Nose: Honey, vanilla, oak. Palate: Sweet, caramel, followed by corn, grain, and spice but with a good body compared to standard Benchmark. Finish: A creamy heat finish, showing off its proof but not in a bad way. 4 years does indeed do a lot for Benchmark, this value bourbon gets a step up from the others. Still a great sipper and if you need more proof- this is your go-to.
