Blanton's is produced at Buffalo Trace Distillery in Frankfort, Kentucky, and was the world's first commercially marketed single barrel bourbon when launched in 1984. Barrels are drawn from Warehouse H, a metal-clad rickhouse known for producing fast-maturing, characterful whiskey.
Gold Edition is a single-barrel bottling, distilled from Buffalo Trace's high-rye mash bill and bottled at a higher strength than the standard Blanton's Single Barrel, at 51.5% ABV (103 proof), for a bolder, more concentrated expression. No age statement is given, as is standard for the range.
Nose: spicy rye and tobacco. Palate: caramel, honey, dark fruit and citrus, with rye and tobacco carrying through. Finish: warm and polished.
