Smooth and uncomplicated, and highly reminiscent of its fellow wheated bourbon, Maker's Mark. I just tried this at an event in Miami where Heaven Hill had a table offering samples of a few of their wares. The nose is all sweet maple syrup and a hint of that marker scent I often get from wheaters. The taste is light, sweet, with a slightly thin texture -- honey, vanilla, cream, and another hit of that slightly off marker note. The finish is mild and not particularly remarkable, although it has a little more bitterness than I like. For the price it's a strong contender, and would mix well into cocktails or drinks that don't call for a spicy bourbon. Not much to contemplate as a sipping whiskey, but also not much to dislike either.
