Blanton's Straight From the Barrel
Bourbon — Kentucky, USA
Reviewed June 27, 2020 (edited December 31, 2020)This was very good. Nose was typical Blanton’s but the finish and palate were a little different. Good caramel and pepper notes. Root beer finish. I was able to try this during a very long night of whiskey tasting, but I was unfortunately unable to take good notes. I use the rating scale below. Distiller uses a scale of 5 and I use a scale of 10, but I’m sure you’re not too drunk to do the math! 1. Disgusting - So bad I poured it out. 2. Poor - I wouldn't consume by choice. 3. Bad - Multiple flaws. 4. Below average - Not bad, but many things I'd rather have. 5. Good - Just average. 6. Very Good - Better than average. 7. Great - Well above average. 8. Excellent - In a league of its own. 9. Incredible - An all-time favorite. 10. Perfect -
