Blanton's Gold Edition Single Barrel Bourbon Whiskey is a benchmark for bourbons in both the UK and US. With a dark amber colour and striking bottle it stands out amongst any collection. Not just because the bottle, but also the smell and taste. On the nose it is both powerful and dry, but also contains a hint of honey, dried fruits, vanilla and chocolate. In the mouth it suits a sophisticated palate as it is full, rich, and sharp with apricot, butter, pepper, light honey and oak flavors. The aftertaste is delightful with a long warm finish with toffee and apple, combined with pecan and caramel. It is hard to buy Blanton's Gold Edition due to limited availability and online ordering of such a demanded bourbon whiskey.
