With over 20 years of hands-on experience in the industry, I've had the pleasure of witnessing the evolution of whiskey culture firsthand. From the smoothest bourbons to the peatiest scotches, I've had the joy of introducing countless patrons to the rich and diverse tapestry of flavors that this timeless spirit offers. But Buffalo Trace, not being content until they’re the best at everything, decided that they needed to corner the bottom shelf market even more by introducing new expressions of this lowly shelf turd by invigorating some age and proof into the mix.

Score: 6.2/10

Bob: The green apple candy is really prominent. I've had Crown Royal Apple and we've tried a really lovely one from Traverse City, their Michigan Apple. This doesn't have the candy flavor of that, but it's like the LaCroix of Jolly Ranchers and has really harsh ethanol to go with it. It mimics a spiciness, but it's not spicy at all. I don't get a lot of baking spice on this. In this personal blog, I share my knowledge and insights on Whisky, Whiskey & Bourbon and other spirits, drawing from my 30 years of extensive experience. Indulge in‍ the​ luscious sweetness of ‍our⁣ carefully selected grains, providing a velvety texture ⁢that glides across ⁤the palate. This experience was a precursor to my venture into the liquor shop business, where I had the privilege of curating an extensive collection of liquors, granting me access to thousands of unique bottles from across the globe.

The master distillers carefully⁢ maintain specific temperature ranges ‌during fermentation to maximize the development of flavors while preserving the ​unique characteristics of the grains.

Awards for Benchmark Bourbon

So, what exactly is McAfee Brothers Benchmark Small Batch Bourbon? Well, other than being one of the 5 Benchmark bourbons released in late 2020, we don’t really know. That’s the thing about bourbons designated as “Small Batch”. The one thing we do know is that Buffalo Trace blends barrels to achieve a specific flavor profile, however that would be the same for any of the Benchmark bourbons except for the Single Barrel. We are also told that “select barrels are chosen”, but again, that is not very specific.
