The story was, the Cord family (yes, the Cord and Auburn motor vehicles) had invested in Star Hil in the late thirties/early forties and had a few cases stashed away of the product in Beverly Hills,California. The formats were pint bottles and the bottling date on what I sampled/drank was 1947. To this day, I've not sipped a finer bourbon-and I love Maker's 46. So, when I googled Star Hill and the White Dog product came up, I was a tad disappointed. The Maker's 46 closly resembles the '47 Star Hill I tasted and I wonder if the original Star Hill recipe contributed to the product we know today as Maker's Mark.JimmyDnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4015217478634912567.post-75457886573094906552011-10-13T21:57:38.498+01:002011-10-13T21:57:38.498+01:00Great read Matt.

In fact I imagine it would be better even. <br /><br />Maker's is beautifully made stuff, but it's it's a bit flat an one dimensional. Maker's 46 helps to elevate the spice character, and is a big improvement in my opinion, but wheated bourbon has this amazing transformation as it gets older. It goes from soft and round to far more complex at around 10-12 years. <br /><br />I would urge Maker's to release some older product. I am not an age snob by any means, but I would love to try it and bet it would be excellent.Jason Pylehttp://sourmashmanifesto.comnoreply@blogger.com
