Unfortunately Blanton's is fast becoming impossible to find and, it seems, more expensive by the day. My friend Dan gifted us a bottle when we moved a number of years ago, and it was a wonderful gift. Blanton's has the most scotch-like qualities of any bourbon I've had, with a lot of baking spices that balanced out the syrup and caramel sweetness of bourbon, and also a mature smokiness that made it feel like a dram that would hold up to even a robusto cigar. Also, this is one of the most distinctive and beautiful bottles on the market! The 89 on Distiller seems low by 3-4 points.
