Ive got the newer 11 yr offering. Comparing to 12......You would think the extra aging would be mellowing but I find it much more vibrant and immediate. Sure the 100 pf adds some but its not like its cask strength. Familiar flavors dominate. Its powerhouse old time vanilla pudding skins with maple charcoal resonating alongside. I don't get as much of the flintstones vibe here. Its present just bathed in super rich vanilla and char. The barrel notes are stronger with the age but nowhere near bitter or dry. This is an intense version of the family recipe. Its sweet and a great value at $33 for 11yr statement......85/100.....Its damn good...butttt........ I think though, for me Ill take good ole #12 if I want to quench the thirst for Dickel

@jonwilkinson7309 I think those are single barrel selections? @Zachary-Robbins yes, there is a 15 single barrel coming out, but the next TTB label approved lists the next BIB as a Fall 2007 Distilling Season and is going to be age stated at 13 yrs. @PBMichiganWolverine isn't she, though?
@jonwilkinson7309 Don't know, they might be available in TN right now
@Zachary-Robbins. I'm looking forward to the 15. Have they announced a price point?
@PBMichiganWolverine The BiB is now an annual release, part of their additions to their core lineup from the newish master distiller. The other is a 15Y single barrel.
@Zachary-Robbins @BDanner there’s another 13 BiB release coming out? Yes! Nicole Austin—-you’re the best.
@Zachary-Robbins according to TTB website, the next release will go back to 13yrs.
@PBMichiganWolverine I thought the 11Y was slightly better than the 13Y. The 13Y was on the verge of too much age, still very good though.
Great review. I have got to find a bottle of this.
Have you tried their BiB 13? I’ve heard that one is one of the best bang for your buck bourbons
