Blanton’s Gold Edition - Single Barrel Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey - 51.5% ABV
()
Blanton’s Gold is the same as the Original but with less Kentucky limestone water added. It will be difficult to return to the lower proof now that I’ve gone Gold.
.
NOSE: So much leather, tobacco, cherry, caramel, vanilla, and oak. I take deep breaths and I am calmed.
.
PALATE: So much orange rind, chocolate, and cinnamon. I swish a long time and oak and leather become prominent with an intense, ever-growing tingling.
.
FINISH: A healing of cherries came forth that were not really noticeable in the original. The finish is more intense and longer lasting.
.
CONCLUSION: By the time this Gold came back to America (where it is not sold), it was twice the price of the Original. And, I’ll gladly pay the price like so many of my fellow Americans. Good thing the Europeans are not as enamored so that we Americans can repatriate the golden deliciousness.
.
Cheers!
.
PS: Buffalo Trace makes Blanton’s under contract for a Japanese company that own’s Blanton’s. I’ve heard many variations are quite easy to get in Japan—road trip!

Wild Turkey Master Keep Series Aged 17 Years, Decades, and Revival
WWE Rules—my eldest son has moved on to #WWE (and, fed #dramosaurus and #dramceratops to the turkeys). Introducing his new action figure of his favorite WWE superstar—@baroncorbinwwe (old style Corbin before his current waiter look—I roasted his waiter look with a comment on a post of his, and my comment got 165 likes—gotta love WWE fans). My family is pumped to see Corbin in live action again when WWE comes to Dallas this summer!
.
Why Wild Turkey? Dating back from my college days, I’ve looked down on this turkey. And, well, maybe I’ve equally looked down on WWE... Fortunately, I’m not as stubborn as my wife says, because now I can appreciate both—especially when my kids wrestle together to pin me!
.
In the whisky world, there are so many choices that I too rarely give turkeys a second chance. Do you give second chances?
.
Cheers!
.
PS: We are looking forward to the next Master Keep Series to be released this summer—it’s time for Cornerstone Rye!

Garrison Brothers Balmorhea – Texas Straight Bourbon Whiskey – 57.5 % ABV
How does one say no to a whiskey that comes with its own medal? It’s the “American Micro Whisky of the Year 2019” according to Jim Murray’s Whisky Bible. Okay, that may be one reason to say no, because Mr. Murray has had some controversial picks as of late. That said, I quite enjoyed the 2018 Balmorhea release where there was so little available it came only in half-size bottles. In fact, it has been my most favored Garrison Brothers. So, despite the medal, I bought a new bottle.
.
I am thankful for the #whiskyfabric. A fellow drammer knew, from my past posts, that I quite enjoyed Balmorhea. He sent me a DM to tell me it was available and was disappearing quickly from the shelves. I am thankful as I really haven’t been paying attention. Thanks Jon.
.
Cheers

My hand reached for this lovely IS in the cabinet today Dark Age a bourbon barrel aged Imperial Stout at 12% ABV by @wickedweedbrewing ◾️When you pouring it the bourbon aromas hits your nose This is so well balanced with raisins, leather, arrack, some caramel, vanilla, chocolate, bourbon, booze and some vineous barley. The taste experience is a ninjakick in the face, and by that meaning awesome

Tahwahkaro - Four Grain Bourbon Whiskey - 48% ABV
The first spirit from a new, grain-to-glass distillery located within spittin’ distance of my home. Some of my family gave this a solid thumbs up, some of my family gave this a solid thumbs down, and, for some of us, one wonders where our thumbs are at... My thumb is in the barrel—Little Jack Horner stuck his thumb in the pie (the barrel shown formerly held Jack Daniel the whisky and not Jack Horner the nursery rhyme—it’s all Jack don’t you know—oh wait, that’s a 90’s computer game—where was I).
.
NOSE: Orange rind, cinnamon, cereal, black tea, tobacco, sawdust, and youth.
.
PALATE: Slightly sweet, mini-cinnamon red-hots, blood oranges, touch of vanilla and pleasant oak.
.
FINISH: Touch of cinnamon, dark chocolate, tobacco and calm, lingering tingling.
.
CONCLUSION: This Batch 1 would be more to my preferences with more rest in the barrel. I understand this bourbon coming to market young because these folks have been working their butts off for three years with no income. It’s tough to start a new distillery when you don’t source someone else’s whiskey to get early income. They have my support, and I look forward to their first Straight Bourbon.
.
Cheers!
