I've enjoyed this bottle. I think it slots nicely between Buffalo Trace, Knob Creek 9, and the Evan Williams Single Barrel. It's not really better than any of those, but it's different, and I appreciate that. Price is right. This is the one of the Benchmark line I'd be most likely to pick up again.
