really packs a punch, flavor-wise, but it's nice.  It still feels nice and syrupy in the mouth, and spreads that wonderful bourbon warmth.  It just has a little bit too much of an edge to it for me, keeping it out of the top two.
