Bourbon Talk

[JAB]

the only reason I'm still on the hunt for blantons is the toppers. much better juice on the market for that price.

LOL, I have a buddy that always gets me a bottle of Blanton's for Christmas. He always swaps out the the topper before wrapping.

Just picked this up on whim. I’ll find out if it’s good tonight.

Just started my first pour of it and it’s not as harsh as you would expect. The quick hit review is its fruity on the nose and hits like a spicy Granny Smith apple. It’s almost hard to describe. If you blind pour with 3-4 other bourbons you would probably say “wtf is that?” when you taste it. Very different than what I normally buy, but I like it. Great change of pace.

I haven’t had a pour from this bottle since before covid, time to give it some life. Second glass of the night…
