Default Re: Review one whiskey

Blanton's Bourbon. $50

You may recognize it as being the round faceted bottle with the horse stopper on top.
A traditional Kentucky Whiskey. Single barrel, non-blended. Deep amber color with a caramel/toffee nose upon opening. I prefer a small ice cube or splash of cool water while drinking it. There's a hint of vanilla in addition to the caramel/toffee flavors upon drinking. A classic "warm", maybe even peppery type finish. I'm also a big fan of Booker's but find the 120 proof too be a bit much after awhile. I view Blanton's almost as a Booker's lite. Well worth the $50 investment.
