The story behind it

The maker

McAfee's Benchmark brand was created to honor the spirit of early American explorers who charted the wilderness of Kentucky. Today, it is produced by the legendary Buffalo Trace Distillery in Frankfort, Kentucky, which is the oldest continuously operating distillery in America.

How it is made

Crafted at the historic Buffalo Trace Distillery, this expression is named in honor of the pioneering McAfee brothers who surveyed the Kentucky landscape in 1773. The bourbon is selected from premier barrels in the rickhouse to achieve its distinct small-batch complexity.
