There is also silver label which is my fav at 100 proof but can only be purchased in duty free shopping so i stock up when traveling and also have friends/family bring back when traveling. Then theres the barrelproofs, they’re around 130proof and special.

As for Sinatra, its got a unique hint of vanilla which is nice, though yes its pricey. Its best enjoyed neat like a cordial.
Also, gold label No.27 is great too, its more pricy than single barrel but less than Sinatra, also great neat as a cordial.
Did you do a tasting before purchase? I'm with Hawkeye in that it's hard to buy a bottle (Sinatra) at that price with no idea what I'm getting. 7 is my normal go-to for Jack/diet, but I was not impressed with Single Barrel, even at 94.
ONCE, before a movie when BILIL and I were both having a bit of a cough, we stopped into the local bar outside the theatre and grabbed a shot of that Honey thing. O M G, I left it on the bar and coughed my way thru the movie.
