Why Gifted Pour recommends it
This is the bottle for someone curious about bourbon who wants flavor without heavy oak. Drawn from a single barrel at Buffalo Trace Distillery in Kentucky and aged in Warehouse H, Blanton's Special Reserve is the lighter, more approachable member of the Blanton's range. The nose offers vanilla, caramel, citrus and soft florals. The palate is smooth with honey, light caramel and gentle spice, and the finish is clean and mellow, with lingering sweetness and subtle oak. Because each bottle comes from an individual barrel, every one carries its own subtle variations, which gives the gift a personal touch. The round bottle, green label and collectible horse-and-jockey stopper make it feel ready for a housewarming, a promotion, a birthday or a heartfelt thank-you. It also makes a thoughtful introduction for a friend just starting a bourbon shelf. Your recipient can sip it neat, add a splash of water to lift the citrus and vanilla, or stir it into an Old Fashioned.
