Named in honor of the McAfee brothers who surveyed the Kentucky site in 1773, the Benchmark brand was originally created by Seagram's in the late 1960s. Today, under the stewardship of the Sazerac Company at Buffalo Trace, it serves as a high-quality, traditional Kentucky straight bourbon.
This bourbon is produced at the historic Buffalo Trace Distillery, situated on the banks of the Kentucky River. It is crafted utilizing the distillery's celebrated high-rye Mash Bill #2, bringing a signature spicy character to the final blend.
