Blanton Distilling (Buffalo Trace Distillery) - (Frankfort , Kentucky)
Grain - Corn (at least 51%) Rye, Barley

PROOF: 96 (48%)
TYPE: Single Barrel
Appearance: Deep golden/red color in the bottle, always a good sign for bourbon.

First Impression: Dry, almost amontillado-like bouquet, leather, and on
more warming: char, toffee, some spicyness, and a faint trace of marzipan.

Taste: Sweet start, then going dry quickly,creamy roundness to it ,corn and rye.Touch of persimmon perhaps, char and rye at the end. Smooth whisper of a finish.

Drinks: Snifter only, no water! Too delicate to stand up to much mixing for most bourbon drinks, use something heavier and beefier to mix with.

Cigar: Good with a light bodied cigar. Pick a good but not overpowering cigar (sorry, Opus) and enjoy.
