Subtle hints of dried apricot and orange peel emerge, intertwined with a delicate nutmeg spice and a whisper of antique leather. There's an underlying sweet corn note, indicative of a classic bourbon, balanced by a faint nuttiness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n        \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePalate:\u003c\/strong\u003e The palate delivers on the promise of the nose, presenting a wonderfully balanced and silky mouthfeel. Sweet caramel and butterscotch notes lead, quickly followed by warming oak and baking spices – cinnamon, clove, and a touch of allspice. The fruit profile expands to include dark cherry and fig, underpinned by a pleasant, earthy tobacco leaf. A gentle rye spice provides structure without overpowering the sweeter elements, making it remarkably complex yet approachable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n        \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e The finish is long, warm, and exceptionally smooth. It lingers with notes of sweet oak char, dark chocolate, and a final flourish of dried fruit. The spice recedes gracefully, leaving a pleasant, sweet warmth that invites another sip. There's a subtle, almost ethereal, dryness that keeps it from being cloying, a hallmark of well-aged and skillfully crafted bourbon.\u003c\/p\u003e\n      \n      \n        \u003ch3\u003eAbout the Distillery\u003c\/h3\u003e\n        \u003cp\u003eThe Blanton Distilling Company, though primarily known through its association with Buffalo Trace Distillery (formerly Ancient Age Distillery), laid the groundwork for what would become a seminal release in the world of single barrel bourbon. Colonel Albert B. Blanton, a visionary figure in the industry, championed the concept of individual barrel selection, ensuring only the finest, most mature whiskey made it to bottling. This particular release hails from a period when Blanton's was solidifying its reputation as a benchmark for quality and distinction.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Blanton Distilling Company","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53022051139891,"sku":"1991 BL REG 2314","price":475.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0807\/1187\/6915\/files\/Blanton_s_1991.jpg?v=1770229387","url":"https:\/\/subrosaselections.com\/products\/blantons-1991","provider":"Sub Rosa Selections","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
