Blanton’s Gold Edition Bourbon — Complete Horse Collection (8 × 750 mL)
Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey | Approx. 51.5% ABV (103 Proof) | 8 × 750 mL Bottles | Kentucky, USA
Process & Profile
The Blanton’s Gold Edition Complete Horse Collection assembles all eight individual bottles of the Gold Edition from the revered Blanton’s brand, each featuring a unique horse-and-jockey stopper. The Gold Edition itself represents an elevated single-barrel expression of Blanton’s bourbon, typically bottled at higher proof than the standard version. Each bottle in this collection is drawn from a single cask, non-blended, and showcases the full character of that barrel.
Tasting Notes
-
Nose: Rich and golden amber colour, with aromas of dark caramel, honeyed vanilla, dried citrus peel, and oak spice.
-
Palate: Smooth yet robust, offering toffee, roasted nuts, dark fruit (plum/black cherry), and gentle rye spice layered under warm oak.
-
Finish: Long and graceful, with lingering notes of toasted oak, dark chocolate, subtle smoke, and a refined wood-driven dryness.

How to Enjoy
While this collection has strong appeal as a display or collector’s set, each individual bottle can be enjoyed:
-
Serve neat in a Glencairn or tulip glass at room temperature to appreciate full depth.

If desired, add a few drops of water or a large ice cube to soften the higher proof and reveal new aromatic layers.
-
Pair with dark chocolate, roasted pecans, black walnut dessert, or rich smoked meats to match the bourbon’s depth and complexity.
