Blanton’s Gold Edition 750 mL
Elmer T. Lee is known for creating the very first single barrel bourbon the world has ever seen in 1984. This gold edition is proudly named after Colonel Albert B. Blanton, former distillery president, in honor of how Elmer would recall the way Colonel Blanton would pick up a ‘honey barrel’ to enjoy with others. The Blanton Brand was born many years later. Today, Blanton’s Single Barrel is widely known as one of the best bourbons on the market. After the original 93 proof, the Gold Edition was the second version created. While this 103 proof may be very limited, it remains a firm favorite amongst bourbon aficionados.
Tasting Notes:
The nose features hints of tobacco and spicy rye, followed by citrus notes, dark fruit and caramel and honey. The palate takes after this complex, coming with aromas of honey, tobacco and rye. As a finale, vanilla and oak round it up for a harmonious and long finish.
