Blanton's Straight from the Barrel
🔬 Whiskey Details
🎨 Flavor Profile
📝 Tasting Notes
Intensely concentrated aromas of burnt caramel, dark cherry compote, and baking chocolate emerge from the glass. Rich vanilla custard mingles with toasted oak, dried figs, and a whisper of cinnamon bark and leather.
Full-bodied and viscous, delivering waves of toffee, candied orange peel, and dark chocolate-covered cherries. The high proof amplifies oak tannins and baking spices—clove, nutmeg, and cracked black pepper—alongside honey and buttered corn.
Long and warming with persistent notes of caramelized brown sugar, tobacco, and charred oak that fade slowly into dark chocolate bitterness.
🥃 How to Enjoy
The purist's choice. Full oak, vanilla, and caramel come through at room temperature with no dilution.
A single large cube slows dilution and tames heat on high-proof pours. Wheated bourbons are especially good this way.
On 100+ proof bottles, a few drops settle the alcohol burn and let the grain and spice breathe.
