These are two 90-proof-class Kentucky straight bourbons from different companies. Bulleit Bourbon’s US page prints 45% Alc/Vol and “especially high rye” without a TTB mash percentage. Maker’s Mark’s official bourbon page prints Proof 90. A 1.5-ounce pour of either flagship is 1.13 NIAAA drinks. This is not a 2022 winner.
Maker’s is a wheated bourbon on the brand story; wheat vs rye percentages are not printed as a TTB filing on these pages. Related: Maker’s vs 46, wheated bourbon, high-rye bourbon.
Same proof class, different grain story

| Grain copy | Especially high rye | Wheated mash (brand) |

A 750 mL 45% bottle is about 19 drinks. Four pours are about 4.5 drinks. Maker’s 46 and Cask Strength 46 are other SKUs. Pour math: whiskey drinks.
