Never mind Fat Alis. The garden has at least six months.
I don't yet know of Maker's 46. I have long believed Maker's Mark was best.
I'd like to know more about Maker's 46.
My father in law was a snob, especially about Scotch. In the 1995 era, I installed energy efficiency upgrades in walk in coolers. These sold like hotcakes in Massachusetts. Massachusetts has a law you can't own more than one liquor store. For every law, there are five intentional loopholes. In this family, every distant relative owned a liquor store. I kept meeting with the same person, town after town. Each time, he had a different name.
One day, I had become quite familiar with this man who's name kept changing. I asked his professional advice about a very good Scotch. He gave a brief lesson. I don't even now remember the Scotch I bought for my father in law's birthday, I had been married to his daughter 15 years at the time. Briefly thereafter, he knew my first name. By the time the bottle was empty, he again forgot my name.
