I haven't finished my pour of Benchmark, but the best part about it this far is the Glencairn I poured it in. Very flat, not a great nose (it's an odd mix to me), and a finish that drops off abruptly without delivering any flavor. Hope it gets better, but I don't see that happening.

OK, I must have missed something with this Benchmark thing. Anyone want to explain?



It all started when someone on the Outdoor Board (he doesn't post in this thread) was going to Endymion this year and the discussion of mixing Pappy came up. He decided to troll people at Endymion with a bottle of Pappy filled with Benchmark. I asked NOLAGT if he had a spare empty bottle and he did. The poster poured Benchmark from a 20 year Pappy bottle all night making mixed drinks and pouring it for people that did not know any better. He said everyone raved about how good it was...

It's good, but it's no Benchmark.

That story is brilliant!

Got me, but after DBP's taste, I'm bringing it back and swapping up for a Four Roses or something

ETA: So many ghosts
