Eeny Meeny Miny Moe, which Buffalo Trace Mash Bill #1 Bottle is worth the dough?

In this review, I'm going to compare Buffalo Trace, Benchmark and Benchmark Small Batch Whiskey.

THEBOURBONCULTURE.COM

All three of these are so similar that they beg comparison. Benchmark is the cheapest, but Benchmark Small Batch isn't too far behind it.

Buffalo Trace is the cheapest bottle outside of the Benchmark line, so it felt right to put it in here too.

If you are reading this to form an opinion on what bottle to buy, then let me lay it out for you:

THEBOURBONCULTURE.COM

Buy the Benchmark No. 8 if you are on a budget and need a passable bourbon for a mixer.

THEBOURBONCULTURE.COM

If you don't yet understand the more delicate flavors and nuances of bourbon, at least you know you won't be wasting money on more than you need. 

THEBOURBONCULTURE.COM

Buy the Benchmark Small Batch if you're a Buffalo Trace fan but want to be a little more thrifty with your purchases.

THEBOURBONCULTURE.COM

Benchmark Small Batch is a little brighter and more lively than Buffalo Trace, but that's not always a bad thing in bourbon.

THEBOURBONCULTURE.COM

Buy the Buffalo Trace if you know that straight sippin' is most appealing to you.

THEBOURBONCULTURE.COM

Buffalo Trace is not necessarily a great bourbon, but it is a quality product that is much better than a lot of other brands' comparably priced bottles.
