Maker’s is introducing a new bourbon … which I got to try last month. I had a taste-testing party, and the participants were split on whether they liked it better than the original. Look for it on store shelves near you … and it’s also featured in the June Playboy … yes, I was READING the stories.

They call it “liquid gold” and explain: “Maker’s 46 has a slightly higher proof, a slightly higher price, and a hint more smoke that marries nicely with Maker’s signature sweetness.”
