Blanton's Original Single Barrel

Brown sugar, sugar cookie, hint of cherry, orange pith, oak

Appearance- golden amber, thin Nose- sweet warm vanilla, spicy oak, there's something hard to describe, like a cinnamon glazed doughnut. Faint ripe banana. Tabacco/Leather thing going on. Faint char smoke. Palate- vanilla orange upfront, spicy long mid, this is where the leather/tobacco/oak shines. As the spice subsidies, an array of buttery fruits, apple, banana, orange, along with a smoky butterscotch. Finish is medium to long. At last, a sticky dry leather tone at the very end. Mouthfeel- seems thin for half a second, but then coats the mouth for a long middle. The finish is juicy to begin then drys out to that leather at the very end. Overall- very pleased I got my hands on a bottle. I did notice it was better appreciated after my Palate had a little warm up. I would recommend drinking another Bourbon beforehand to wake things up. Lives up to its reputation!
