Benchmark Single Barrel Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey is part of the Benchmark lineup from Buffalo Trace Distillery, one of the most respected bourbon producers in Kentucky. The Single Barrel expression showcases the individuality of a single hand-selected cask, offering a unique flavor profile that highlights the distillery’s craftsmanship and attention to detail.

Made from Buffalo Trace’s traditional mash bill and aged in new charred American oak barrels, each barrel chosen for this bottling develops its own character based on warehouse location, climate exposure, and maturation conditions.

In the glass, it displays a rich amber hue. The nose offers aromas of vanilla, caramel, toasted oak, and a touch of dried fruit. On the palate, it is bold yet balanced, with flavors of sweet corn, brown sugar, baking spice, and hints of dark chocolate. The finish is long and warming, leaving behind oak spice and subtle sweetness that reflect the depth of single-barrel selection.

Benchmark Single Barrel is best enjoyed neat or with a splash of water to unlock its layers, but it also stands out in spirit-forward cocktails like an Old Fashioned or Manhattan. As a single-barrel release at an approachable price point, it provides bourbon enthusiasts with both quality and individuality, making each bottle a unique experience.
