Wednesday | April 8th | 6:30PM - 8:00PM | $40 | Ray’s Mequon
Join us at Ray’s Mequon for an in depth look at Benchmark Bourbon, one of the most approachable and under the radar brands in the Buffalo Trace portfolio. Produced at the historic Buffalo Trace Distillery, the Benchmark lineup showcases how variations in aging, barrel selection, and proof can create distinctly different expressions from the same distilling tradition.
During this guided tasting we will explore five different Benchmark Bourbons side by side and finish with a pour of Buffalo Trace Bourbon for comparison. Along the way we will talk through the history of the brand, how these expressions fit within the larger Buffalo Trace family, and what makes each release unique. Whether you are a longtime bourbon fan or simply curious about the Benchmark lineup, this class offers a great opportunity to taste and learn through direct comparison.
