R1 bourbon?

Just to clarify - It is not called R1 but RI (with a long I - pronounced "rye")

I tasted it in my beverage survey class and it's a very good straightforward rye. Didn't stand out as something special, in my opinion, but wasn't bad at all. The Jim Beam reps admitted that a lot more of the price goes to the marketing of ri (nifty bottle, labeling, etc.) than their other bourbons.
