Benchmark Top Floor Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey
86 proof NAS Bourbon Buffalo Trace Frankfort, KY $16.99
Nose

Crisp green apple and corn sweetness with oak emerging; less youthful than the entry-level expression.

Palate

More body than the Old No. 8; mild sweetness on the mid-palate with fruit notes and a slight bite of corn.

Finish

Pleasant but very short; hints of a hug with a drying sensation.

Average
A modest step up that leans toward easy-drinking and refreshing, suited for newer bourbon drinkers seeking light fruit notes.
