After several months waiting for blanton to be available in Montreal I finally got it. dumped on 12-23-19 from barrel #27 rick #13 Stunning, it did not disappoint. Simply beautiful pour just delicious. drank it neat as no water is needed. Nose: Lots of sweet vanilla and oak after sitting a few minutes it bursts with caramel sweetness. Hints of marzipan alongside honey. Palate: Warm and some what sweet, body quite complex but so delicious that you don't mind taking another sip to discover more,i found it a bit syrupy alike can only imagine what barrel proof would feel like on the palate, its also marked by a mix of burnt sugar, caramel, orange, and cloves. Finish: well balanced with some vanilla, honey and charred oak. Again ill repeat myself, just delicious from nose to finish and have to say bottle design is stunning. now how to get all the eight different stoppers lol. First whiskey I give 5 stars 🌟
