I picked up a bottle and it's not bad for a lower priced bourbon.
What is everybody's thoughts on this bourbon?
Thanks,

This bourbon, made by Seagrams years ago was a very good bourbon. Haven't had any of the new stuff. Is it Heaven Hill now?

I see it on the shelves sometimes. Just didn't pull the plug yet.

I had some in a Sprite and bourbon a couple of weeks ago. I thought it was fine for mixing, and I'm sure that's how most folds drink it.
It's a good value, not unlike Very Old Barton or Evan Williams, get a 1.75 litre for less than $20 bucks.

not an impressive bourbon but not offensive pretty much sums up my feelings on benchmark.
