Blanton's – Straight from the Barrel Bourbon (70cl, 65.5%)

Blanton's Straight from the Barrel is a bourbon bottled at 65.5% in a 70cl bottle, unfiltered and without any water added. It is aged in the same section of Warehouse H where Blanton's Private Reserve was aged more than fifty years ago. On the nose there is dark chocolate, caramel and butter, with earthy walnut and hazelnut underneath. The palate brings warm vanilla, oak, toasted nuts and rich spice, with hints of butterscotch or honey. The finish is deep and resonant. It is suggested neat or with a splash of water.
