Bourbon and Gift Ideas
Each barrel of Bourbon is a little different, and the whiskey in its acquires a slightly different flavor. Furthermore, where store the barrel is stored in the warehouse can make a considerable difference in how the whiskey ages. These are dumped together, chilled and filtered, cut with water, and then bottled.
Typically, when a distiller bottles a Bourbon, he collects together several
hundred or even thousand barrels. What results is a reliably uniform whiskey.
Bourbon Straight
Since 1984, a new breed of bourbon has emerged; the Single Barrel. The name describes it perfectly. This bourbon comes from a single barrel, which is usually aged for an extended period of time. This allows for the individuality and variations of each barrel to be shown.
Blanton's Single Barrel Bourbon
Take your time tasting Blanton's Single Barrel Bourbon and you will more fully enjoy the smooth, complex, full-bodied bourbon that experts consistently rate the very best on the market.
If you wish, feel free to add a splash of pure water (at room
temperature) and go through the process again. The addition of
water releases esters and aldehydes from the whiskey, bringing
out yet another level of aromas and flavors.
