This is a pretty consistent bourbon across the board when it comes to flavor profile. The nose, palate, and finish all are very pleasing and this bourbon delivers a great sip from start to finish. The Gold Edition is a slightly spunkier version of Blanton’s Original Single Barrel in the sense that it offers the same great nose, a little drier mouthfeel, and a little more burn in the finish. Additionally, the Gold Edition is a really fun opportunity to taste a higher proof version of a beloved single barrel that you won’t often get the opportunity to have, however it comes with a hefty price tag. I actually prefer the Gold Edition over the Original version, and it’s a shame that this isn’t sold in the U.S. at slightly higher price than Blanton’s Original Single Barrel. If it were, I could see this being popular as many Blanton’s fans would gladly pay for the opportunity to try a slightly “grown-up” version of a beloved bourbon. That being said I’m not sure how many would go back for a second bottle due to the fact that while it’s slightly better, I’d be willing to bet many would be hard pressed to pick one bottle of Gold over almost two bottles of Blanton’s Original Single Barrel.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Federal Wine - FW","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":32872768700552,"sku":"11614","price":199.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0352\/3140\/0072\/files\/blantons-bourbon-special-reserve-gold-label-675420.jpg?v=1743260379"},{"product_id":"blantons-bourbon-special-reserve-red-label","title":"Blanton's Bourbon Special Reserve Red Label","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"shogun-root\" data-shogun-id=\"608b424253a01c00c60c7544\" data-shogun-site-id=\"e04fb116-e3b9-4b45-bbf3-46849ff7c027\" data-shogun-page-id=\"608b424253a01c00c60c7544\" data-shogun-page-version-id=\"616d9abbfa375e00dcd61320\" data-shogun-platform-type=\"shopify\" data-shogun-variant-id=\"616d9abbfa375e00dcd61326\" data-region=\"main\"\u003e\n  \n\n\u003cdiv id=\"s-47203bb4-266f-451c-9941-925a05ba85b3\" class=\"shg-c  \"\u003e\n  \u003cdiv class=\"shg-rich-text shg-theme-text-content\"\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis is a variant of Blanton's (sometimes called \"B\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003elanton's Red\") that is released for the Japanese market.

He owned and operated the distillery now known as Buffalo Trace (then called O.F.C.), modernized Kentucky bourbon production, and was the principal lobbyist behind the 1897 Bottled-in-Bond Act — the strictest labeling rule on an American whiskey bottle. The modern E.H. Taylor line, produced at the Buffalo Trace Distillery, is named in his honor and the Small Batch expression carries forward the bottled-in-bond designation he fought to establish.

One such trace, the Great Buffalo Trace, led to the rugged banks of what is now known as the Kentucky River.

Distillation soon followed and in 1787 a working distillery started on the grounds, located in Frankfort, Ky.

The original distillery was located on the Bowman family homestead in Fairfax County, Virginia called Sunset Hills Farm. The distillery’s hallmark bourbon called Virginia Gentleman was first created in small-batches to ensure meticulous control over the quality of each bottle. In response to the rapid growth of Northern Virginia, the distillery was moved in 1988 and is now nestled in the historic city of Fredericksburg in Spotsylvania County, 60 miles away from the original location.
