Blanton's Straight From the Barrel

Thick oak and light honey on the nose, with some bitterness and cigar smoke as well. The proof is certainly noticeable. The palate has noticeable burn with not a ton of flavor in my opinion. Oak, apple, and cherry were the main notes for me. The finish is very long with a considerable bitterness. This bottle did not live up to the hype for me. It was okay, but I think ECBP and other high proof offerings are much better. Save your money for other things

Had at bourbon boulevard few weeks ago. Best Blantons I’ve had.
