The nose, palate, and finish all are very pleasing and this bourbon delivers a great sip from start to finish. This is a pretty consistent bourbon across the board when it comes to flavor profile. Really a shame that they make consumers go out of their way to try it, because I find the bolder flavor profile to be more well rounded than what you currently see in other Buffalo Trace single barrel products. It’s interesting to see what just a slight increase in proof can do to really bring out the flavor profile of the Blanton’s brand. The Gold Edition allows you to taste Blanton’s at a proof that offers full flavor without overpowering you from the increased alcohol. I wish more products would do this as it allows consumers to buy the version that’s best suited for their preferred proof range. It’s one of the few products on the market that allows you to do a side by side comparison of a brand at multiple proof points. If you enjoy Blanton’s Original Single Barrel, this is one of two opportunities to try a higher proofed version from the distillery, the other being Blanton’s Straight from the Barrel. ![]() At 103 proof, Blanton’s Gold Edition comes in 10 proof points higher than Blanton’s Original Single Barrel that you can buy in the U.S., which is sold at 93 proof. Blanton’s Gold Edition is only sold to select non-U.S.
