Blantons Straight from the Barrel is a world class bourbon. With depths of flavour, its high alcohol volume makes it an intense and powerful, yet inviting whiskey. The complexity of rye, caramel, oak, honey and vanilla coat the palate and lead to a finish of peaches and citrus, with a buttery chocolate aftertaste.
