The only correct choice between Four Roses SiB and SBS is yes

Just picked up my second SiB since I first got into bourbon back in 2025. Four Roses SiB was the bottle that started it all for me, and after reaching a point where I know what I like and no longer feel the need to try new bottles (to a degree) I felt that re-buying my first bottle to see I still felt the same about it would be fun. I’m also attempting to get a final list of the bottles I’d like to keep in my rotation permanently while depleting the ones that will not be replaced so I can clear some shelf space. That being said, I know for a fact I want something Four Roses on my shelf, but felt that SiB and SBS are too close together to have both. Tried them back to back to make a final decision on which would be a permanent resident, and which would not be replaced. Well, I came to the conclusion that they are both damn good in their own way, and instead of coming away with a clear winner, I am thinking I may have to keep both as regulars. If trying to choose between the two, I have to conclude that there isn’t a wrong option. And if you can have both, you are doubly lucky.
