Blanton’s Special Reserve Red Label 93 Proof – Japanese Import is a rare and highly sought-after expression crafted exclusively for the Japanese market. Bottled at 93 proof (46.5% ABV), this single barrel bourbon is matured for a minimum of 8 years, resulting in a more intricate and sophisticated flavor profile. The nose offers a pleasant mix of caramel, honey, and cherry cola, with hints of rye spice, chocolate, and plum. On the palate, initial flavors of caramel, cherries, and baking spices dominate, transitioning into notes of oak and leather. The finish is moderate in length, retaining baking spices, oak, and burnt caramel. This expression stands out with its distinctive red label and packaging, making it a prized addition for collectors and connoisseurs alike.
