Benchmark Bonded is a Kentucky straight bourbon from Buffalo Trace in Frankfort. It follows the 1897 Bottled-in-Bond Act. That means one distilling season, one distillery, at least four years in a bonded warehouse, and 100 proof. It uses Mash Bill #1, the same recipe behind Eagle Rare.
The nose opens bright, with citrus and honey. Those notes carry onto the palate. Then light oak, caramel and vanilla fill in the middle. The finish is long and smooth, and the extra proof adds gentle warmth.
For an everyday price, it has a busy trophy case. San Francisco judges handed it a Gold medal in 2024. That year it also took Gold at the Global Whiskey Challenge and the American Whiskey Masters. Silvers came from the International Wine & Spirit Competition and the North American Bourbon & Whiskey Competition.
You can pour it neat, over a big cube, or into an Old Fashioned. It stands up well in a Whiskey Sour or Manhattan too. Serve it with barbecue or grilled meats.
If you want honest whiskey that over-delivers, this is a bottle to keep stocked.
