Benchmark Full Proof

Tasting Notes

Don't let the "Benchmark" name fool you; this Full Proof bourbon isn't your grandpa's mixer. Bottled at a robust 125 proof straight from the barrel, it's a surprisingly nuanced sipper from Buffalo Trace. Expect a nose of deep brown sugar, caramel, and a hint of citrus zest that leads into a palate bursting with cinnamon spice, dry oak, and even a touch of leather. The finish is long and warming, dominated by sweet oak and lingering spice. It drinks a bit below its proof, making it approachable without sacrificing that high-proof kick. While not overly complex, it's a solid, flavorful bourbon that's worth a try if you're looking for a well-priced, high-proof option.
