Blanton’s – The Original Single Barrel Bourbon

Hey guys. How’s it going? I finally got to have a dram after a couple weeks of business travel and sick as well 😄 And what a dram it is. This is my first Blanton’s and I can say that I really like it 🙂. Paired up with this Oliva V stick, this is one delicious treat! 😊.

In the past, Blanton’s Original was intended for ambassadors, dignitaries or family and friends of Colonel Blanton. Today, the assortment can be enjoyed by anyone who wants to taste a bourbon with a special and addictive flavour. What makes this whiskey a very special one is the maturing of each batch in a single white oak barrel over a period of about 9 years. Maturing takes place in a warehouse that benefits from a metal construction and which, unlike brick deposits, transfers heat faster, speeding up the aging.

Here is my review of the Blanton’s The original single barrel bourbon 🇺🇸whiskey:
Nose: Enchanting notes of vanilla, caramel, nuts, orange peels and subtle chocolate accents.
Palate: Delicate, sweet flavours, caramelised sugar, orange and chocolate.
Finish: Balanced, with accents of vanilla, honey and citrus.
Color: Caramel.

All in all, it’s a great bourbon, one of the best I’ve had 😉.

Cheers guys and have a great week 😉🥃✨🥃🇺🇸.

My name is Andrei, Andrei-Paul Muresan. I’m an IT professional, born in the wonderful year of 1982, in the heart of Transylvania (for people who don’t know, the heart of Transylvania is a city called Cluj-Napoca, located in Eastern Europe, in Romania to be more exact). Here’s a photo of me, just to put a face to the name 😉 I mentioned Transylvania because most people are more likely to know where Transylvania is and not where Romania is 🙂 oh and by the way, vampires, they’re just ghost stories, sorry to disappoint everybody. As you might expect, given my profession, I’m passionate about technology and everything that surrounds it, but I am also a great spirits fan, and when I say spirits I mean scotch, whisk(e)y and cognac, and I also enjoy a good cigar (I never say no to a good cigar). I like to mix all that with a good tune and also a good game, I own a couple of game consoles. I am, by no means, an expert in the scotch/whisk(e)y/cognac/cigar world, but I am keen on learning everything there is to know about it, so I’m launching an invitation to you, to join me in this virtual journey as we learn together.
