Reviewed August 20, 2020 (edited January 31, 2024)90 proof. At least 4 years old. The Benchmark series (Single Barrel, Small Batch, Bonded, Full Proof, and Top Floor), is currently Indiana exclusive. Once supplies increase, they plan on expanding to other States. I got this information directly from Buffalo Trace. N: Hints of acetone, seasoned oak, toffee, brown sugar, sour apples, and a floral floral. P: Cinnamon and brown sugar, bits of caramel, slightly burnt buttered popcorn, tannic oak. F: Astringent oak, tannic, and drying. Still better than the original 80 proof Benchmark, but not nearly as good as the single barrel version of this that I had recently. However, not surprisingly, it shares some similar properties. The brown sugar notes are not as strong as the single barrel, which was of it’s main features. This has a drying and tannic palate - but mainly on the finish and is definitely a put off. Still, it’s decent for the $16.99 I paid for it.16.99 USD per Bottle
