Blanton’s Black Edition Bourbon Whiskey takes Blanton’s proven distilling process and takes it up several notches. The method used to craft this special edition bottle stays true to his traditional ways, except with a slightly extended age time of eight years, producing a more intricate flavour with an elaborate flavour profile. Another difference is the use of a sour mash bill, which is when the contents of a previous batch are used much like a sourdough starter, producing a significantly richer taste. At the time of its creation, the bourbon was made exclusively for the Japanese export market, making it a rare find even today and the perfect choice for any Blanton aficionado. It features a potent and intense flavour profile that perfectly balances pepper, butter, and honey, and finishes clean and smooth.
