{"product_id":"blantons-gold-edition-bourbon-750ml","title":"Blanton’s Gold Edition Bourbon 750ml","description":"\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eBlanton’s Gold Edition is a single barrel Kentucky straight bourbon from Buffalo Trace Distillery in Frankfort, Kentucky. It uses the same recipe as Blanton’s Original, but it is bottled at 103 proof, 10 points higher, for a richer and more intense pour. Gold was the second Blanton’s ever created, after the Original. For years it was sold only overseas, until Buffalo Trace brought it to the US in 2020 as a limited annual release in response to fan demand. Each bottle comes from a single barrel aged between six and eight years.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecs\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDistillery: Buffalo Trace Distillery, Frankfort, Kentucky\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAging: Single barrel, 6 to 8 years\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProof: 103 (51.5% ABV)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSize: 750ml, US release\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNose: Honey, heavy rye, dried fruit, vanilla, and chocolate\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePalate: Full and rich, with apricot, butter, pepper, light honey, and oak\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFinish: Toffee and apple, developing into pecan and caramel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eBlanton’s traces its roots to Colonel Albert B. Blanton, who would hand pick “honey barrels” from the center of Warehouse H to share with guests. In 1984, Master Distiller Elmer T. Lee turned that tradition into the world’s first single barrel bourbon. The Gold Edition is topped with a gold colored horse and jockey stopper. There are eight stopper designs, each with a letter, and collectors save them to spell out B-L-A-N-T-O-N-S.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eHow is Blanton’s Gold different from Blanton’s Original?\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt uses the same recipe, but it is bottled at 103 proof instead of 93, which gives it a fuller, richer profile.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eHow old is Blanton’s Gold?\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt carries no age statement.
