Today we are going to blind taste the full line of Benchmark bourbons to decide if one of them could be the new bourbon budget king!! We have Benchmark Full Proof, Benchmark Bonded, Benchmark Single Barrel, Benchmark Small Batch, and Benchmark Top Floor......and for good measure we are throwing Buffalo Trace in the blind to see how it stacks up.

Love your videos. Been watching for at least a couple years. Love both your personalities in these videos. You both work so well together. Always love your cigar/pairing videos.
You both are a large part of the reason I started exploring whiskey. I love finding something new to try that doesn’t break the bank because I’m still trying to develop my palate. I’ll definitely be grabbing a bottle of the small batch to give a shot. #bartendersblend #cheapdrunk
Great to see you & Big Al doing video.
Love how you both feed off each others energy. Keep it up man!!
#bartendersblend #cheapdrunk
Jeremy (and Big Al), thank you so much for describing things on a basic level and trying "entry level" bottles. I'm only a beginner in Bourbons and hope to one day start finding those "subtle cloudberries that were grown next to a field of poppies" flavors/aromas😁. You describe things the way we as beginners/average drinker can relate, using terms that the uneducated palate and nose can relate. Been enjoying your channel for a while, just keep doing what you are doing because it is great.
Will definitely go out and get the Benchmark Small Batch. I’ve seen Benchmark in the stores, but hesitant in picking one up. Thanks for review.
Great video! I’m loving these styles of videos! And keep on keeping on with those cigars! Thanks for sharing.
I just started my bourbon whiskey adventure, finding honest, reliable tasting reviews like this one will guide my path. Thank you
You two are so much fun to watch, thanks for the tips on budget drinker, great content, keep it real, great team 👍
Another great video, got a couple good chuckles from this video. Will have to get some benchmark to add to the small collection of whiskeys I've got.
Just subscribed, enjoy your channel muchly! Gets away from all the B.S. like many other channels; a hint of this, a trace of that, all B.S. Comes down to simply do you like it or not. Like your straight forward attitude! Will definitely try Benchmark, thanx for the entertainment! Enjoyed "Big Al", good fun!
Nice job!
Great info & great interaction between you two!!!
Yes! The Benchmark series! I am a lover of the Full Proof! Sorta gives me a bit of Texas Whiskey vibes with a deeper brown sugar and barrel note. Glad to see you gave em a try #bartendersblend #cheapdrunk
great video and its great seeing you two filming together!
Thanks for info on bourbon. I tried small batch and love it . I like Buffalo trace whiskey. Still looking for Eagle Rare. You guys kickass !! Keep up the good work on all channels. 👍👍👍
Jeremy, You and Allison are two of my favorite Whiskey Tasters. I love your insight and shared love of a Great Bourbon and the occasional foray into Scotch. Thank You Both for another Great Video. Love and Blessings to You Both, the Kiddos, and the Pups ❤️❤️🐶🤓🙏🐶🐶❤️❤️❤️
I will definitely pick up a bottle of the Benchmark Small Batch. I seen Benchmark in the stores, but was hesitant in buying it. Thanks for the review.
Love your shows. Just happened to taste Benchmark Full Proof and Small Batch yesterday. Keep the vids coming #bartendersblend #cheapdrunk.
Another wonderful video - I could watch you both all day; such fun. Now I’ve got to source Benchmark in the UK
I'm a new subscriber, and I've been going through your videos little by little. Really enjoying your content.
Another great video. It’s been fun to watch Allison develop her palette…
Blessings from Gettysburg Pa…
Been wanting to try all these! Thanks for the comparison. I’ll definitely try to find a small batch or full proof.
Great video as always that new lens looks immaculate and really had me realizing how much attention to detail you put into your b-roll shots with all the knickknacks and stuff around the bottles amazing work, also that music all the way through just had me so engaged with headphones on #Bartendersblend #cheapdrunk
I love the chemistry between y’all on this video. I’d love it if my ol’ lady was into trying whiskeys and cigars, like yours. Definitely enjoy watching y’all.
Really helpful video, had no idea that Benchmark was a Buffalo Trace product. Definitely going to try the Benchmark small batch.
Awesome video Jay!!!
Glad to see big Al back too! Thanks for the video on Benchmark cuz I've been passing it up! Cheers you guys!
#Bartendersblend #Cheapdrunk
Its good to know that the Buffalo Trace shortage isn't only here in South Louisiana. That is the reason I started making my own! Awesome video folks, keep up the great work! #bartendersblend #cheapdrunk
When I started drinking bourbon, I watched your video with your wife on bourbon for beginners. You guys are AWESOME!
Love to see you and Big Al on the channel together. I will also be picking up a bottle of Benchmark for sure. Thanks you two!!! #bartendersblend #cheapdrunk
Love the information!! Going to try the same thing with some of my whiskey buddies.
Man…I love y’all! I’ve been trying these Benchmark(s), Full Proof and Small Batch are my faves so far. As always, great video! #bartendersblend #cheapdrunk
Loved the idea. Did the same thing with the 5 Benchmark and followed with BT.
