Tasting Profile & Food Pairings
Tasting Notes
- Nose: A powerful and sophisticated bouquet. You'll find heavy dark fudge and honey, layered with dried apricots, spicy rye, and a hint of tobacco leaf.
- Palate: Full-bodied and oily. It leads with creamy vanilla and toasted oak, followed by a "burst" of cinnamon, white pepper, and dark stone fruits (plum and cherry).
- Finish: Exceptionally long and drying. It leaves a lingering warmth of pecan, toffee, and charred oak, with a faint floral sweetness that invites another sip.
Food Pairings
- Savory: Pecan-Crusted Pork Tenderloin. The nuttiness of the crust mirrors the pecan notes in the finish, while the pork stands up well to the 103-proof heat.
- Cheese: Aged Smoked Gouda. The smoky, creamy cheese tames the rye spice while the whiskey's caramel notes highlight the cheese's natural sweetness.
- Sweet: Dark Chocolate Tart with Sea Salt. The bitterness of high-quality dark chocolate pulls out the "tobacco and leather" notes in the bourbon, while the salt makes the honeyed vanilla pop.
- The "Kentucky Standard": A Premium Maduro Cigar. The Gold Edition’s bold profile and drying finish are designed to complement the rich, earthy smoke of a full-bodied cigar.
About the brand
Launched in 1984 by Master Distiller Elmer T. Lee, Blanton’s was the world's first commercially sold single-barrel bourbon. It effectively created the "ultra-premium" bourbon category.
