Sweet butterscotch and crème brûlée lead, quickly followed by a complex interplay of dark fruit – cherry and plum – and a warming spice of cinnamon and toasted oak.

This particular expression hails from that very tradition, embodying decades of bourbon craftsmanship.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Blanton Distilling Company","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54088612970803,"sku":"1989 BL SIB 1003","price":500.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0807\/1187\/6915\/files\/Blanton_s_Single_Barrel_93_Proof__1989.jpg?v=1789575024","url":"https:\/\/subrosaselections.com\/products\/1989-blantons-single-barrel-93-proof-1989-93-proof-750ml","provider":"Sub Rosa Selections","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