I love watching these. Very authentic.
Great finds can't wait to try some Benchmark. Agree with you on the Trace hype. So cool to see you collab with Anders, been watching you both for years! #bartendersblend #cheapdrunk
Love watching you all go through blind and seeing what you come up with! #bartendersblend #cheapdrunk
I just got the Small Batch, Buffalo Trace is my go too but um, I'm going to be drinking more of this Small Batch. Thanks to you two.
Yeah, I thought everyone was printing stuff with blurry ink until I found out I needed reading glasses. Great review, nothing wrong with the, um, bottom shelf-ish juice!
Good to see some content coming again bro, y’all stay safe
Hey! I tried my first bottle of old forester original neat today. Absolutely Kickass!
Excellent series, I am a fan of Buffalo Trace and had no idea that Benchmark was a Trace product; I'll definitely be trying all that I can find in my location.
Glad to see some budget minded bourbons are being tasted and talked about. Thanks for presenting these. #bartendersblend #cheapdrunk
Good video for some of us who have a small budget. But I do love Buffalo Trace. I keep 3 bottles. I will try Benchmark now.
Love your whiskey reviews. It's good to see a different perspective on whiskeys
I can’t! Just came across channel as this video popped up. The damn helium voices that randomly pop up are priceless. Epic!
You two are so awesome together. Keep Big Al on the channel.
Y’all are couple goals!! Been watching for years and the videos keep getting better!! #cheapdrunk #bartendersblend
I'm a big Trace fan, and we can hardly ever get it here in the Asheville area... you've DEFINITELY given me a couple of new options to try! 🤘
Love when you are both together! Such a fun video! #bartendersblend #cheapdrunk
Great to see a Benchmark Review. I just did a honey cask finish on Full Proof. It came out amazing and rounded off some of that heat from the higher proof. #bartendersblend #cheapdrunk
I love your fair and honest blind tasting videos. The Beardbrand Bold Fortune utility oil is great stuff. Keep them coming. #bartendersblend #cheapdrunk
Just made my spouse watch this video with me, and she agreed to give a blind test a try! Thanks for the great content
#bartendersblend #cheapdrunk
One of your best! Especially the old f you if you smoke your cigar while tasting! Love it
drink your whiskey the way you like it!
About the disappearing whiskey...that's your angel's share. Loved the video.
Interesting.... Im going out to get Bonded and Small batch. Thanks!!!
As an Australian, the concept of a 100 proof Bonded whiskey for sub $20 is as foreign to me as Flying Swine
A lot of flying pigs here in the States🐷
It’d prob cost $200 over there
Make sense Australia is ran like shit when it comes to imports or rights
@@821lancevance
Mainly just “sin taxes”, but, gotta pay for that socialised health care somehow, I guess
@@thenameiwantedwastaken lmao right
I been learning whiskey a lot from your videos on UA-cam and I just recently started my own whiskey collection 💪🏽
Good to see you doing more whiskey reviews. You got me started on trying the whiskeys so I ended up starting my own collection . I really enjoy that your doing more videos like this. Nothing like a good whiskey to wet the pallet!
dont forget the hashtags! #bartendersblend #cheapdrunk
Glad to see you and Big Al doing more wiskey videos! Keep them coming! #bartedersblend #cheapdrunk
Your blind whiskey tasting videos are my absolute favorite, loved seeing another one! I'm big into the coffee these days as well, hoping I get a crack at that sweet #bartendersblend! #cheapdrunk
I’ve had the Full Proof, and it certainly is. Next to try is the Small Batch.
Buffalo Trace has been a favorite of mine for 3 years. Hard to find now; I haven't been able to restock for several months. Since both of y'all chose Small Batch as #1 and Buffalo Trace was Allison's #2 choice, I'll get some Small Batch in the meantime. Love these blind taste tests. Y'all have introduced me to some great whiskeys and it's interesting to know your reactions to some of my favorites.
Great video man! I freaking lost it when you went on your cigar rant lol! Looked like a lot of fun, may try those out myself. I agree that buffalo trace is good but not as good as all the hype. I enjoy it in some old fashions, but rarely neat.
I'm a fan of Buffalo Trace but it was the whiskey that I started with and the one I come back to. I have a bottle of Benchmark but it isn't any of these. So now I need to go do some shopping thank you for this it was most interesting.
I really enjoy all your videos and ABSOLUTELY LOVE the room you built!!
#BartendersBlend #CheapDrunk
Love how whiskey will always surprises you and how your taste can change over time, keep up the good work brother. #bartendersblend #cheapdrunk
I LOVE these tasting videos you to do! I laugh so much!
Always good to see you enjoy some whiskey with the wife… You guys, really rock together! 🤘🏻#bartendersblend #cheapdrunk
I love this Chanelle, a true legend
Great video as always! I love when Big Al joins in!
I am a former bartender and HUGE coffee lover, and would love to give this blend a try!
Keep up the great work!
You are truly my spirit animal! 😂😂
#bartendersblend #cheapdrunk
It's official. You're the cutest couple, like ever! Keep the content coming!
