Well I have been passing by this bottle at my liquor store quite a few times just thinking it was probably just like Dickel 12, but with a blue label and BIB. WELL I was very surprised to find out this is aged 13yrs. Rich and deep flavors with dominate older oak, this one tastes like it has the extra age. Nice medium mouthfeel and just very satisfying to sip neat. Of course this has the trademark vitamin taste, but I think it tastes less like Flintstones, and just a general vitamin taste here. I find this vitamin taste more in the background verses #12 and its fine with me. I bought this bottle for $40 and its well worth it.
