i have a whiskey question re. 'burn'

what makes a whiskey 'hotter' than another?

i have knob creek, makers mark, and basil hayden's whiskeys. i listed them in order of 'heat'. knob creek is 100 proof, but i don't think that explains why it has so much more bite than makers mark, nor why makers mark at 90 proof has so much more bite than basil hayden's.

any ideas?

plus, i think jim beam rye is pretty damn nice.... not quite as smooth as basil hayden's (also a rye), but pretty good.
