This is an impressive release from Heaven Hill at this price point. First off the proof is right on for an easy sipping and inexpensive wheated bourbon. Theyve left the flavor here without compromising drinkability. Because of the price, the natural comparison is against Makers Mark, but to me this compares closer in flavor profile with Makers 46. The healthy doses of cinnamon and wood spice have made for a much more interesting sip than the standard Makers.
