Taste
Blanton's Poland 2018 is a unique spirit that was produced for M&P Wine and Spirits Festival, in Poland. This bourbon is made with Mash Bill #2, a sour mash of corn, malted barley, and extra rye, which gives it a distinctive character. It is then matured in American White Oak casks, allowing it to develop depth and complexity. The nose on this one is rich and complex with aromas of orange, candy corn, wood, clover, pecans, and a whiff of tobacco, creating an inviting bouquet. The finish is sweet and satisfying, with subtle hints of vanilla that linger, making it a truly memorable tasting experience.

History
Blanton's Poland 2018 is best known as "liquid gold"! It was produced in 1984 under the guidance of Elmer T. Lee, Master distiller at the George T. Stagg Distillery, now known as the famous Buffalo Trace Distillery. There he worked with Colonel Albert Bacon Blanton, the President of the Distillery from 1921-1951. During the time he worked for him, he noticed that whenever there were ambassadors, dignitaries, and Colonel Blanton's family and friends, he would always choose a bottle aged at warehouse H at Buffalo Trace. Which is the only metal-clad warehouse at the distillery, built shortly after prohibition. Being metal meant it created a lot of temperature fluctuation because the metal doesn't insulate and would change how the whisky aged. They are aged 6-8 years and have a higher rye content. Blanton's is all about quality and only produces a limited amount, which is what makes them so hard to obtain. In 1999, there were eight different horse stoppers added to the bottles of Blanton's. Each stopper has a letter circled on the lower left side to spell out “B-L-A-N-T-O-N'-S.” After, lined up the stoppers display different positions of a horse race. They are visible upon purchase, even though some letters are hard to find. Blanton assures fans that it produces the same number of each, every year. Blanton's found overseas will be 700 ml, while domestic releases are 750 ml. This rich history and attention to detail contribute to the allure and desirability of Blanton's, making it a cherished item among whisky connoisseurs and collectors alike, further solidifying its reputation as a premium bourbon.
