Yep, Marker's Mark is great. I also like Basil Hayden, Baker's 107, Knob Creek, and Bulliet... Mead is fun to brew, especially since I have a friend who keeps bees, so I can get fresh-out-of-the hive honey simply for going with him and helping harvest it out of the hives... He is also a former New Mexican, so we also enjoy El Grande together...

You make Mead? I made "small, white mead" some years ago for New Year's Eve. It was very popular by a few, and it was only two weeks old and still bubbly and fermenting!
