The Buffalo Trace Mashbill No. 1 Premium Bundle brings together three expressions that share the same standard Buffalo Trace corn-rye-malted barley mashbill — the flagship Bourbon, Benchmark Bourbon, and Buffalo Trace White Dog Mash #1 — for a complete exploration of what Mashbill No. 1 produces across different aging and processing stages.
Buffalo Trace uses multiple mashbills across its portfolio. Mashbill No. 1 is the standard corn-rye-malted barley recipe used for the flagship Buffalo Trace Bourbon and Benchmark. White Dog Mash #1 is that same mashbill before barrel entry — the raw new make distillate straight from the still, showing exactly what goes into the barrel to become bourbon after years of aging. Together the three bottles trace Mashbill No. 1 from unaged new make through the accessible flagship to a value-tier expression of the same recipe.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is Buffalo Trace White Dog Mash #1?
The unaged new make distillate from Buffalo Trace’s Mashbill No. 1 — clear, high-proof spirit straight from the still before barrel entry. It shows the pure grain and yeast character that will become bourbon after years in new charred American oak. An educational bottle for understanding what aging actually does to the spirit.
How do Buffalo Trace and Benchmark differ?
Both use the same Mashbill No. 1. Buffalo Trace is the flagship — aged longer and selected to the distillery’s quality standard for the primary brand. Benchmark uses the same mashbill at a more accessible price point — slightly younger aging and less barrel selection rigor, but a genuinely good expression of the same recipe.
