History of Benchmark Bourbon
Posted: Sun Apr 02, 2006 8:38 pm
Greetings,
I am a land surveyor and am trying to trace the history of Benchmark Bourbon. The name supposedly comes from the McAfee Brothers who were early surveyors in the Frankfort area.
What I would like to know is if the McAfee name associated with this bourbon traces itself back to the surveyors, or was the McAfee name just affixed to the it without any true family connection.
Approximately what year did Benchmark Bourbon originate, and where have the distilleries been located. Which companies have been associated with the Benchmark name and where is it distilled today?
Thanks,
Surveyor1
