Beautiful Bourbon | Bourbcast 210 | Benchmark Small Batch 

I like the White Dog Mash No. 1 better than I like the stuff they turn it into...though I've not seen Benchmark here, so I have no clue how it tastes. 9:27 Is it a*straight* bourbon whisky? The government requires straight whisky to age at least two years, and to carry an age statement if it's less than four years old. So if It's straight whisky and has no age statement, it's at least four years old. On the other hand, if it's *not* a straight whisky it doesn't have to carry an age statement, and can be anywhere from 10 seconds to 99 million years old. 🙂 19:29 I prefer a screw top. It eliminates the need for a seal, and unlike a cork it won't dry out. If I had my druthers all whisky would have screw tops. As I said above I've not even seen Benchmark. But I think Bluff Springs is even better than Buffalo Trace. But it's a Total Wine store brand, so you can't find it just anywhere. And my experience with Total Wine store brands isn't encouraging - I've had three, now (Bluff Springs, First Call rye, and McFarlane bourbon), and two of the three I've disliked.