Smashed that 'like' button! Thanks for doing this video. I admit I've been guilty of not being willing to try Benchmark's line because I associated the low price with poor quality. I'm going to try them in a bar or restaurant first, but wouldn't have if not for this video. You guys rock! #bartendersblend #cheapdrunk
Me and the wife enjoy the episodes of you and big Al…keep them coming!!! #bartendersblend #cheapdrunk
Love the videos Jeremy.. any chance I can know what that sweet background music is? Thanks cheers
I often try new brands due to the videos you post. I've found a few new drinks and brands that I've added to my bar. I like that you bring Al on often. She gives a different perspective. Thanks for all of the videos. Keep up the good work. #bartendersblend #cheapdrunk
GUYS keep doing these blind tasting videos they are informative and yes too funny love your channel now Im off to the liquor store!
Thank you for doing these, eagle and Buffalo are hard to find in MD. However, benchmark only has the Benchmark Old No. 8 Brand Kentucky Straight Bourbon around me.
I’ve tried top floor and single barrel so far. I liked top floor for an $18 bottle it’s great! I didn’t like single barrel. Gonna try the others next. Maybe not full proof but I’m excited for bonded and small batch.
Fantastic episode! Heading out now to purchase and try the small batch today!! #bartendersblend #cheapdrunk
I’m not a whiskey woman but I like watching you & Big Al syncing up your whiskey cycles… 😜 #bartendersblend #cheapdrunk
It's always a pleasure to see big Al in a video. I'll have to give benchmark a taste, can't go wrong at that price point. #bartendersblend #cheapdrunk
Great video. I wonder how the different BM single barrels stack up against each other. I want to try the FP vs the Sml B vs the Singl B. We are only seeing BM 8 at the moment.
The videos that feature Big Al are always my favorite! #bartendersblend #cheapdrunk
Great video! My wife and I both enjoy watching you two. We are going to do a blind whiskey tasting this weekend. Can't wait. #bartendersblend #cheapdrunk
Good video. You too have great chemistry. We like it when "Big Al" joins in. #cheapdrunk #bartenderblend And Anders has a great channel as well. Love his creations and always refer to his videos when looking for a specific cocktail recipe.
Love the channel Jeremy! If there is one thing that will get an instant thumbs up and view from me is seeing a video that includes your wife 🤣. Always a fan of the interaction between both of you
Love the blind and if is always great when you are both doing the video, I have been a fan for years. #bartendersblend #cheapdrunk
Great video as always, Jeremy! Quick question: have you ever considered making a video about your guitars? I hear a lot of blues licks in the background and your intro is very blues influenced so are you the creator of your music? As a musician myself, I spied a Les Paul, a Strat and a maybe even a Fender Bassman amp in your whisky room. I think it would make for a great video(s)!
Wow. You two are awesome together. Love the jokes and the comraderie (and of course getting the info on scotches and whiskeys). Single malts are my favorite and I love Highland Park but I'm looking to try some other Island of Orlay's too per your prior vid on Ardbeg, I'm going to try it when I can find it locally :-) Oh yeah!!!
Gotta find me some benchmark down here in Fort Myers! Great video, always enjoy watching these. I do miss c-gar content though😭 #bartendersblend #cheapdrunk
The Big Al evolution is a nice touch. Obviously everyone likes it when she is on air. Thanks for the content. #bartendersblend #cheapdrunk
A quintessential lineup of right-down-the-middle bourbons right there. Also, Anders’ channel is fantastic and the coffee is fantastic too. #bartendersblend #cheapdrunk
Great video, enjoyed it! I always thought Benchmark was a great value!
My favs are FP and BIB. When I let the FP breathe it gets sweeter and sweeter and nit very hot. Best budget buy out there.
Keep ‘em coming guys! Great show!
#bartendersblend
#cheapdrunk
Love the video ! Benchmark is a great choice when you want something different. Not my favorite but do like the full proof !
#bartendersblend #cheapdrunk
Great review. Whisky is definitely subjective. I tend towards higher proof bourbons and Americans too, but I absolutely love Irish which tends to be lower proofs. Also, I'm not a scotch (especially Islays) person.
Glad to hear that there are some good, frugal picks out there. Thanks for the recommendations! #bartendersblend #cheapdrunk
Definitely heading out to pick up a bottle of the small batch. Also very curious about the bartenders blend coffee. Always excellent recommendations🤙🏼 #bartendersblend #cheapdrunk
Great video as always!! I always keep a bottle of the Benchmark old #8. Have always wanted to try the whole line up but my local stores don’t carry it yet hopefully soon. Keep the videos coming
#Bartendersblend
#Cheapdrunk
Looking forward to this. Hub & I just bought 5 diff bottles of bourbon/whiskey. We’ve had and we’re going to get another bottle of BT. Maybe we’ll try one of these instead. Course they’re all better with a good cigar😉#bartendersblend #cheapdrunk
Been eyeballing Benchmark before and now I'm definitely trying it! Thanks for the great video. #bartendersblend #cheapdrunk
