Why Liquor Geeks recommends it
This is a Kentucky Straight Bourbon made at Buffalo Trace Distillery and bottled at 100 proof, a strength that gives its corn-dominant sweetness real structure. The nose leads with caramel and vanilla over a quiet thread of dark chocolate. The palate layers honey, toasted oak and baking spice, and the finish lingers warmly with leather and a touch of maple. It suits the bourbon drinker who wants genuine depth to sip neat, yet it has the backbone to hold its own in a Manhattan or Boulevardier. The name nods to the McAfee Brothers, whose 1773 expedition left surveyor marks called benchmarks, a fitting story for a bottle meant for exploring. We carry it because it delivers a full, well-balanced classic bourbon profile from a storied Kentucky distillery. It also earns a spot in a side-by-side tasting flight, where its chocolate and leather notes give you plenty to compare against other bourbons on your shelf.
Pairs well with
- Dark chocolate tart — The bourbon's hint of dark chocolate and caramel sweetness echo the dessert while the baking spice keeps it from feeling heavy.
- Maple-glazed pork belly — The rich glaze meets the bourbon's maple finish and toasted oak, and the 100 proof strength cuts through the richness.
- Bourbon tasting flight night — Its layered caramel, honey, leather and chocolate notes give friends plenty to compare against other bourbons poured side by side.
