I'm just a beer drinker, but want one of the above for a Christmas present for bro-in-law.

Which is better?

Maker's Mark is good.
Maker's 46 is gooder (smoother)

I suggest that you also look at Knob Creek Special Reserve (120°)
The vapors hit you in the face, but wow you after it opens up with a little water/ice.

MM 46 or KC Special are equally priced.
I will always buy the KC first

Buffalo Trace is a good bourbon as well. It's "wheated", like Maker's. But of the 2 you mentioned, def Maker's 46. It's very good, and seems special-er, as a gift.

I only drink beer and clear liquors.

Brown liquors are not good for you and get you drunk quicker.


What's in the box? C'mon, what's in the boooox?

Wish I could have put that on the greeting card!

I went with Bill Grant's advice. He's led me in the right direction quite a few times now.
And most didn't involve alcohol :-)

The darker the better!

Try Captain Morgan's Black, 97.6% and pours out like thick black coffee!

Yuck, Captain Morgan Black wasn't any good (they are trying to copy the success of The Kraken).
As for boubon I like Elijah Craig 12 yo.

Between Maker's Mark and Maker's Mark 46... I would choose Booker's Best or Wild Turkey Rare Breed.

On the other hand, if you do score some Bookers or some Rare Breed, by all means get your BIL some Makers Mark and keep the good stuff for yourself. cool
