Maker's Mark Cask Strength ends up getting blended in a 2:1 ratio with Larceny small batch in my home. I add one barrel spiral per 750 ml for 2 weeks. 3 bottles of MM CS and 1 bottle of Larceny will make 2 handles with a little air gap. It's really good. I don't normally drink MM CS in a glen unless I get an incredible batch. I've only gotten 1 batch that I did not turn into Prudent Pappy. I like some of the different stave finishes and the 46 CS.
Lots of division on the Benchmark finishing so high. gotta love a sleeper in the blind. Can’t agree more with the others (i haven’t had the benchmark). JDSBBS, ECBP, Larceny BP, and Green River FP are my go to pours. I pepper in some more allocated stuff like Four Roses, Old Forester and Michters Barrel Strength as well.
I was hesitant to buy a Benchmark full proof because I felt the bottled in bond was a little rough ethanol burn. I tried small batch, BiB, and top floor and SB and TF seemed to balance things a little better. But maybe I'll give it a shot once I free up some space.
Man I have all these, but I absolutely hate the benchmark full proof. It's been moved outside with the other step children bottles. No room in the inn😂
Damn that sucks that the tasting is on patreon, a lot of people like me really enjoy the blind tasting videos other content creators release like Bourbon Junkies
ive tried benchmark full proof, i disliked it to a great degree....i couldnt drink it straight. ive one who likes high prood alcohols. bought one in texas while i was there and it was cheap. i guess i just have a very different pallet being smoke house wagons bourbons are my favorite cheap barrell proofs
Dave's got the hoodie on...queue the rocky soundtrack...training for advent starts now...this is your year Dave!
All I can say is this let's me know that my pallet matches yours so bring on the barrel picks. Cheers 🥃

Not surprised by the James E Pepper.

Benchmark Full Proof and OGD 114 are my favorite mixers. It just depends on whether a spicy rye or sweet fruity profile works best for the cockktail.

Very interesting blind. thanks for that. I also like Still Austin Cask Strength
Man we honestly totally forgot about them. I feel foolish for that lol.
Fantastic video
Thanks! 😃
Benchmark over ECBP is like Buster Douglas knocking out Tyson.
I’m surprised…have had most of these and Benchmark full proof is no way better than ECBP, JDBP, Rare Breed, Larceny BP, or a Barrell batch
this kinda proves it boys, no reason to ever spend more t ha $25 for a bourbon. WRAP IT UP
Y’all must be buzzin lol
Hate me some Chatanooga. It's definitely not one I like 😂

Bought the Makers Cask this summer and didn’t like it at all.
We get the drunken munchies after math of the tasting.
I am just not a fan of the Benchmark line. Just doesn’t appeal to my palate.
Their makin em at night
I never liked the Chat 111 proof.
Seriously? Benchmark? It literally tastes like lighter fluid guys
woo hoo
