Makers. The most well known wheater bourbon, because marketing, but it is outdone in quality and price by the Wellers line. So leave Makers to the masses leaving more Weller on the shelf for the rest of us.
Enjoyed neat in a Glencairn. Nose is the typical sweet for a wheater but not as delicious as Weller SR. Some vanilla caramel and light fruit, maybe suggests strawberries. Palate is also sweet but not overly so. Finish has some lingering fruity sweetness and fades into light barrel wood. Not a ton of complexity here but not bad by any means. Makers is good bourbon, but overpriced because of it's brand recognition. I prefer Weller or even Larceny by far for a wheater. Superior in every way, while being cheaper.
