History,
Named after former distillery president Colonel Albert B. Blanton, who always had very special supply of bourbon - his private reserve - handpicked and stored in legendary famous Warehouse H. The Blanton’s brand was launched in 1984 when Elmer T. Lee introduced the world to Blanton’s Single Barrel Bourbon a year before he retired. In doing so, he revolutionized the industry with the world’s first single barrel bourbon. Blanton’s Straight From the Barrel was the third version created, after the Original 93 proof and Gold 103 proof. This cask strength bourbon is beloved amongst connoisseurs.
Tasting Notes:
Nose: Creamy fruit, deep earthy caramel, Smoked meat with a brown sugar glaze Stewed peach cobbler and spiced plum pudding. Toasted oak and confectionary sugar. Deep molasses. Hints of lemon peel zest. Soft black tea.
Palate: incredibly cherry forward. It's candied and incredibly sweet with cinnamon hots. The cherry note seems to have been injected with a rich vanilla - becoming so entwined together that they quickly alternate, a thick maple syrup experience.
