At a natural barrel-proof around 67%, this epic bourbon is not for the faint-hearted. Blanton's Straight From The Barrel is a truly awesome sipping whiskey of unforgettable quality.
This is mind blowing, massive bourbon. Complex, with the very best Buffalo Trace has to offer. Apricot, vanilla, Turkish Delight. The whole works. I'm in love!

Incredible Bourbon. Why, why, why won't you sell this in the US. Nothing better than straight from the barrel. It's the American spirit, please bring it home.

Delicious! I was lucky enough to run into a bottle when I was in Japan and am completely crushed that it is not available in the U.S. Notes of vanilla and caramel and hints of nuts to the point of being slightly coconutty. I am always pleased to dilute to my own palate instead of the distillers and this whiskey does not disappoint!

Definitely needs water to dilute it to a drinkable ABV. The taste is magnificent. Sweet, very rich, and a long aftertaste. One of my new favorite whiskies.

Probably the best single barrel bourbon you can buy for less than 100. The distinctive Blantons nose and very varied, full taste combined. The "kick" is not quite as announced as you may think. A very mellow bourbon indeed!

Very strong! Expect this bottle to last a couple of months. Not recommended to drink more than a few glasses at a time. Has a definite kick to it!
