All Gold Everything

Available this summer, Buffalo Trace Distillery has confirmed that Blanton’s Gold Edition is coming to the US for the first time ever.

The whiskey is the same as standard Blanton’s in every way, bar a 10 point proof increase (from 93 to 103). That means it’s still a single barrel product, aged between 6 and 8 years, made with a high-rye bourbon mashbill and, as always, will come with the unique bottle stoppers and dump date trimmings Blanton’s fans seek. Buffalo Trace says the product will be available as an annual release in the US and retail for $120.

Blanton’s Gold is a familiar sight for bourbon drinkers outside the US (especially in Japan). The line includes Gold, Special Reserve (called Green) and a barrel proof variant called Straight From the Barrel. Gold is the first of the international Blanton’s lineup to come the US.
