Benchmark Old No. 8 Brand

Benchmark Old No. 8 Brand is a Kentucky bourbon made to a rye recipe. It takes its name from the McAfee brothers, who surveyed a site just north of Frankfort in the late 1700s, and it honours the history of the distillery and the land it stands on. The nose is caramel with a delicate backdrop of stone fruit. The palate is robust and sturdy, with fine leather, dry tobacco, a touch of oak and a hint of dried cherries. The finish is smooth and calming.
