Blanton's Straight From the Barrel is a single barrel bourbon bottled at full barrel strength, 129 proof in this bottle.
It is the only Blanton's that is not chill filtered, and because each bottle comes from one barrel, proof varies from barrel to barrel.
The distiller describes dark chocolate, caramel and butter with walnut and hazelnut, a palate of warm vanilla, oak and toasted nuts, and a deep, resonant finish.
