![]() Would I pay double the price for this? Probably not, however, if you are like me and like high proof bourbon, you’re not going to find a better value for a 120+ proof bourbon in the $20-$30 range, period. As such, this is a more obtainable bourbon in the markets that you can find it in. Palate: Initially very sweet with cornbread notes, but cinnamon and generic baking spices rush to balance out the sip. While the Benchmark line has gained in popularity, it’s nowhere near as popular as other Buffalo Trace staples such as the Blanton’s line, Weller line, Eagle Rare, and the like. Guess: Benchmark Bonded Actually: Benchmark Top Floor No Color. In a sea of ever rising prices, Benchmark Full Proof is still affordable to all bourbon drinkers. Buffalo Trace really should be commended for this bourbon’s price. This is helped by the fact that it’s one of the only 120+ proof bourbons by a major Kentucky distillery in its price range. Add in the fact that this is 125 proof, and it’s arguably, dollar for dollar, one of the best high proof bourbons for under $30. Amazingly, this value-based bourbon does a remarkably good job of delivering an overall above average pour for less than $25. There’s no denying that Benchmark Full Proof Bourbon can’t compete with the likes of Weller Full Proof when it comes to the overall sip delivered. That’s not necessarily a bad thing, more of a realization that this bottle does have an upper limit, and it’s already bumping against it. It’s well-composed and displays classic bourbon notes, but lacks the necessary components to make it stand out and take it to the next level. ![]() Ultimately, Benchmark delivers a sip that, while above average, has a hard time differentiating itself from other high proof bourbons out there. This includes Knob Creek Single Barrel, Booker’s, Elijah Craig Barrel Proof, and numerous other brands that fit this definition. While full proof aren’t quite barrel proof bourbons, they certainly compete in the same category as other high proof and barrel proof bourbons available in the market. Sazerac, who owns Buffalo Trace, also owns Barton 1792 Distillery, which produces 1792 Full Proof that follows the same premise. The bottle states that the bourbon is aged. What’s interesting is that there is more oak presence than I would have expected. ![]() The flavors are far from complex, but they are fairly classic, if a bit on the sweet side. The brand also produces Weller Full Proof, which while bottled at 114 proof, is also bottled at the same proof that it enters the barrel at. Benchmark Bonded bourbon is a very easy to drink enjoyable bourbon, and is a nice addition to the value Bottled in Bond family.
