I had super low expectations for this one. Namely because I got it for $39 on clearance. A 13 yr BiB for $39 seems like a steal, when we think others charge multiples of it for the same age or slightly older.
Cloves. Oranges. Yeah…the fruity Flintstones vitamins are there. I don’t mind those, in fact I kinda like them. But I can see that might be a issue for others. It’s got some heat at 50%. I had to add water, but that’s just me. I felt without water, the heat was overtaking everything else. With water, I really got those clove studded oranges I love.
Ok so, let’s face it. This isn’t a life changing , deep contemplation Brora-esqe pour. But at $39, it wont break the bank either. This is a pour you can proudly take out with family and friends, as well as with bourbon snobs and bourbon newbies. It’s an all-rounder that is wallet friendly and with the right credentials on paper.

Nice review PB... I just got a bottle of this and agree while not life altering its value cannot be denied and with the escalating costs of well...everything , this is a beacon of hope with great flavor and by golly a 13 yr age statement
@Anthology yeah, I actually didn’t mind it at all, but maybe bc it’s less pronounced. Either way, probably one of the top 3 VFM whiskeys out there, especially at this $39 price tag
Nice review…right on the money! An all-rounder 4 sure. The Dickel flintstone vitamins is not as pronounced in this one but still there if you look for it…and may be an acquired taste for some)
