Originally named McAfee's Benchmark, this brand honors Hancock McAfee, one of the pioneering surveyors who mapped the area around the Kentucky River in 1773. Today, Buffalo Trace crafts this high-value line using their signature Rye Bourbon Mash Bill #1.
Benchmark Bonded is produced at the historic Buffalo Trace Distillery, where the art of distillation has been perfected for over two centuries. This expression is crafted strictly under the Bottled-in-Bond Act of 1897, guaranteeing a single distillation season, distillery, and aging period of at least four years.
