I love the Benchmark on a bench photos. 😍
8:41 I'm not a wine guy, so I can't say that the White Dog is like wine. I can say that I sure get the grain on the nose and the palate, and it's so rich that I can't drink much at once. It doesn't taste at all like cheesecake, but just as I can never eat a big slice of cheesecake because it's so rich, I can't drink more than a few sips of the White Dog because it's so rich.
14:50 I've never seen any Benchmark here. But for most of the time I've been drinking whiskey (going on three years now) all Buffalo Trace juice has been impossible to find. BT bourbon is now usually on the shelf, and Weller Special Reserve, but that's it.
Thanks for mentioning me. But now I need to go outside and scuff my toe in the dirt and say, "Aw, shucks." 😂
20:38 I was thinking of a Palantír from *The Lord of the Rings.* 🙂
25:13 I really miss those liners. I seem to remember that some sodas put cute little messages under the liner, kind of like fortune cookies.
30:02 Inexpensive can be good. My first glass tonight was Wild Turkey 101, and the bottle was $21. Evan Williams Bottled In Bond is only like $20, and I really like it. My current bottle of Old Grand-Dad Bonded only cost me $22.44 (which is an oddball price).

I'm glad you caught the bench motif! It was subtle, but fun to do. As far as mentioning you, you're part of what makes doing the bourbcast fun. So yeah, you're part of this and you should be recognized just like the people who watch the show live on Facebook. The liners ... Snapple did that for awhile. Not sure Snapple is even around anymore. I don't get out much (ha ha). OGD Bonded is an unrated pour, for sure. If you can find it, grab the Ezra Brooks 99 and give that a try. It's another low priced pour but it's fantastic.

@@beautifulbourbon I've been laughing at the Benchmark on a bench since the first one - I thought it was obvious, and of course hilarious.
I *think* Snapple's still around.
I'll look for the Brooks. I'm always ready for something affordable and good.
