Made at Buffalo Trace, from the same mash bill family as Eagle Rare and the Blanton's single barrels, and sold for a third of the price.
We stock it because it is the least expensive bottle on this shelf that comes out of a distillery worth naming, which is a better argument for a cheap bourbon than any of the bulk-blended ones make.

Benchmark Old No. 8 Bourbon is a classic Kentucky straight bourbon produced by the renowned Buffalo Trace Distillery, offering genuine American whiskey character at exceptional value. Aged in new charred American oak barrels, this easy-drinking bourbon showcases the warm sweetness and smooth texture that have made Kentucky bourbon famous worldwide. Bottled at 40% ABV, Benchmark delivers approachable flavour and versatility, making it a reliable choice for both casual whiskey drinkers and bourbon enthusiasts alike.
Smooth and balanced on the palate, Benchmark reveals notes of caramel, vanilla and toasted oak layered with hints of dried fruit, leather and subtle spice. Its mellow finish and approachable profile make it perfect enjoyed neat, over ice or mixed into classic cocktails such as an Old Fashioned, Whiskey Sour or Bourbon and Cola. Affordable yet full of authentic bourbon character, Benchmark Old No. 8 is an everyday favourite that delivers dependable quality and satisfying flavour in every pour.
We stock it because it is the bourbon that bartenders name when asked what to buy at this price, and because the distillery behind it is the reason half the craft bourbon on anyone's wish list exists.
We stock it because it is number two in the state and a shop without it reads as incomplete rather than curated, and because the charcoal step is a real difference that the label never explains.
We stock it because it is the bourbon most often asked for by name in New South Wales, and because the strength on the Australian bottle is lower than most people assume - which is worth knowing before you compare the price to a duty free one.
We stock it because it is in the state's top twenty-five and it is what a great many people mean when they ask for something sweeter, and because saying plainly that it is a liqueur is more useful than pretending it is whiskey.
