Very easy drinking.....
I know each barrel is different but I've had 3 bottles of this stuff and consitantly it was the "Lowland" of bourbon whiskeys, think Auchentoshan with a corn bite but same sweet subtle fade. Best Bourbon for non bourbon drinkers, very approchable.
The Horse is running for the bourbon
In Kentucky we like a smooth dark silky bourbon that has a sweet finish. Blanton's is famous for this, thus the reason why they have made such an indelible mark on the Kentucky landscape. Worth the price for a cool afternoon in the early fall.
