Bold and robust, this 125 proof whiskey is meant to be sipped and savored.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBenchmark Full Proof Bourbon is the highest proof offering in the Benchmark bourbon lineup. According to Buffalo Trace, the brand is “named after the McAfee brothers who surveyed a site just north of Frankfort in the late 1700s. The rye recipe bourbon is yet another label that honors the storied history of the Distillery and the land it sits on.” Coming in at 125 proof, the bourbon is denoted as full proof due to the fact that it is bottled at the same proof that the distillate originally entered the barrel.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBenchmark Full Proof Bourbon isn’t the first full proof bourbon by Buffalo Trace. The brand also produces Weller Full Proof, which while bottled at 114 proof, is also bottled at the same proof that it enters the barrel at. Sazerac, who owns Buffalo Trace, also owns Barton 1792 Distillery, which produces 1792 Full Proof that follows the same premise. While full proof aren’t quite barrel proof bourbons, they certainly compete in the same category as other high proof and barrel proof bourbons available in the market. This includes Knob Creek Single Barrel, Booker’s, Elijah Craig Barrel Proof, and numerous other brands that fit this definition.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 20px;\"\u003eTasting Notes \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe scent of deep brown sugar and chocolate are followed by the bold taste of caramel and baking spice.

It has historically been known by several names, including the George T. Stagg Distillery and the O.F.C. Distillery. Its namesake bourbon brand, Buffalo Trace Kentucky Straight Bourbon whiskey, was introduced in August 1999. The company claims the distillery is the oldest continuously-operating distillery in the United States.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLocated on what the company claims was once an ancient buffalo crossing on the banks of the Kentucky River in Franklin County, the distillery is named after the American bison. The Sazerac Company, an American family-owned producer and importer based in New Orleans, Louisiana, purchased the distillery in 1992 and is now the parent company of Buffalo Trace Distillery.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e62.5% ABV\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e75cl\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Benchmark","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52786049614162,"sku":"08800404165","price":55.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1052\/9737\/9666\/files\/4409393386.jpg?v=1771935973","url":"https:\/\/whiskysituation.co.uk\/products\/benchmark-full-proof-bourbon-whiskey-buffalo-trace-usa-exclusive-75cl","provider":"Whisky Situation","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
