This is fantastic. It's everything you like about the traditional Blanton's amplified to the max. It's big, bold and complex with multiple layers. It has a surprisingly smooth finish for a barrel proof. I cracked my first bottle with some friends at an annual get together. Everyone loved it. This is one of my favorites and should really be the sixth member of the Antique Collection. The only problem is that it's currently only offered overseas. You can get it online but shipping costs are brutal.
