Blanton's Black Edition Bourbon
customer reviews
Description
Produced exclusively for the Japanese export market, Blanton's Black Label is one of the rarest bourbon whiskeys in the world.
Remarkably similar to the green-labeled Special Reserve, the main difference is an 8-year minimum aged barrel selection process (as opposed to standard 6), which produces a more complex, robust, and refined tasting experience.
Nose: The nose on this bourbon is stunning. Floral notes with cherry and apple on the front, with caramel, vanilla, and oak on the back end.
Palate: The taste is smooth. A very easy drinker. Little to no burn on the tongue. Fruit and sweet on the front of the tongue make way for the oak of the 8-year aged juice. The oak is not overpowering, but it’s definitely noticeable.
Finish: The finish on this bottle was medium at best. It doesn’t linger. It’s tasty and makes a great sipping drink.
Cheers, and enjoy this bourbon!
