Blanton’s Takara Red Edition Blanton’s Bourbon Barrel Head. Blanton’s Takara Red Edition Produced exclusively for the Japanese export market at 93 proof, Blanton's Takara Red Edition Single Barrel is one of the most elusive, hard-to-find bourbon whiskeys in the world. Striking a similar resemblance to the Original Single Barrel, the Takara Red Edition undergoes an 8-year minimum aged barrel selection process (as opposed to the standard 6), which produces a more complex, robust, and refined tasting experience. Created for exceptional smoothness and a clean finish, this bourbon is made with a sour mash of corn, rye, and malted barley before maturing in American White Oak casks.
The nose is powerful and dry with honey, rye, dried fruits, vanilla, and chocolate. The palate is full and rich with sharp apricot notes alongside butter, pepper, honey, and oak. The finish is long with toffee apples developing to pecan and caramel. Please note: the wax seals around Blanton's corks are prone to cracking. Made exclusively for the Japanese market. Blanton’s Bourbon Barrel Head is an authentic, used bourbon barrel head. Each one is unique, perfect for any bourbon lover. The barrel head is 21 inches in diameter.
