    I've done this very blind before (with a few LMDW's thrown in as well as a honey barrel) and taking the top end ones out Gold came out on top for me. I love me some Red though, I have a bottle at home, as well as a black, SFTB, and regular. Honey barrel is the creme de la creme though. Probably the best bourbon I've ever had, although the Maker's Cellar Aged is right up there with it.

  • @WhiskeyBusinessFL
    @WhiskeyBusinessFL 7 месяцев назад

    Amazing video. I found a Blanton's STFB today for MSRP and was shocked. I obviously had to pick it up, but it's good to know that the normal Blanton's ranks as high as it does.

  • @An.Ge.
    @An.Ge. 7 месяцев назад +2

    Hey guys, I appreciate your blind tastings. The only issue I encounter is with barrel-strength whiskey, where adding a few drops of water can enhance the experience.
    Just because it comes out of the bottle at that strength doesn't necessarily mean it's the best way to enjoy it.

  • @ForsytheGaming
    @ForsytheGaming 7 месяцев назад +5

    A friend bought me a Gold and Special Reserve as thanks for some reno work, and it was the first Blanton's I'd ever had. I couldn't believe how bleh the Special Reserve was but the Gold was phenominal. Snagged a regular to give myself the full comparison and ya, Special Reserve has a cool bottle (I dare say that green is the best color for a bottle with a horse on the top, and the Gold and the gold horse topper are the worst looking), but it was just such boring bourbon. It doesn't taste anything like regular or gold at all, blindly I'd just assume it was a different companies boubon.

    I agree here. I love Blanton’s gold. SFTB just seems to have a different flavor profile than Blanton’s. I have had some good SFTB’s, but I hade had some mediocre ones as well. It can be a little proofy. I don’t think I have ever had a bad Blanton’s Gold.

  • @TheDwarfInvasion

    My takeaway here is that getting a good barrel is the most important thing because there are pretty disappointing barrels out there. My standard blantons at home was really disappointing. Maybe store picks are worth the premium? Havent had one.

    I recently got a Blantons Gold and a Regular one back in the release here(BC) in June. The regular I think is fantastic, but the gold is super hot at first then rolls into the flavor profile. Most of my friends that had both liked the regular better as it was easier to drink in general.
