Blanton's 2024 Straight from the Barrel - 750ml

Blanton's Straight From The Barrel is a cask-strength expression that sits among the top tier of bourbon releases in terms of alcohol by volume. It is created with Mash Bill #2, a sour mash consisting of corn, malted barley, and extra rye, and it rests in American White Oak casks to mature. The result is a potent, richly concentrated spirit that clocks in at 130.9 proof (65.40% ABV). This bottle showcases the same fundamental Blanton’s character—yet with an intensified, unfiltered intensity that invites careful sipping and slow exploration.
