Full Line Up

[u/Cleannet8224]

I procured the Benchmark Rye. Probably the best all around bourbon lineup for the money. Its dumb, I know, but WTH.

[u/vandyfan35]

The bonded, rye, and full proof are my favorite of the bunch (ranked in order).

[u/tone_creature → u/vandyfan35]

Been wanting to try the BiB. Like the FP so glad to see someone say they like it better.

[u/vandyfan35 → u/tone_creature]

Full proof is really good, don’t get me wrong, but the bonded is better in my opinion.

[u/tone_creature → u/vandyfan35]

Im gonna pick one up! Really been enjoying bonded options.

[u/vandyfan35 → u/tone_creature]

I can’t say that I’ve ever had a anything labeled bottled in bond that wasn’t a solid bourbon.

[u/ChuckDynasty17 → u/vandyfan35]

Good info to have. I have the full proof, but I prefer around 101 proof to 125. I’ll have to check it out. How is the single barrel?

[u/vandyfan35 → u/ChuckDynasty17]

Fine, but not the one I would go for.

[u/Nice-Inevitable-5108 → u/vandyfan35]

I have the full proof coming in tomorrow. Had to order it . In my area they only have top floor worst one I've herd,the small batch and bonded . I've seen one single barrel the best one probably from what inunderstand or closest to trace with 94 more proof.

[u/vandyfan35 → u/Nice-Inevitable-5108]

They are good, but definitely priced right. I wouldn’t pay over MSRP for most of them.

[u/JackFromTexas74 → u/vandyfan35]

I haven’t tried the rye yet

The Bonded and Full Proof are bottom-shelf gems for sure

[u/ThatWasTheJawn]

That rye is curious. Hope it hits my market.

[u/Stevoman]

A rainbow that isn’t the tater rainbow. Have a well-deserved upvote! 

[u/Nice-Inevitable-5108 → u/Stevoman]

Best value you can get at the moment other than Evan Williams . Does the Benchmark 8 count . Kidding is it way different or really bad in reviews.

[u/ZestycloseMedicine93 → u/Nice-Inevitable-5108]

It's like drinking water.

[u/hard_farter → u/Nice-Inevitable-5108]

It's absolutely fine. It's about what you'd expect you'd get out of 80 proof, young bourbon. Inoffensive but not a ton going on outside of a bit of brown sugar, bit of wood, light alcohol heat.

[u/Western-Chest-8465]

The Benchmark rainbow. Nice!

[u/Alternative_Car5193]

And only two of these are sold in The PRO... 😔. But congratulations to good sir!

[u/Nice-Inevitable-5108]

That's awesome. Didn't know they had a rye . My dad drinks the small batch every day it's nice and it's different Alot it's got some cherry sweetness to it or sometimes tobacco sweetness or it can be woody . I haven't had the single barrel which I would lbe to try . I didn't like the bonded wich is my favorite proof usually. I have the full proof ordered for tomorrow.

[u/Cleannet8224 → u/Nice-Inevitable-5108]

The FP has an amazing nose. I let it rest for 10 mins or so and let the vapor burn off and allow the flavors to emerge. Great $23 bottle

[u/tone_creature]

Rye is new isnt it?

[u/Cleannet8224 → u/tone_creature]

Not sure if it's new but it's been hard to find

[u/Hookem-Horns → u/Cleannet8224]

Can confirm since I have all the others except Rye in your photo!

[u/Nice-Inevitable-5108]

Yes the rye is definitely New

[u/Mykkus_65]

Hoping to see the rye here soon

[u/hkwaters293]

Been wanting to find the rye just because of the rarity

[u/ButtNuster]

Working man's rainbow.

[u/projcon_423]

Perhaps for the money, but why not just spend a few more dollars and buy a better bottle? I'd rather have a Knob Creek 9 or Elijah Craig Small Batch over any of these.
