BLANTONS STRAIGHT FROM THE BARREL BOURBON 65.5% 700ML
Not only one of the world’s best bourbons, Blanton’s Straight from the Barrel Bourbon Whiskey is one of the world’s best whiskeys. Created for connoisseurs familiar with cask strength whiskeys, this enormous taste profile reaches depths of flavor found only in the rarest of spirits. On the nose we get notes of dark chocolate, caramel and butter with earthy undertones of walnut and hazelnut. The palate delivers intrepid notes of warm vanilla, oak, toasted nuts and a rich spiciness with hints of butterscotch or honey. The high alcohol by volume is intense and powerful yet inviting. The deep and resonate finish on this bourbon is nothing short of legendary. Blanton’s Straight From the Barrel is best served neat or with a splash of water.
Un-filtered, un-cut, unbelievable. This special Blanton’s is bottled raw and uncut from the barrel, aged in the same section of Warehouse H as Blanton's Private Reserve was over 50 years ago.
TASTING NOTES
This Buffalo Distillery Whiskey is powerful yet compelling alcohol burn on the nose. The palate is mouth coating and complex with notes of rye, caramel, oak, honey and vanilla, followed by a bold finish in true Blanton’s form.
