About this deal

Excerpt: Not too bad - I like this better than the OG Blanton's and about the same as some of their Straight From The Barrel expressions. This is the first time the Blanton’s Gold Edition has been made available in the U.S. Previously the only version of the Blanton’s Single Barrel Bourbon available to fans stateside was the Original Single Barrel, bottled at 93 proof. While Blanton’s Original will still be available, the Gold Edition is now joining the ranks. Each stopper is marked with a single letter that spells Blanton’s when the set has been completed. The final stopper, marked by “S” always finishes the race in victory!

Blanton’s Gold Edition is, first of all, of a higher proof than their regular Blanton’s, and you will notice the extra 5% alcohol even from the first sip. That being said, it has a stronger taste of charred oak and a very pleasant caramel smell.Caramel, dark fruit, orchard fruit, oak, vanilla, that same spice that starts low and builds (cinnamon-bergamot hybrid), molasses and a slight touch of an herbal character.

Blanton's Gold is distilled from a mashbill of corn, rye and malted barley. Each bottle is hand filled, sealed, labelled and individually numbered. The nose is powerful and dry with honey, rye, dried fruits, vanilla and chocolate. The palate is full and rich with honey and oak, pecan and caramel. The distillery describes Blanton’s Gold as having a nose marked by honey, heavy rye, dried fruits, vanilla, and chocolate. The taste is described as full and rich, marked by apricot, butter, pepper, light honey, and oak. The finish has been called long, with toffee and apple, developing on pecan and caramel.

Introduced in 1984, Blanton’s namesake bourbon was the first ever Single Barrel Bourbon sold commercially. Records the default button state of the corresponding category & the status of CCPA. It works only in coordination with the primary cookie. Blanton’s Gold Edition was created for discerning connoisseurs who appreciate exceptional smoothness and clean finish in their bourbon whiskey. The rich taste of dark fudge, citrus, oak and cream combined with the spiciness of white pepper and rye lead to a long finish that challenges the world’s finest single malts and rarest cognacs in complexity and character. Best served neat or with a splash of water. Bottled at 51.5% alcohol by volume.” The founder of Blantons, master distiller Elmer T. Lee introduced the world to the first "super premium" whiskey and in doing so, revolutionised the entire bourbon industry. It can't be overstated just what a radical move this was - it completely changed peoples expectations and ideas about what bourbon was. Today, super-premium bourbon features on pretty much every bourbon distillers portfolio but Blantons was the first. Excerpt: This is one of those whiskies that you’ll find yourself continuing to sniff throughout the whole drinking experience.You’ll notice that Blanton’s offers two bourbons which are significantly more expensive than their standard whiskey. Why is this?

In the winter of 1881, Albert Bacon Blanton was born into one of the first families of bourbon history. At the age of sixteen, he started work in the Distillery as an office boy and fast became a leading pioneer in the development of bourbon. FRANKFORT, FRANKLIN COUNTY, KY (Feb 27, 2020) Fans of Blanton’s Single Barrel Bourbon have long asked for the Gold Edition to be available in the United States.

For the first time, Blanton’s Gold will begin hitting shelves this summer as a limited annual release.Caramel, dark fruit, vanilla, wood, candied citrus, a spice that slowly builds to prominence and a bit of gourmet red licorice.
