A testament to single barrel excellence.
Tasting Notes
Nose: A captivating and complex bouquet that opens with rich caramel and sweet vanilla, quickly evolving into notes of dried apricot, orange peel, and warm baking spices like nutmeg and cinnamon. There's a subtle underlying oak char and a hint of floral sweetness, perhaps honeysuckle or rosewater.
Palate: The palate is remarkably smooth and full-bodied despite the unknown proof, immediately delivering a burst of brown sugar and honey, followed by a pleasant rye spice kick. Dark chocolate and toasted nuts emerge, balanced by bright citrus zest and a touch of ripe red fruit, like cherry or cranberry. The mouthfeel is velvety, coating the tongue with warmth.
Finish: A long, lingering, and satisfying finish that beautifully showcases the oak influence without being overpowering. Sweet caramel fades into gentle heat and persistent spice, leaving behind notes of vanilla bean, leather, and a whisper of tobacco. The fruit and floral elements make a brief, pleasant return at the very end.
About the Distillery
While the label states "Blanton Distilling Company," Blanton's is famously produced at the Buffalo Trace Distillery in Frankfort, Kentucky. It holds the distinction of being the first single barrel bourbon ever commercially sold, a revolutionary concept introduced by Master Distiller Elmer T. Lee in 1984, paving the way for the craft bourbon movement.
