As a Maker's Mark Ambassador, I receive emails from them quite often.  The latest one was kind of disturbing.  The old saying is "If it ain't broke, don't fix it", but it looks like they're ignoring that adage. They are cutting the proof of their whisky from 90 to 84, and the way that's done is by adding more water.  If I want more water in my whisky, I'll add it!  You can read the article about this below, and tell me what you think, ok?
