BLANTON’S Single Barrel #563 Foundations

$420.00

Limited to around 200 bottles, this is an LMDW exclusive. Created by Elmer T. Lee, the iconic master distiller of the Ancient Age distillery (renamed Buffalo Trace in 1999), the first barrel-by-barrel bottled bourbon is celebrating its 40th anniversary this year.

It pays tribute to Colonel Albert Bacon Blanton, who led the distillery from 1912 to 1952 and notably advocated for abandoning the barrel rotation system in the warehouses.

Remarkable for its finesse and smoothness, this particularly expressive single barrel offers an endless source of fruity, spicy, and grainy aromas and flavors with great purity.

Never short on appeal, its aromatic and flavor profile reveals unexpected notes of blackcurrant bud in the aftertaste.

Tasting Notes


Colour
: Old gold with copper highlights.

Nose : Expansive, airy. Nobly spiced (pink pepper, saffron), heady (iris, geranium), and grainy (corn), the aromatic profile is remarkable for its finesse and precision. With aeration, it becomes more camphorated and peppery (Cayenne). Gradually, dried fruits (almond, pecan) and citrus zest (grapefruit, lemon) blend harmoniously.

Palate : Straightforward, refined. Delightfully aniseed and spiced (cardamom), the flavor profile quickly evolves into complex grainy territories (corn, rye, malted barley). Over time, cocoa beans and vanilla pods lend it smoothness and freshness. Flavors of banana and pineapple then add a very pleasant exotic touch.

Finish : Long, balanced. Gourmet (vanilla flan) and velvety (peach skin), the tasting moves towards more honeyed (lavender, acacia), roasted (coffee), and infused (elderflower) notes. Then, in retro-olfaction, unexpectedly, superb notes of blackcurrant bud take over the palate.
