Benchmark Bold & Spicy Kentucky Straight Rye Whiskey is a vibrant expression distilled, aged, and bottled by the award-winning Buffalo Trace Distillery in Frankfort, Kentucky. Inspired by the pioneering spirit of the McAfee Brothersîwho first surveyed the Kentucky lands in 1773îthis rye whiskey proudly carries the tradition of exploration and craftsmanship that defines America’s oldest continuously operating distillery.
Crafted from a high rye mash bill (rumored to be Buffalo Trace’s signature rye formula: approximately 51% rye, with balanced corn and malted barley), Benchmark Rye delivers bold spice balanced with just the right touch of sweetness. Bottled at 100 proof (50% ABV), it opens with inviting aromas of baking spice, cracked black pepper, and vanilla bean. On the palate, expect classic rye flavors of cinnamon, toasted oak, and nutmeg, layered with subtle hints of caramel, citrus zest, and honey. The finish is long and warming, with a lingering peppery kick that stays true to its "Bold & Spicy" promise.
Perfect for sipping neat, over ice, or as the backbone of a robust Manhattan or Old Fashioned, Benchmark Rye is versatile and approachable. Though this expression is newer to the portfolio, its homeîBuffalo Trace Distilleryîhas earned global accolades such as Distillery of the Year by Whisky Magazine and countless awards at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition.
Benchmark Bold & Spicy Rye Whiskey honors its heritage while offering modern drinkers an affordable, full-flavored rye perfect for any occasion.
