Basket donated by Rood & Riddle Equine Hospital includes three select, rare bourbons:
Blanton’s Original Single Barrel Bourbon Whiskey, taken from the center-cut sections of the famous Warehouse H, Blanton’s Original Single Barrel was once designated for ambassadors, dignitaries, and Colonel Blanton’s family and friends. Today, everyone has access to the world’s first single barrel bourbon. The taste profile is sweet, with notes of citrus and oak. The creamy vanilla nose is teased with caramel and butterscotch, all underscored by familiar baking spices such as clove, nutmeg, or cinnamon. Blanton’s Original set the standard for single barrel bourbons in 1984.
Angel’s Envy Kentucky Straight Bourbon is finished in port wine casks for an award-winning spirit. Each batch is conditioned, blended and handcrafted in small batches of 8 to 12 barrels at a time and aged for up to 6 years. Approximately 5% of the spirit is lost to evaporation each year, leaving behind “the Angel’s Share”. Once it’s deemed ready, the bourbon is finished in ruby port wine casks from Portugal made from French oak, which creates a whiskey of unprecedented smoothness, sweetness and balance. This is one of only a handful of the 2023 bottles considered to be exceptional enough for release as cask strength with its lengthy finishing process.
Woodford Reserve Barrel Finish Select Double Double Oaked is a masterful expression of Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey. A part of the exclusive Barrel Finish Select Series, this unique bourbon undergoes an extended aging process and is finished in heavily toasted new oak barrels. The result is a whiskey rich in character, offering an exceptional depth of flavor and complexity rarely encountered in American whiskey.
