Inside Blanton’s Straight from the Barrel Black

Better still, pair it with Blanton’s Gold Label for a side by side tasting.

Bourbon Context Worth Knowing

Getting the Best from Blanton’s Straight from the Barrel Black

Treat Blanton’s Straight from the Barrel Black well and it repays the effort. A large ice cube slows dilution and keeps the pour cold.

Just as important, a Glencairn glass concentrates aroma better than a tumbler. In fact, Blanton’s Bourbon Blooper Bottle Broken Wax makes a natural next bottle.
