This is a whiskey that lets your taste buds really enjoy their time with dessert, as the palate can lift off and comfortably glimmer above, as it did here.All shipments require a signature from an adult twenty-one (21) years of age or older per federal law. This is a whiskey you sip slowly with great enjoyment of the flavor notes, without a heavy or overwhelming palate weight. The finish is delivered with extremely soft, deliciously sweet flavors of malted vanilla, caramel, licorice and barley. The palate is very well-balanced, with an incredibly smooth finish. Very little of the spiciness is apparent after the second sip. This is a spicier whiskey than I am used to, but in the end, the spiciness is a desirable feature and part of what makes the whiskey what it is. My palate was momentarily startled by the spiciness, yet I let it dissipate, and it is no longer there. In the background, a strong and aggressive, yet pleasant, spiciness, is present. Mellow, grainy-dark chocolate notes and pure, soft spices of cinnamon, ginger, allspice, cloves and nutmeg. The palate immediately tastes of mild sweetness, but the sweetness is of a very high standard. But if you like Akadama, the Benchmark 8 has the Akadama on board. It smells like the finest and purest Akadama (Akadama is one of the finest strains of grass-fed, non-GMO Japanese cow’s milk) out there. The nose is clear, spicy, fruity, tender and rich. The McAfee’s Benchmark 8 Straight Bourbon is a rich, full-bodied, jewel-like whiskey that is anything but hard up. They are the world leaders in distilling. Then they blend the bourbon with another rye whiskey, namely the Four Roses Small Batch, a very smooth, easy-drinking, high-rye bourbon.īuffalo Trace rums and whiskeys are the very best of their kind worldwide.
There are no column stills at Buffalo Trace, so the whiskey is double-filtered, after distillation, before being bottled.īuffalo Trace double-filters the bourbon, filtering twice because of the extremely high rye content. The mash bill includes 95% rye and 5% barley, with a small portion of wheat and corn and a portion of burnt wheat and corn. The grain bill of the McAfee’s Benchmark 8 Straight Bourbon is similar to that of Jack Daniel’s: corn, rye, wheat, barley and corn malt. Buffalo Trace produces the bourbon at the same distillery it has been using since 1847: the Buffalo Trace distillery. The McAfee’s Benchmark 8 Straight Bourbon employs 100% sourced rye malt. In 2001, Diageo renamed the 8 the McAfee’s Benchmark 8 and released it as it is today: a new recipe, very high in rye, which again Diageo took from Buffalo Trace’s Baptiste. It is a very old bourbon and has been at Diageo’s Buffalo Trace Distillery for over a century. In 1979, Buffalo Trace sold the majority of its stock of Baptiste to Diageo, which named the bourbon the Benchmark 8 and increased its distillate from 27% rye to 35% rye. The McAfee’s Benchmark 8 Straight Bourbon began life as the Baptiste, a straight rye bourbon released in the mid-1970s by Buffalo Trace.
