Best Wheated Bourbon is?? Maker's Mark Heart Release vs Heaven Hill Grain to Glass

[@CiboloDave]

Awesome comparison. Looking for the HH as we speak.

[@WhiskeyBank]

Hey Dave! They seem to appearing often so hopefully you'll find one soon! Have a wonderful week and cheers ~

[@Sid-np3hf]

This man has got some pull, I’ve only seen a couple of these bottles in the wild.

[@WhiskeyBank]

I got no pull, just go hunting often 😆 but both are findable here in Southern California so that is good news for all of us. Have a wonderful weekend and cheers ~

[@algordon4070]

I have them both, enjoy them both. Have not tried them together! I will do that tomorrow!

[@WhiskeyBank]

Hey Al! Did you try them? If so, which one did you prefer? Have a wonderful week and cheers ~

[@N.M.T.K]

Appreciate your opinion🥃

[@WhiskeyBank]

Absolutely appreciate your comment and view! Have a wonderful week and cheers ~

[@Atr0nCr0ss]

Wow what perfect timing for this video, I was debating between these 2 bottles!

[@WhiskeyBank]

I read your mind 😆. You can't go wrong with either but if you want to try something unique, heaven hill G2G is it 😉. Have a fantastic weekend and cheers ~

[@OldFashionedWays]

love da comparison fun video. Keep it up. cheers

[@WhiskeyBank]

Hey Doc! Hope all is well and super appreciate your view and comment! Have a fantastic week and cheers ~

[@OldFashionedWays]

@@WhiskeyBank thanks. I like this. Make it a series.

[@WavyJ-tq8oh]

Great review, did a blind of the Heart, Grain to Glass Wheat, and Bardstown High Wheat. High wheat took the W, and the Heart came in at a close 2nd place. No losers among these bottles!

[@WhiskeyBank]

All three I'm sure are wonderful pours! I can see heaven hill Grain to glass not doing well in blinds due to is subtle flavors and lack of a "star" profile. But I get to try the Bardstown high wheat soon so I'll find out for myself 😆. Have a fantastic day and cheers ~

[@robertlee6781]

Ill go with option 3, Bardstown Origin High Wheat.

[@WhiskeyBank]

Hey Robert! I'll be getting that on Sunday so let's see if that's the right choice 😆. Have a wonderful weekend and cheers ~

[@dktopgun1571]

have that MM heart Release, but not the HH Wheated. I just submitted my name for Total Wine Fall Priority Access to Rare Whiskeys program. I guess I qualify to submit my name as a Grand Reserve member. Hope I get lucky. 🙂

[@WhiskeyBank]

Hello Mr. Kim! I submitted my picks as well for the lottery and let's hope both of us get lucky this October 😆. Have a wonderful Sunday and cheers~

[@WestCoastWhiskeyDude]

The MM The Heart is a banger!

[@WhiskeyBank]

It is a good one but just so similar to all their other good bottles 😆. But I'll absolutely enjoy this one for sure! Have a fantastic week and cheers ~

[@TheBloody81]

Great review David! I honestly enjoyed the MM and to it will be a one and done deal. HH Wheated was the one I was looking for but some were overpriced and couldn't do it. Great work David and have a fantastic weekend! Cheers! 🤙

[@WhiskeyBank]

Hey Jesus! Let's hope you find that Grain to Glass wheated soon~ 😆 Have a fantastic weekend and cheers ~

[@RJR2222]

Appreciate the comparison. At this stage I’m looking for the unusual pour. I have a bottle of the Heart. I really like it. Hope to get a pour of the HH2G wheater

[@WhiskeyBank]

If you're into unique pours, the heaven hill Grain to glass wheated is the way to go~ Have a wonderful weekend and cheers ~

[@danawollam1805]

Nice ! Almost makes me want to try another "Wheater" ... Almost. You make it sound absolutely delicious. But then the thought of the theater funk makes my brain say nope. Keep them coming ,,, you present well. Old jeep guy.

[@WhiskeyBank]

Hey Dana! You would absolutely hate both of these 🤣. Especially the heaven hill as it's wheat wheat bourbon 😉. Take care my friend and have a wonderful weekend ~

[@frankd.506]

I'm not a MM fan but I'm not a big wheat fan either I like a high rye, I do have a Makers 101 in my dungeon I was told I have to try we'll see.🥃 Good job as always.

[@WhiskeyBank]

Hey Frank! If you know what you like, you're winning this whiskey game 😆. Unfortunately, I like all bourbons that's not rum finished 🤣. Have a wonderful weekend and cheers ~

[@dneuens]

Actually saw you at the Stater Bros Weller 12 drop, but I was already standing in line. Hope you were able to score one, too!

[@WhiskeyBank]

Hey Dylan! I know, I couldn't talk to people as they had the one line and it was chaos. It seems I got there just in time before the real chaos happened 😆. Next time you see me, say hi! I hope you got one as well! Have a wonderful Sunday and cheers~

[@jameslenaburg4378]

Haven't see a lot of favorable HH GtG reviews. Picked up MM Heart release for under 70, passed on the HH GtG for over 100. Haven't cracked MM Heart yet. Thanks for review.

