One of the best bourbons on the planet. If you have not tried it you need to
Note. Picture is for illustration - Cask number 43 from a 5-17-23 dump.
In 1984, Colonel Albert B. Blanton, the visionary founder of Blanton's, embarked on a historic journey by crafting the world's very first single barrel bourbon. The highly anticipated 2023 release of this exceptionally rare edition comes from cask number 604, bottled at cask strength of 62.9%. As you explore, your senses will be treated to the enticing aromas of dark chocolate, caramel, and hazelnuts. The palate unfolds with the allure of vanilla, roasted nuts, and a subtle spiciness, a testament to Blanton's enduring legacy of craftsmanship and innovation.
This is from the company Buffalo Trace and is heavy on the burnt caramel and oak taste. Just amazing stuff!
About the distillery
Buffalo Trace Distillery is a distillery located in Frankfort, Kentucky. It has historically been known by several names, including the George T. Stagg Distillery and the O.F.C. Distillery. Its namesake bourbon brand, Buffalo Trace Kentucky Straight Bourbon whiskey, was introduced in August 1999. The company claims the distillery is the oldest continuously-operating distillery in the United States.
Located on what the company claims was once an ancient buffalo crossing on the banks of the Kentucky River in Franklin County, the distillery is named after the American bison. The Sazerac Company, an American family-owned producer and importer based in New Orleans, Louisiana, purchased the distillery in 1992 and is now the parent company of Buffalo Trace Distillery.
