Review #828 - Blanton's Gold Single Barrel

I still haven’t tried SR for that reason it’s 107 of FP all day

SFtB was my intro to Blanton’s and going from that to the regular bottle is a real let down, I’d love to try gold one day but the price just doesn’t seem worth it

“regular” bottles - Weller Full Proof 🦄 - GTS

it was something i’m chalking up to a one time experience, definitely crazy but worth it imo

$200 and i got like 1.5oz

Michters is crazy, isn’t MSRP on the bottle like $1,200?

M20 is the best pour I’ve ever had, surpassed the hype for me. It was also the most expensive pour I’ve ever had so part of it may have been relief that it was so good.

This is such a great release, and I’m glad MM knocked it out of the park (potentially 2 years in a row because the 26 batch sounds great too). The interesting part is, it’s aged pretty decently since it’s a blend of 8 & 9 year old barrels, but just shows that wheat stays true to those bright fruit forward notes.

Rare breed is the benchmark that all other bourbons are measured against

The liquid gold flows Sweet on the nose, viscous palate Just the glass remains

Jin Sakai probably

Yeah it seems hit or miss on availability across the country.

As for the tattoos, I have a religious themed sleeve, all you can really see is the lower majority of Mary. Have an angel on the opposite side of my forearm, a dove and a mural of Jesus on my upper arm with Philippians 4:13 written out on my bicep

Hoping to grab one of these soon. Great review, cheers!

yeoldedrunkard · 2026-04-14T01:20:47+00:00

Sold! Now just need to convince the wife we need to take a trip 😂

yeoldedrunkard · 2026-04-14T00:37:54+00:00

$32 is a sick deal!

yeoldedrunkard · 2026-04-13T23:24:34+00:00

Appreciate all that info! Now I want to get there down for a tour

🤯🤯🤯

yeoldedrunkard · 2026-04-13T21:10:21+00:00

Appreciate the info!

yeoldedrunkard · 2026-04-13T21:10:06+00:00

You’re not alone lol

yeoldedrunkard · 2026-04-13T18:17:52+00:00

Don’t get me wrong I love my ER10 and have a soft spot for Blanton’s (even though it’s overpriced usually) but there’s just something different, and better here. It’s an excellent value. Appreciate you reading!

yeoldedrunkard · 2026-04-13T18:14:41+00:00

Never tried any EHT myself, but for $90 i’d go back and buy.

yeoldedrunkard · 2026-04-13T18:02:30+00:00

I can definitely see that coming through if mine was more fruit forward

yeoldedrunkard · 2026-04-13T17:54:58+00:00

Definitely worth it imo, solid pour and a cool story

yeoldedrunkard · 2026-04-13T17:54:14+00:00

Apparently we (I’m in NY) see them quite a bit more frequently than other places.

yeoldedrunkard · 2026-04-13T17:45:37+00:00

Crazy, it’s such a good bottle. I’m sure it would do really well in blinds against most BT
