The Story Behind The Bottle
Habits Bottle Shop
Benchmark Top Floor takes advantage of a well-known quirk of barrel aging: bourbon that matures on the top floors of a rickhouse tends to age faster because heat rises, exposing those barrels to greater temperature swings. This Buffalo Trace bourbon is sourced from those top-floor barrels and bottled at 86 proof, resulting in a smooth, well-rounded whiskey shaped by accelerated aging.
Expect a nose of caramel, vanilla and warm oak, with a palate that's soft and approachable thanks to the moderate proof, carrying brown sugar and light spice through to a smooth, easy finish. The top-floor aging gives it a rounded character without the harshness that can come from a hotter, higher-proof bourbon.
Enjoy it neat, on the rocks, or as an easy-mixing bourbon in classic cocktails. Pair with roasted pork or mild cheese. Shop this Benchmark Top Floor bourbon online at Habits Bottle Shop.

Served on its own in a rocks glass, letting the full character come through exactly as crafted.
On The Rocks
A single large-format ice cube slowly opens things up and softens the edges as it melts.
In A Cocktail
Works well as the backbone of a simple classic — let it do the heavy lifting.
