Description

McAfee’s Benchmark is a rye-recipe Kentucky straight bourbon from the Buffalo Trace distillery. Benchmark, made with a fair amount of rye, has a deep amber color, and the nose is sweet, with lots of citrus. The body is medium in texture, offering huge caramel notes, a hint of chocolate, cinnamon, and some orange. There’s a good amount of heat on the finish; the whiskey is a standard 80 proof but feels hotter than that.
