Production: The Benchmark Single Barrel is produced at the Buffalo Trace Distillery in Frankfort, Kentucky, which is one of the oldest and most respected distilleries in the United States. The whiskey is made from a proprietary mash bill that is a combination of corn, rye, and barley.

The selection process involves a thorough evaluation of the whiskey’s color, aroma, and flavor profile to ensure that it meets the high standards of the Benchmark brand.

Proof: The whiskey is bottled at a proof of 95 (47.5% ABV), which is the same proof at which it was aged.

Packaging: The whiskey is packaged in a 750ml (25.4 oz) bottle with a unique label design that reflects the single-barrel production process.
