JTS Brown BIB (New to NC ABC's)
NOSE: A little heat at first. Then typical Heaven Hill Peanut, Vanilla, Oak, Clove. Maybe a hint of Cocoa.
NEAT: Mirrors the nose. Enters Sweet with Vanilla, Maple, Clove and Slightly Tannic Oak. The Roasted Peanut shows up on the Slightly Hot Finish with the Peanut and Vanilla coating and lingering on the palate. Nice KY Hug.
SPLASH: Not much change to the nose, but the Peanut note dominates the palate start to finish. Maybe just a hint of Bitterness on the Finish?
VERDICT: I went in search of MM101 (BINGO! Picked up two of those) and just happened to look down and see this one. Not widely distributed it is brand new here in NC. I didn't have any to try a Side by Side, but I assume this is very similar to EW White Label BIB. However, it's about $5 cheaper (it was $13.27 out the door). Maybe this gets some lower graded barrels in the mix? Either way, a solid one to keep around to pour in Coke/Ginger Ale, a Cheap Old Fashioned, or Neat in a pinch.

Found my "Pandemic Size" EW BIB hiding in the back of the cabinet. Tasted back to back, these are virtually identical.
@Zachary-Robbins definitely worth a flyer for $12 next time you need a value bottle.
I've been passing on this one, even though I keep seeing it in the new allocated item section. Maybe it's worth a try at that price to replace one of my cheap bottles.
