Review from ggilbertva (BourbonEnthusiast Review ID 1153, Created:20080618013017, Updated:20080618013038) | Purchased at: | | | Info on this bottle: | Bottled Sept 2006 Barrel 224 | | Nose: | Sweet with a hint of spice. | | Taste: | Very smooth entry that maybe contradicts the 98 proof on the label. Sweetness on the initial entry that changes over to a mild to medium spice. Some oak presents itself towards the end. | | Finish: | Medium finish that depicts mild tannins and some oak at the finish. | | Overall: | For the price, I tend to avoid Blanton's Original. I couldn't resist picking up the Silver, Gold and SFTB for less than Original costs in the U.S. I believe the higher proof does Blanton's Silver justice and for only $30, it's a good pour. |
