Benchmark Old No. 8 Kentucky Straight Bourbon

Description

Named after the McAfee brothers who surveyed a site just north of Frankfort in the late 1700s, this rye recipe bourbon is yet another label that honors the storied history of the Distillery and the land it sits on.TASTING NOTES The nose bears caramel notes with a delicate stone-fruit backdrop. A robust and sturdy palate with some fine leather notes mingling with dry tobacco, a touch of oak and a hint of dried cherries. The finish is smooth and calming.AWARDS Most recent awards 2019 Silver Medal – New York World Spirits Competition 2019 Silver Outstanding – Whiskies of the World 2019 Silver Medal – North American Bourbon & Whiskey Competition 2019 Gold Medal – Los Angeles International Spirits Competition 2019 Silver Medal – San Francisco World Spirits Competition 2019 Silver Medal – Denver International Spirits Competition 2018 Gold Medal – New York International Spirits Competition 2018 Gold Medal – Los Angeles International Spirits Competition 2018 Silver Medal – San Francisco World Spirits Competition 2018 Tried & True – 92 points – Ultimate Spirits Challenge
