Benchmark Old #8...........bought this on a bet.I've never cared much for Buffalo Trace.My buddy bet me I'd like this better.He was right,I do like it better than the standard bearer for this distillery.Don't get me wrong,you're getting what you pay for.A little thin but smooth as a prom queens thighs..........and only $20 for a 1.75 handle.For about $5 more I prefer EW 1783.........but if unavailable I'd go with the Benchmark.
