Benchmark Old No. 8 Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey
80 proof NAS Bourbon Buffalo Trace Frankfort, KY $10.99
Nose

Corn sweetness with a youthful character.

Palate

Limited sweetness upfront; mid-palate sizzle with a drying effect toward the back end.

Finish

Short-lived with noticeable bitterness on the backend.

Mediocre
A budget-friendly mixer with youth on the nose but lacking complexity and balance on the palate.
