Blanton's Distilling Co.
Gold Edition Bourbon Whiskey
Kentucky, USA
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 🤔

Blanton's Gold tastes like Blanton's, but it's 103. Obviously over-hyped, but very good.
