Blanton's Original Single Barrel Bourbon - on the nose it is very deep and satisfying. The taste has a masterful start with powerful dry vanilla notes in perfect harmony with hints of honey and strong caramel. The long, creamy caramel holds the fort until some late soft peppers arrive to spice things up. The underlying dryness amid the spice and honey really makes for a bourbon that should suit all tastes. Winner of five gold medals in international spirits competitions over the last five years.
