2023 Ultimate Spirits Challenge

Benchmark Bourbon Whiskey (United States), 40% abv, $11.99, 750 ml

Very Good,
Strong Recommendation

Tasting Note:

Quite candy-like on the nose with milk-chocolate, sweet ginger, and sugared walnuts, this whiskey is quite dry on the attack, but expresses chocolate-coated nougat, cinnamon, and buttery pecan pie. The finish is long and persistent, ending on a sweet date note.
