THE O.G. SINGLE-BARREL BEAUTY
+ CLAIM TO FAME: Blanton’s Original set the standard for single-barrel bourbons back in 1984. The base whiskey is taken from the center-cut [e.g. middle sections] of the famous Warehouse H.
+ THE STORY: Blanton’s Original Single Barrel was once designated for ambassadors, dignitaries, and Colonel Blanton’s family and friends. It's like drinking a little bit of history.
+ NOSE: Creamy vanilla nose portends to caramel and butterscotch that follow, underscored by clove, nutmeg, cinnamon baking-spice notes.
+ PROFILE: Classic, sweet, and silky with notes of citrus and oak
+ BEST SERVED: Either neat, or on the rocks
+ THE PROOF: Bottled at 46.5% ABV [93 Proof]
