Non-distinct
Benchmark Old # 8 has been my favorite cost effective mixer for all my bourbon drinks… so when I learned that Buffalo Trace had released a whole line of Benchmsrk products I was excited to try them… but while they were all enjoyable… there was barely enough distinction between the various bottles to tell the difference. We did an evening of blind taste testing… (a dozen friends) and the only product we could accurately identify was the Full Proof… and that was only by the noticeably higher alcohol content
