Blanton’s Straight From the Cask

Country: USA

Region: Kentucky

Type: Bourbon

Bottler: Distiller

ABV: 64.5%

Score: 94 Points

The easiest way to describe this export-only bottling is Blanton’s smoothness with George T. Stagg-like intensity. The nose is intense with vanilla, honey, dark chocolate, and brown sugar. The taste is mouth-tingling intense with a peppery cinnamon blast that peaks and fades slowly to reveal brown sugar, caramel, and vanilla notes that linger seamlessly into the finish.
