With numerous awards under its belt, Blanton’s—or, “Blanton’s Single Barrel Bourbon,” as it was originally known—is deserving of a spot on any Bourbon lover’s bar. Since it’s a single barrel bourbon, there can be slight variations, but we’ve found the nose to be packed with delicious vanilla and caramel notes, and, while the finish leaves a little to be desired, the overall aroma and taste are more than fantastic. Even if you don’t want to drink it often, the bottle looks mighty fine on any home bar, as the unique bottle shape and iconic horse and jockey topper are hard to miss. Not to mention, Frank Underwood drank it in House of Cards, and it’d be wise to agree with Frank.
