"You can’t blame Kentucky distillery Maker’s Mark for wanting to pile on the superlatives in an ad for Maker’s 46, the company’s first new bourbon in more than half a century. 'Bigger, 'bolder,' 'spicier'—sure. But 'Maker’s-er'? Er … what’s up with that?"

I had a long conversation with the bartender at a whiskey place during which he discouraged me from ordering a glass of this stuff, explicating all the reasons why at least a half dozen similar varieties were the better choice. Unfortunately, I was several bourbons in at that point, so fuck if I remember a word of what he said.
Stupiderer.
COFFEE! FRIES! AND A CHEESEBURGER!
So it tastes more like maple syrup, good to know.
My flavored bourbon drink of choice is Red Stag and Dr Pepper. I call it a Cherry Popper.
@Pop Socket I like my Red Stag with Dawn. I call it a Red Dawn.
@keisertroll I'll be on the lookout for Red Stag in a few weeks. I call it the Hunt for Red October.
@Pop Socket Seriously, I really enjoy a whiskey sour with Diet Dr. Pepper. I have been drinking it for years.
@boyofdestiny I like to just drink Red Stag straight but with the bones of that hitchhiker I murdered last year. I call it the Red Skeleton.
@saythatscool Pour it in his cranium.
@boyofdestiny Link's dead, brow.
@saythatscool I like to get high and drink Red Stag. I call it 99 Luftballons.
(Did you see my response about Korematsu? It was rescinded by Gerald Ford!)
@SidAndFinancy I just read it. Holy shit! I did not know that. How weird.
Remember when "shockingly" was in fashion? That was awfuler.
Unless it's also cheaperer, I'll stick with the original.
