Blanton's Gold Edition

Nose- tobacco/cigar box, leather book, and vanilla. A deliciously good nose. Palate- oily and coating. The taste is full and sweet with a mouthful of chewy toffee, followed by a hint of milk chocolate and nougat. Finish- Finish is medium and pops with some oakiness at the end. Overall- First, regular Blanton's does not impress me. I have always felt it to be a bit thin and one note. I have always preferred Elmer T. Lee to it. This however is SOoooo much better. The extra proof points really help it. Everything hits the right spot. Is it a good value? No. Is it a good bourbon? Absolutely yes!

Raisin, fruit, oak, honey on nose. Caramel, light char, vanilla, baking soices, raisins, and sweet fruit. Much more complex than typical blantons.

Just ok. Tasted after George T. Stagg 2019 and it seemed pretty average. No burn, and decent flavor
