Why Liquor Geeks recommends it

This is a single barrel Kentucky straight bourbon from the historic Buffalo Trace Distillery, produced exclusively for the Japanese market through Takara Shuzo and dressed in a distinctive red label. Like every Blanton's expression, each bottle is drawn from an individual barrel aged in Warehouse H. The profile leans soft and elegant. Caramel, vanilla and honey lead the nose alongside citrus, light florals and oak. The palate is smooth and balanced, with toasted oak and light spice, before a medium-long finish of lingering sweetness. It suits two kinds of drinkers. Collectors of Japanese-market bourbons will prize the presentation, from the signature round bottle to the horse-and-jockey stopper. Enthusiasts who simply want a gentle, well-rounded pour will find it easy to enjoy neat or with a small splash of water. We carry it because it brings an export edition originally intended for Japan to enthusiasts here, and it backs up that presentation with the refined, approachable character that has earned it a strong following.

Pairs well with

Crème brûlée — The custard's burnt-sugar top echoes the bourbon's caramel and vanilla, while the gentle oak keeps the pairing from turning too sweet.
Honey-glazed roast pork — A honey glaze picks up the honey and baking-spice notes on the palate and plays well against the soft, lingering finish.
Collector's evening tasting flight — Its smooth, balanced profile and distinctive red-label presentation make it a natural centerpiece for comparing single barrel bourbons with friends.
