Blanton's STRAIGHT FROM THE BARREL Bourbon 63.5% ABV 0.7l in a gift box online kaufen

Blanton's STRAIGHT FROM THE BARREL BOURBON 63.5% vol. 0.7 l is an exceptional American Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whisky that combines traditional bourbon production with the unadulterated intensity of a single-barrel, cask-strength bottling. It is produced at the renowned Buffalo Trace Distillery in Frankfort, Kentucky, whose history dates back to the 18th century. The Blanton’s brand was launched in 1984 and is regarded as a pioneer of modern single-barrel bourbon whisky. It owes its name to the distillery’s former president, Colonel Albert B. Blanton, who was known for his particular passion for carefully selected bourbon casks. The selection of casks is closely linked to the historic Warehouse H, one of the distillery’s traditional warehouses.

Blanton’s Straight From The Barrel represents the particularly robust side of the famous Blanton’s Single Barrel Bourbon. Unlike the regular bottlings, this whisky is bottled undiluted at natural barrel strength (barrel proof), thereby preserving the individual characteristics of the respective oak cask. Maturation takes place in new, charred American white oak casks, as required for Kentucky Straight Bourbon. Each bottle comes from a single cask and bears individual bottling details, including the cask number and the bottling date. With a robust 63.5% ABV, this variant is one of the distillery’s most intense bourbon specialities. The distinctive 0.7-litre bottle, with its iconic horse-head stopper and matching gift box, emphasises the exclusive character of this cask-strength Kentucky Single Barrel Bourbon.

Tasting Note

Colour: Deep amber with warm copper and mahogany highlights.

Nose: Intense aromas of creamy vanilla, dark caramel and sweet toffee, accompanied by toasted oak, ripe dried fruit and an elegant blend of spices including cinnamon and cloves.

Palate: Exceptionally powerful and full-bodied, with rich notes of dark chocolate, sweet caramel and aromatic vanilla. Toasted nuts, spicy oak and subtle hints of dried fruit lend additional depth to this complex bourbon blend.

Finish: Particularly long-lasting and intensely warming, with lingering notes of caramel, robust oaky spice, dark chocolate and a harmonious blend of vanilla and delicate spices.

Blanton's Straight From The Barrel Bourbon reveals its concentrated aromas particularly well when enjoyed neat in a tulip-shaped nosing glass. Due to its high cask strength of 63.5% ABV, it is recommended to add a few drops of still water to gradually bring out the multi-layered notes of vanilla, caramel and oak. Ideal culinary pairings include grilled rib-eye steak, slow-braised BBQ ribs, mature Cheddar or roasted pecans, whose intense flavours harmonise with the bourbon. Dark chocolate truffles, crème brûlée or pecan tart with caramel also make for delightful combinations. The gift box and the distinctive horse-shaped cap also make this special Kentucky bourbon an attractive present for whisky lovers and collectors.
