Blanton’s is still a great bourbon. It’s a lot of folks gateway bourbon, because it is one of the best looking bottles on the bar. As we progress on our bourbon journey, we quickly outgrow it. But it still has its place on my bar. Yes, there are better bourbons for less money, but I will always defend it for what it is. A great looking bottle that is easy to drink and tastes sweet and fruity and appeals to the masses. The SFTB Blanton’s is fantastic. Blanton’s popularity brings the hate and I think it’s unjustified.
