Description

Benchmark Single Barrel Bourbon

In 1773, three McAfee Brothers named James, George and Robert left Virginia westward to explore the uncharted territory that would later become known as Kentucky. Traveling by canoe at first, the McAfee Company eventually followed a native trail overland that led to the great buffalo crossing, where the brothers surveyed the land now home to the world’s most award-winning distillery – Buffalo Trace Distillery. The surveyor marks left behind are known as benchmarks and this bourbon whiskey honors the pioneering spirits of these early American explorers.

Only the best barrels are selected and bottled at 95 proof for this special Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey. While every barrel is unique, each reflects the utmost standard for the finest taste and most smooth finish with every pour. Benchmark Single Barrel Bourbon shows a rich amber appearance, opening with aromas of toasted oak and baking spice. The palate is complex and well-layered, revealing notes of caramel complemented by subtle citrus undertones. It finishes with a lingering warmth of caramel and oak, delivering a smooth yet robust expression at 47.5% ABV.
