Nose... A soft touch of tobacco and leather meets sweet marshmallows and apples.. Color... A very rich medium to dark copper.. Taste... Oats, heavy butter, apricots, bananas, vanilla ice cream, dessert undertones... Overall.... This BIB is remarkable. I have tasted Bourbon at prices which are much higher and unworthy of their cost. This BIB however is truly fantastic for the price. If it were priced at $45 to $55 people would purchase it if the liquor store were to carry it on a higher shelf. It's flavor is rich, textured, and gratifying. A fantastic bourbon at just about any price...
