Is Benchmark on Sale? November 2026

Questions and answers

Who makes Benchmark bourbon?

It is distilled at the Buffalo Trace distillery in Frankfort, Kentucky, and is one of its entry-level labels. The mash bill is corn-heavy with rye and malted barley, and the whiskey is bottled at 80 proof.

What does Benchmark bourbon taste like?

It is light and sweet, with corn, vanilla and a little caramel, then a short, warm finish with mild oak. It is made for mixing and everyday drinking rather than long aging.

Is the 1.75L plastic bottle the same whiskey as the glass bottles?

Yes. The plastic handle bottle holds the same 80-proof Kentucky straight bourbon as the smaller glass sizes. Plastic is lighter and safer to carry, but it is more permeable to air, so finish it within a few months of opening.

What is a comfort-fit wedding band?

The inside of the ring is rounded rather than flat, so it slides over the knuckle and sits more easily on the finger. Benchmark's domed cobalt chrome bands use this fit and are harder and lighter than gold, though they cannot be resized.

What is Benchmark's warranty on its rings?

Benchmark covers its rings against manufacturing defects, and the terms vary by retailer, so check the policy of the store you buy from. Cobalt chrome bands cannot be resized, so confirm the finger size before ordering.

Are there Benchmark discount codes?

Deal.ai checks what Benchmark products actually cost at every store, so a real markdown shows on this page as a deal as soon as it starts, and each product's page has its price history to tell a sale from its usual price.
