This bottle was dumped on 3-24-20 at 130.9 proof. On the nose honey, caramel, and cherries. Surprisingly light ethanol for the proof. However, you find that proof on the palate. It's spicy. So much so that I feel it overpowers the other flavors. Intense cinnamon and red hots with a hint of that typical Blanton's flavor trying to break through. For a barrel proof it feels oddly thin, not what I expected. The finish is a very long lasting burn. In fact, as I'm writing this I can still feel it in my stomach. Not as impressed with this as I was hoping to be.
