Preheat your oven to 300°F (149°C).
Combine rub ingredients: smoked paprika, chili powder, garlic powder, brown sugar, and salt.
Prepare ribs by rinsing and removing silver skin; cut into halves.
Apply the spice rub generously on both sides of the ribs and wrap them in aluminum foil.
Bake for approximately 2 hours until the meat is tender.
While baking, make the BBQ sauce by simmering bourbon (if using), ketchup, brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, onion powder, garlic powder, Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, and diced peaches for 15 minutes.
