I am enjoying my new found faith...

If you gonna drink Maker's Mark then why not make an Old Fashioned?
A dab of sugar syrup or a teaspoon of sugar, coupla drops of Angostura, pour a little Maker's Mark, add a few ice cubes and stir for a few minutes, add some more ice cubes and Maker's Mark, stir some more, add some orange peel, enjoy!

I do like my Scotch also. Laphroaig is my favorite at the moment, keen to try out Ardbeg. The smokier the better.
A damn shame it's so expensive.
