These impress me so much and I was glad I picked this one up in December. Rich, full of flavor, the mouthfeel is rich and the heat is really well behaved. Classic bourbon flavors with some slight heat and fruit all turned up high. These JD SiB BP (more acronyms) are some of the best offerings in bourbon right now. I dare you to grab one and put it in a blind line up against your favorite barrel proof offerings, you might come away surprised.
