ladies and gentleman, this bottle is an absolute winner when it comes to wheated bourbons. People like wheated bourbons because they are softer and don't have that rye spice to them. My small complaint about many wheated bourbons in the market is that they are too sweet for my taste, but of course that is just my opinion. When you look at the Weller Special reserve, it is less sweet and very slightly better than brands like Makers Mark. However, it is nothing more than a mediocre whiskey that people get really excited about. Mckenzie has so much more flavor and it definitely is on the less sweet side of the wheat bourbons. This comes in at 50% which i think is the perfect abv for this bottle. And the finish is quite long and it makes you want more. If this is in your area go and pick it up, the bottle is about $43.
