![]() Overall, I find Kirkland Single Barrel to be a significantly better and more rewarding sip. Bold and robust, this 125 proof Kentucky Straight Bourbon. ![]() The heat initially overpowers the flavor just a little, but drinking just a couple sips prepares your tongue and palate, and the flavors really start to shine. While I am happy to have a bottle, I won’t be picking up a replacement for this. This Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey is bottled at the same proof that it enters the barrel. Rating: 7/10 Recommended: Yes A pleasant surprise I wouldn’t have otherwise encountered. While it is a robust 125 proof, that high alcohol content in a young bourbon means ethanol prevails throughout and leaves the whole experience as a hot, simplistic experience. Score: 84 Would I buy again? No matter what the hype says, Benchmark Full Proof is still a budget bourbon – and it drinks like one. Bold and robust, this 125 proof Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey unveils hints of chocolate, brown sugar and spice. The heat overpowers the mouthfeel a bit and results in a less than stellar palate.įinish: Medium length finish that dries the palate and leaves cinnamon and orange peel. Palate: Strong heat, brown sugar, burnt wood, white vanilla, sweet corn meal, with a touch of classic Buffalo Trace grape and fruit notes. Then moves to ethanol mixed with candy corn, yellow frosting, apple, and lemon peel. ![]() 1792 Full Proof Bourbon is a more oaky, grassy, dry, and tannic bourbon (I might even call it more brutish) that drinks like your quintessential bourbon. Stagg Jr Batch Full Proof have bourbon-y overlap, yet it’s clear that they’ve lived different lives. Nose: Starts with strong, deep oak with a metallic underbite. I hate to say it again, but I prefer Stagg Jr Batch 7. ![]()
