Great info. Another big part of the the bourbon industry is who is doing the mash. There are really only 5-6 true distillers.

Yes and I would say Heaven Hill puts out some of the most affordable and drinkable Bourbon out there. There's a reason why a $50 McKenna SB is being scooped up and sold for $140-150 a bottle every time it hits the shelf.
