Blanton's Gold Edition

This is the argonaut store pick. Some nice honey and raisins. I find the oak spiciness a little overwhelming on this one and tbh ive preferred some standard blantons picks over this.

BOTTLE No. // 88 DUMPED // 10.4.23 BARREL No. // 225 WAREHOUSE // H RICK No. // 57 NEAT NOSE - Candied cherries, Honey, Caramel, and Light oak PALATE - Palate follows the nose, but the intensity of each note varies with each sip. Given the proof, it’s impressive how bold the flavors are. The most impressive thing about this pour is the mouthfeel. This is easily the smoohest and most ‘silky’ bourbon I’ve had the pleasure of tasting. FINISH - Medium. Sweet honey and caramel with some oak on the back-end. BUY? - Absolutely, but I would hesitate paying over retail. Some stores can get crazy on their prices. I definitely wouldn’t pay if it’s more than 50 over retail. BUY AGAIN? - If Im lucky! I think I’d probably resort to paying retail myself in the future. My wife secured this one as a present for $40 over.
