Benchmark Bonded Review
Sazerac Brands' Benchmark Bonded opens with a standard issue bourbon profile of oaky vanilla sweetness, giving way to complex notes of berry compote and orchard fruits on the palate. With a price tag comparable to that of a cocktail in most major cities today, this 100-proof, 4-year-old expression offers some serious bang for your buck.