[@WhiskeyBank]

Hey James! I know and I had bad feelings going in but the uniqueness won me over! But I can see how the wheat bread and orange might turn some people off as it's not as sweet or "intense" as other bourbons. Have a wonderful week and cheers ~

[@eventyoursofspirits]

There’s quite a few that I don’t come across to experience, but when I do, I pick them up. The Heaven Hill new release sounds like something to add to my list to experience. Great review as always!

[@WhiskeyBank]

Both were delicious but the heaven hill Grain to glass was something unique and unexpected and in a bourbon world full of similar whiskeys (i.e. mgp sourced), it was refreshing to taste something so different yet awesome 👌. Have a wonderful weekend and cheers ~

[@DaveVogelsang-b8v]

Great thorough reviews David! I like them both, but I do not think the Heaven Hill Grain to Glass is worth $100. I bought a backup of the MM Heart Release. 🥃

[@WhiskeyBank]

Hey Dave! I can see it from your side 😉. The heaven hill Grain to glass does have more subtle notes even though it's higher in proof. Obviously there are other factors (barrel entry proof, secondary aging, etc.) But I was surprised by it. I'll definitely enjoy them both but will probably drink the heaven hill Grain to glass more as it's more unique and something I don't get from other bourbons 😆. Have a fantastic weekend and take care my friend!

[@dennisr5475]

I have the MM Heart and it is wonderful. I have not found the HH wheat yet sadly but when I do find it I am buying it for sure!

[@WhiskeyBank]

Hey Dennis! Don't get me wrong, I liked the Maker's Mark Heart release but that Grain to glass was so unique and unexpected. In a world where many bourbons taste similar, it was a nice change of pace~ Have a fantastic weekend and cheers ~

[@AMWhiskey-kl8qh]

Hate to disagree but I like the heart release better, although the wheated is the best of the HHG2G. Cheers!

[@WhiskeyBank]

All good~ that's the fun part about whiskey of that we have different palates and preferences! It would be no fun if we all liked the same thing 🤣 Have a wonderful week and cheers ~

[@24869wawa]

I am a MM fan but am super bummed about my heart release.

[@WhiskeyBank]

It's a good pour and something I'll enjoy but the chapter 1 of the wood finishing series seemed more unique and different... while this is mostly similar to what they already have. Maybe the second release will do the trick 😆. Have a wonderful weekend and cheers ~

[@Rocky-cx6qz]

I agree. Neither are remarkable but the heaven hill wheated is crushable and pretty different from the rest of their stuff. The heart release IMO falls flat to the BRTs and FAEs. Chocolatey and sweet but not complex and no finish.

[@WhiskeyBank]

I agree on the heart release not on par with the BRT or the FAEs. At least they made those slightly different and felt & tasted different. Heart not so much, still good, but nothing different. The Grain to Glass is different and good. I like it~ Have a wonderful weekend and cheers ~

[@scottm.5788]

It's a palate thing. I've tried both...neither one is a true winner. Sample first...or "one and done" for both of these.

[@WhiskeyBank]

Hey Scott! I can see that, especially with MM heart being so similar to existing bottles. But Heaven hill is an unique experience and I'm definitely buying a back up if I can find it at msrp 😆. Have a fantastic weekend and cheers ~

[@scottm.5788]

@@WhiskeyBank I'm going to revisit them both within the next 24 hours. I'll let you know if things have changed.

[@duckontherun932]

Its funny I bought both and traded them away. Still haven't tasted them, but you make the GTG sound so good. Now I am having some second thoughts.

[@WhiskeyBank]

I'm sure you got a bottle you wanted from the trade so it's a win win for everybody! If you do ever see it again at MSRP and the notes sound interesting to you, it might be worth a pick up. Have a wonderful Sunday and cheers~

[@TorupHodl]

ya but no one can find the wheated...

[@WhiskeyBank]

It seems it was more readily available here in Southern California for a bit but hard to find for sure. But that is true, I should have factored that in. Didn't think the heart release would be so available as well. Hopefully both will be findable very soon~ Have a wonderful weekend and cheers ~

[@umami0247]

MM all day!

[@WhiskeyBank]

Hey Scott! I can't blame you if you love the MM Heart release as it's a good one~ 😆 Have a wonderful Sunday and cheers~

[@pizzawarlord9232]

Nice review but the HH is nothing special and priced twice as high as it should be for what you get

[@WhiskeyBank]

Price is a little high but for how it was made, I can understand the higher price. I usually don't have organic items, but they have a premium due to how it was produced and most of the time, it tastes about the same. If the process they used is true (custom seeds, grown in local farms, custom mash bill, etc.), then I guess I'm paying for an "organic" whiskey in a sense 😆. I also enjoyed the experience, but I can see people not liking it as much as it doesn't have that one stand out note. And I also understand people not thinking it's worth the money, it is expensive for sure. Have a wonderful Sunday and cheers~

[@pizzawarlord9232]

@@WhiskeyBank looking at it in that light of organic i get a higher price. I guess just not as high as the priced it. They are a good to ok pour depending on which bottle
