Blanton's Gold Edition

The nose smells like regular blanton’s, maybe a touch more floral. The palate is much lighter than regular Blanton’s, without the rye flavors on the front end. I had a mix of honey, citrus and floral notes. Finish is also pretty light albeit with some regular Blanton’s characteristics. To me it tastes like a state pick single barrel or a really good barrel of regular Blanton’s, with a much lighter floral palate. Wouldn’t pay much more than msrp for this bottle, however.

Nose: heavy cherry note, dusty corn, peanut, chocolate Taste: reflects the nose with cinnamon, graham cracker and floral notes Much better than standard Blantons but not worth more than retail
