Nose on this BiB is outstanding. Just classic bourbon notes with a touch of spice and a little fruit. No doubt the best budget BiB on the market. It blows the other BiBs away. If you can only buy one budget BiB … buy this one. Creamy texture and that vanilla really comes through like a vanilla frosting. The other BiB budget bottles are just nice to have if you want to do blinds or comps. This must be something n your shelf.
