Blanton's Distilling Co.

Gold Edition Bourbon Whiskey 2025

9.4

It's Blanton's, proofed up to 103. Being a single barrel, Blanton's is consistently good but not consistently great. This bottle is well above average. It smells and tastes like something from the Van Winkle bourbon lineup. Dark cherry, apricot, leather, cigar box. Much more pleasing than last years bottle. I thought the Gold used to be in a skinnier 700ml bottle, but this is 750ml. Maybe I'm losing it 🤔

Always like seeing the bourbons you are drinking. Haven’t had many golds to remember the size. How’s it compare to the cask strength?

Dave

Hey Norman! Similar to the cask strength, just not quite as hairy. I think my bottle of cask strength is proofed at 114. I usually put droplets of Kentucky limestone water in it to proof it back down to regular Blanton's 😁

This ain’t half bad. Maybe I just like to lavish out reasonable marks, but it’s a crowd-pleaser. Lemon rind, roasted almonds and roasted nuts on the nose lead to a weighty, sweet mid palate. Lacking acidity along with a relatively short, exotic finish, I’m willing to overlook its fault lines, cos overall it’s good. — 4 years ago

Not for the faint of heart at 113 proof. This one gets an ice cube. Dusty and earthy, dried apricot, camphor, and big oak. Toffee on the finish.
