Tasting Notes

Benchmark Old No. 8 is a Kentucky Straight Bourbon crafted at Buffalo Trace Distillery, designed to deliver classic bourbon flavor at an approachable level. The nose opens with notes of caramel, vanilla, and sweet corn layered over gentle oak. On the palate, it is smooth and easy-drinking, offering flavors of toffee, honey, and light spice balanced by hints of roasted nuts and dried fruit. The body is medium and mellow, leading into a clean finish of oak, vanilla, and soft sweetness.

Food Pairings

As a starter, pair it with spiced nuts, smoked sausages, or charcuterie. For a main course, it complements barbecued ribs, fried chicken, or grilled pork chops. In the cheese course, mild cheddar, Colby, or young gouda highlight its easy sweetness. For dessert, it matches well with pecan pie, caramel flan, or chocolate chip cookies.
