Benchmark Top Floor Bourbon is all about where the barrels sleep. Buffalo Trace Distillery in Frankfort, Kentucky, ages these barrels on the top floors of its warehouses. Heat rises, so those floors run warmer. That extra warmth pushes the whiskey deeper into the wood. As a result, it picks up character more quickly.
It is a Kentucky straight bourbon made from Buffalo Trace Mash Bill #1. That is the distillery's classic low-rye recipe of corn, rye and malted barley. The spirit rests in new charred oak and is bottled at 86 proof.
The nose is gently sweet, with a dusting of baking spice. On the palate you will find light citrus and butterscotch over a frame of oak. A little spice lingers as it fades. It is an easy, uncomplicated pour that does not ask much of you.
Top Floor also does well in competitions. In 2024 it won Gold at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition. That same year it took Gold at the Global Whiskey Challenge and at the American Whiskey Masters.
Pour it neat or over ice. It also makes a smart, budget-friendly Old Fashioned or Whiskey Sour. Grilled meats and smoked nuts suit it well. If you like Buffalo Trace, this is a fun way to taste how warehouse location shapes a bourbon. You don't need a special occasion to open it.
