Benchmark Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey - 750ml

The rye-forward mashbill gives this bourbon a nice spicy kick that lingers just long enough, and at 750ml it’s a solid pour for a weeknight. I’ve had pricier bottles that don’t bring this much character, so this one’s earned a permanent spot on my shelf.

For the price point, this bottle punches way above its weight—the rye-forward profile gives it a nice spicy kick that’s perfect in an old fashioned. It’s a solid everyday sipper straight from the Buffalo Trace distillery, and I’ll definitely be grabbing another one.

The rye-forward mash bill really comes through on the finish, giving it a peppery kick that a lot of bourbons in this price range lack. Poured a glass neat and it was smooth enough to sip slowly, no need for ice. Absolutely worth grabbing a bottle if you like Buffalo Trace's style but want something
