Blanton's Gold Edition Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey was created for discerning bourbon aficionados who appreciate exceptional smoothness and complexity in their bourbon whiskey. It has distilled from a proprietary sour mash of corn, rye, and malted barley. It has crafted from the same high-rye mash bill as the famous Blanton's Original Single Barrel, but it has bottled at 103 proof (51.5% alcohol by volume) rather than the standard 93 proof.
The nose has first marked by spicy rye and tobacco notes. Caramel and honey follow soon after, mingled with dark fruit and citrus notes. The palate emulates the same complex nose with rye, tobacco, and honey at the forefront. Round and bold notes of charred oak and vanilla carry you through to an extremely long and harmonious finish.
This bourbon consistently delivers on balance and character, on par with the world's finest whiskey. It is best to serve neat or with a splash of water. Enjoy!
