Tasting Notes by tabendar

Decent start to the higher end bourbons but dominated by corn from start to finish. Slightly limited in scope but would be good to mix perhaps.

Blanton's from 2 bottles have I sampled. I actively disliked both. Having said that this bourbon is so popular in some circles that there must be some barrels out there somewhere that I would like.

@tabender, you might consider trying Blanton's over a few different days, and then include additional nosing and tasting experiences. That would give us more information to see where you are coming from on this. Which high-end bourbons do you like better, and can you say why?

@Victor, I have had my bottle for over a year, and I too, have never developed an interest in it. I'll try it again over the weekend to see what I don't like about it :)
