A friend of mine who is also an oncologist gave me a 1 litre bottle of Makers Mark that had two Vanilla beans in it.....it was 1995.....he had bottled it in 1985........I took that bottle and split it into two parts and added vanilla beans to both.......it is the best vanilla I have ever tasted.......I gave a 1/2pint that I had spit off several years earlier to some friends who proceeded to drink it instead of using it for cooking purposes........It seems most products have changed in taste and quality over the years.
