My brother-in-law loves bourbon. He is a good man. I want to get him some rare bourbon, some good stuff, for Christmas. He loves Maker's Mark, but I want to get him something he's probably never had before. Any pointers?

Pappy Van Winkle would be one that he might not have had. Black Maple Hill is another that might be easier to find. If you want to try something different and local, Sazerac sometimes has a limited edition rye whisky.

I do like giving Bookers.. It generally comes in a nice crate. Its generally 45-50 dollars.

He loves Maker's Mark,

1. How long has he been drinking it exclusively?
2. Does he drink any other type bourbon?

You might be making a mistake to buy another brand even if it's better because his taste may be set on MM.

I enjoy a good brandy, but a friend brought over some Basil Hayden's & It's a pretty good sippin' whiskey.

Bo or Shane? I appreciate the kind words.

Over Maker's since it's only 6 years old.

Still working on some Bulleit and Elijah Craig from last Christmas. Eagle Rare.

I've got a bottle of Blanton's you can have... trade you for a bottle of Chivas.
