Benchmark by name, benchmark by nature. This really is one for the more well Bourbon producers to beat, and despite its status as an outsider, really warrants some attention - especially if cocktails are on the menu.
Aromatic and quite sweet. Soft toasty spices, salted caramel and vanilla pod earthiness.
A creamy spirit carrying custard, toffee apple and biscuity notes.
Cinnamon, chocolate digestives and tangerine.
tried a lot of flavered whisky the benchmark peach and brownsugar is the best ive have found for a good price
Typed that review like I'd had one too many, not so just very old fingers. My wanna be son in law left a part bottle of Beam when he left to go home back in KY, I've been alternating sips and Benchmark wins, no contest.
If you can find a better tastin' sippin' bourbon let mw know . Added bonus: uner10 bucks here in Ohio.
Saw this on the Buffalo Trace website, so decided to give it a try. Found it on the bottom shelf for $12.75 in Iowa. It is not a bottom shelf bourbon, but that doesn't bother me. It's my new go-to.
I had a 3 year long process, where I was going to pick the King of the low-mid priced Bourbons (less than Beam was my rule) and this was the winner. I think I paid $17 for a 1.75, although I have to go out of my small town to get it, worth the drive.
