I haven't seen one of these Bulleit SiBs around since before the pandemic.  I only had one bottle but it was excellent.  And definitely 4R.  

 

These store pick SiBs never disappeared in my neck of the woods.  And agreed they are usually excellent for the price.

This is the first time I've ever seen one. I paid $69.00, which is the most that I've ever paid for Bulleit.  I've never been a big fan until I tried the BiB...which I believe is 100% their own distillate.   

This SiB is crazy good...I wish I had bought a couple.   The guy who owns the LS does, and takes part in, some phenomenal picks and is the only person I trust enough to buy without trying first. 

I met him through a mutual friend who hosted a whiskey tasting. A bunch of whiskey enthusiasts brought bottles for the tasting, and he guided us through it. It was fun and veryeducational. I was humbled by his knowledge and learned more in one night, then I could've in years on my own.  He's been around for years and has great relationships with a lot of distilleries which gets him access to some really great barrels. 

Technically,  I could try them at the store, which is only an hour away, but DC traffic & parking sucks. It's cheaper to overpay for shipping,  than the hassle of driving and paying for parking.
