Benchmark No. 8 Bourbon

Nose: cherry and sweet, sweet grain. Palate: candy syrup sweetness. So sweet as to almost be off-putting were it not for a slight spiciness and alcohol burn. This bourbon tastes good, but not in the way a bourbon should taste good. It’s too simple and it brings very little to the table other thanks sweetness. Still, you won’t hate it.

Vanilla, honey and sugary sweet candy with a gentle sniff but you can also get the spices, lignins, tannins and a bit of like a dry jasmine or black tea. Very smooth flowing of sugary goodness into your palate and those extra bit of wood interaction against the new charred American Oak still remind at the bottom of the golden liquid so it's not overpowering the sugary bits. After you devour the liquid the American Oak attributes started to show up and you also get stuff like leather. Its a medium finish to short finish that you still get your sugary icing on top. This is a sweet bourbon that you and your friends can enjoy without whisky been the topic.
