Blanton's Straight from the Barrel Bourbon Whiskey (750ml)

The world’s first single barrel bourbon was created in 1984 by Elmer T. Lee. Named after former distillery president Colonel Albert B. Blanton. Elmer recalled how Colonel Blanton would sometimes handpick a ‘honey barrel’ from the center of Warehouse H to enjoy with others.  Many years later, the Blanton’s brand was created. Today, Blanton’s Single Barrel has become one of the most revered and award-winning bourbons on the market.  The Gold Edition was the second version created, after the Original 93 proof.  This 103 proof Blanton’s Gold is very limited, but a favorite among discerning bourbon aficionados.

Golden honey color. Rich aromas of baked apple, vanilla, oak, warming spices, light wood and toasted nut aromas. Well balanced harmony between vanilla, wood and ripe apple. It has an overall effect that reads like shortbread cookies and apple compote warmed with cinnamon stick and clove. Hints of pecan, orange peel and black pepper add complexity. Suitable for drinking on its own or is delicious in cocktails such as a Side Car or Old Fashioned.
