Benchmark No. 8 Bourbon

Nose: Actually very pleasant At first I couldn’t identify, but in reading other’s tasting notes I came across one that said reminded him of his grandmother’s butterscotch candy jar. He nailed it. That’s exactly what you get - sweet, smooth, butterscotch candy. Palate: Flat. Not a whole lot there. Very faint black pepper and oak, but overall not a lot of taste. Surprisingly it coats the mouth well. Finish: Finish is actually pretty good considering lack of taste. Finishes with a sweet burn - a Kentucky hug I suppose. Overall, not great, but not bad. Will be on my shelf for friends who like to mix with a coke, but can’t see it being used for much else as long as I can remain employed. Very much worth $10 though.

Sweet. Good taste., falls off quick. Small bite, small hug

Way too underrated. Cannot beat it for the price, always keep a bottle on hand.
