My experience is not as hard as the other reviewer here. I poured this after a particularily poor dram so I was thankful for the lemon, sweet, fruity nose. A little sharp, but welcoming and captured my interest. The palate is coating and malty. However, it is a little bitter and alcohol pronounced. Clearly young, but for the price in my market, this is a descent dram. The finish is short, but the lightly drying, and yet coating memory is pleasant. I would say trying it if a good value in your market.

Not sure if this is actually Gold or just the regular Blanton's Bourbon. This is an excellent bourbon. Tastes like cinnamon buns iced with sweet cream cheese icing. I get spicy cinnamon, but then cooked spices and a nice bready note. The finish bring oak and more spice, even cracked pepper. This is an exceptional bourbon. If only it did not cost so much!

Smooth, creamy, and easy drinking. If price was not an object, this could be a regular Bourbon on the shelf. Nicely balanced with Caramel, vanilla, new Oak, and a hint of cinnamon spice, this is easy to pour and enjoy. The only challenge keeping this from being an excellent release is the crazy price asked for such a soft and mellow dram.

At the beginning of the bottle I was enjoying the dried or leathery fruits, bit of caramel, almonds, and some pepper spice. Now, I really get more oil and salt. Almost a seaweed or fish saltiness. Interesting. I wonder how the bottle will finish. This is good. I prefer the 12, but this is very good.
