Blanton’s Straight From the Barrel

Country: USA

Region: Kentucky

Type: Bourbon

Bottler: Distiller

ABV: 65.95%

Score: 93 Points

This export-only Blanton’s has a nose that’s spicy and intense with molasses, charred oak, brown sugar, and dark chocolate notes. The taste is equally intense and fiery with black pepper and notes of caramel and dark chocolate that come out as the spice fades. The finish is lingering with dark chocolate and molasses notes.
