    Old Forester is better than straight that Maker's Mark.
    Would Maker's be a better mix for the cocktail because of the lesser rye bill?

    Gotta admit, I'm not sure I've ever had Old Forester.

    My statement was purely based on Maker's being a "premium" brand.

    Maker's has more wheat, and Old Forester has more rye.
    I drink my bourbon neat and always prefer the rye bills over the wheat bills.
    I would imagine it makes a big difference when mixing cocktails, too.
    Rye bills are spicier. Wheat bills are milder and grassier.
