Myself either......JBB is a nice value bourbon that meets all my requirements as a decent sipper.
JD has only one redeeming quality...…..if you like how it went down it taste exactly the same coming up.Although the burnt charcoal flavor does enhance the stomach bile to some degree.
BTW almost all if not all bourbon is made with sour mash.Sour mash just means that the mash from a previous batch, which still has live yeast, is added to the current one to start the fermentation process. Using the sour mash from a previous batch helps with consistency and prevents bacteria growth that could taint the bourbon.
