Blanton's Gold. Image courtesy Buffalo Trace.This bourbon is seldom found in the U.S., and the nose is rich with dark chocolate, vanilla, and caramel notes with hints of pears and cherries. The taste is creamy and smooth with honey, dark chocolate, oak, and vanilla notes. The finish is long, sweet, and creamy with notes of caramel syrup, cherries, and vanilla. Smooth, rich, and consistent…a classic!
