Blanton's Black Label for Japan is a bourbon whiskey with an exclusive, delicate taste and a smooth texture. It is made for Japan only with Buffalo Trace High Rye #2 mash. It is aged in new charred American oak barrels and bottled at 40% strength. Blanton's Black Label for Japan is a special edition and has a longer aging period than ordinary bottles: at least 8 years. This gives it an even more complex taste. The taste initially shows sweet aromas of honey and roasted cumin, dried apricots and cherries and herbs such as rosemary, cinnamon and cloves. After a while you can taste liquorice, pineapple and dried cherries, but also vanilla and roasted oak. Made only for export markets like Japan, this whiskey is truly one of a kind... the ultimate choice for any serious bourbon lover!
