Good sipping bourbon, nothing stands out dramatically but good basic expression. Better than lower tier Jims and always nice to come back to over time.

While an improvement upon the JB White Label, that's not a very high bar to clear. Pleasant and drinkable, but still better for mixing than for sipping.
