Paul-

You're quite correct about that. As someone who takes his whiskey drinking quite seriously, that typo is rather embarrassing.

FYI, Jack Daniel's is a Tennessee whisky. They take quite a bit of pride in that.

Maker's Mark & Cider revisisted:

You should also add cloves to the Maker's Mark too -

Buy a bottle of Maker's Mark. Place about 10-15 cinnamon sticks and several tablespoons of peppercorns into the bottle. Add some bitters and let sit for about 15-30 days.

After sitting for the right amount of time, pour the Maker's Mark into 1-2 gallons of apple cider. Make sure you drain off the cinnamon sticks before placing into the cider.

Heat on low or simmer until nice and hot.

Pour into a travel coffee mug (for insulation) and enjoy it outside with your cigar.

Having the cinnamon, pepper and the bitters blend into the whiskey adds great taste. Yes – I know 15-30 days is a lot of time, but you can always start the mix in September/October in order to be ready for mixing with the cider in November.
