Blanton's Gold Edition

Very similar, but strikingly different to the original. Doing a side by side as we speak. Nose is full of vanilla, caramel, honey, tobacco, raisins, and what my nose is calling cherry. The palate is a very smooth liquid cinnamon mixed with cream, vanilla and finished with an oak & pepper undertone. Thick creamy mouthfeel. It finishes medium to long and has a nice mouth burn. What sets to gold version apart from the original is slightly more honey, and significantly more spice."

Very smooth finish, typical rye spices on the end. Having a hard time pulling out strong wood favors as the description suggests. Taster bottle from a friend
