BLANTON’S STRAIGHT FROM THE BARREL (US RELEASE)
$399.99
LEATHER BAG AND BOX INCLUDEDDive into the world of premium bourbons with Blanton’s Straight From The Barrel, an expression that stands as a beacon of purity and intensity in the whiskey realm. Originating from the innovative minds at Buffalo Trace Distillery, this bourbon is a nod to the pioneering spirit of Elmer T. Lee, who introduced the world to single barrel bourbons back in 1984.
In a landmark move, 2020 saw the introduction of the Straight From The Barrel variant to the U.S. market. Previously exclusive to international shores, its arrival stateside was met with anticipation and excitement. As an annual limited release, its allure is not just in its taste but also its rarity.
What sets this bourbon apart is its undiluted character. While other Blanton’s variants have their own unique proofs, Straight From The Barrel can soar to proofs exceeding 130, offering a taste experience that’s both bold and unfiltered.
On the sensory front, expect a symphony of flavors. Dark chocolate and caramel notes dance on the palate, while aromas of walnut and hazelnut enchant the nose. As you savor each sip, layers of vanilla, oak, and a medley of nuts unfurl, culminating in a spicy, resonant finish with hints of sweet butterscotch.
The bottle, with its signature horse and jockey stopper, is a nod to the brand’s rich heritage. Collectors often embark on a quest to gather all eight unique stoppers, each representing a letter, to spell out “B-L-A-N-T-O-N-S.”
Blanton’s Straight From The Barrel is more than just a drink; it’s a journey through bourbon history, offering a taste that’s as memorable as its legacy.
