Legally, in order to not carry an age statement on the bottle, the youngest whiskey in this blend has to be at least four years old. It doesn't have a big number five or anything like that on it. ![]() Not that we like spending lots of money on whiskey, but, you can't really get much cheaper than an $18 bottle of whiskey.īob: So once again, this is a non-age stated bourbon, meaning that when you pick up the bottle, there's not an age on it. And if that's going to break the bank for you, then perhaps whiskey is not the world that you should be inhabiting. This is $18 in the state of Ohio, so we are jumping up $3 from our Top Floor. I mean, it was really good given the price point.īrad: Yeah, and I'll just give the price here. And then we tried this Top Floor last week and at $15, you can't really do any better. We tried the original Benchmark way back in season one, and for $10 we said, okay, you could do worse. Brad, I got to say, man, I'm really enjoying this so far. So we're moving our way along, moving up by proof point. And this one comes in at a bold 90 proof.īob: Yeah, four proof points higher than last week's Benchmark Top Floor. Now Bob, this is the second expression of this five-tiered Benchmark lineup we are investigating. The following review is taken from our episode " Mystic River / Benchmark Small Batch." Click the link to listen to this review in audio format.īrad: Alright everybody, today we are talking about Benchmark Small Batch.

So this bourbon could have been called “Entry Proof”, but it doesn’t have quite the same ring. More commonly, the proof at which a bourbon goes into a barrel is aptly called the “entry proof”. So, what about the definition? Full Proof refers to a bourbon that is bottled at the same proof that it went into the barrel. Then, in late 2020, Benchmark Full Proof joined the clan. First, there were 1792 Full Proof and Weller Full Proof bourbons. Buffalo Trace seems to have coined the phrase, or they are at least the ones that use it the most. So, what exactly is a “Full Proof” bourbon? Well, if you want the legal definition, you’re out of luck because there isn’t one. “Full Proof – This Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey is bottled at the same proof that it enters the barrel.” So what’s it like?
