My God. Does bourbon get much better than Blanton's? Maybe for some but right now and for a while now, this has been by far and away my favorite bourbon. A sweet and luxurious nose envelop you with vanilla, caramel and a tiny bit of pipe tobacco. Its warm and inviting, just waiting to be sipped. The front of the taste hits you with a faint bit of saltiness washed over by an ocean of sweet. Reminds me a bit of peanut brittle. The taste opens up to a bit of citrus underlying chocolate and toffee. That sweetness melts onto your tongue, creating a long lasting, oily finish as it fades off your tongue with some creamy butterscotch and just a hint of leather throughout. Bourbon's typically aren't as complex, satisfying and long lasting as Blanton's and that is precisely why its top 10 for me and a rare 5 of 5.
