🕑 Added 2020-07-23 00:52:39 +0000 UTCOh my! I have waited a good while to get my hands on this little horse topped Bourbon! A special thank you to a sweet friend that made my bourbon dreams come true. I had to wear my country gentlewoman best, to sip this fine spirit. This is definitely a special treat and will be on future Derby weekends š„°
Blantonās Single Barrel Bourbon - a few interesting facts
Blantonās is distilled by Buffalo Trace in Frankfort, Kentucky, which is famously mum abut the exact contents of its Mash Bills #1 and #2. We do know that Blantonās is distilled from Mash Bill #2 a āhigh-ryeā mash bill ā meaning after the higher proportion of corn common in Buffalo Trace bourbons, the rest (or much of the rest) of the mash bill is made up of rye.
Blanton comes from a famous warehouse. Thereās almost never a fun reason to bring up āwarehouse lore,ā except of course in the case of Blantonās, because Blantonās is aged in Buffalo Traceās famous Warehouse H, the distilleryās only all-metal rick house (or barrel-aging building) and the very place where Blanton himself would stow his select barrels of whiskey. Though unconfirmed, we assume he would visit them and quietly pet them in the middle of the night. With the bourbon inside, Blantonās barrels are aged for several years in Warehouse H. Since metal conducts heat, the walls of Warehouse H act like an amplifier for Kentuckyās temperature fluctuations, increasing the impact of heat and humidity changes, all of which encourages the barrels to absorb and then flush out the bourbon more often over the course of aging. And the more interaction between bourbon and barrel, the more flavor in the end.
Blantons barrels are almost coddled. Most whiskies are machine-dumped. In contrast, Blantonās barrels are hand-dumped, which sounds just a bit better adding a level of persnickety care to the process for this bourbon.
The adorable horse stopper atop every bottle of Blantonās Single Barrel Bourbon each has a letter on it in a little circle to the lower left. Collect all eight and you get āB L A N T O N Sā FYI, the āSā shows the horse crossing the finish line; you can tell because the jockey is fist pumping. Make sure you double check your N's though.... The first is a regular old N, but the second should have a colon after it. This bottle has an "L" .
Notes from Whiskey Wash:
Nose: Notes of citrus, attributable to the rye grain, and toffee, from the barrel, lead off the front, and soft notes of clove and caramel follow. Overall, the nose is well-balanced but a bit soft when compared to the new higher-proof offerings now filling shelves.
Palate: Similar to the nose, citrus notes balanced with sweeter notes like vanilla and caramel lead off the front, and some very light floral notes follow. For the finish, the sweet notes completely dissipate, and the finish takes on a dry, and slightly bitter tone, with notes of toasted nut and oak joining the floral and citrus notes.
