Blanton's LMDW 2020 Edition Bourbon 700mL is a highly collectible Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey created exclusively for La Maison du Whisky (LMDW) as part of its 2020 “French Connection” series. Distilled at Buffalo Trace Distillery and matured in the legendary metal-clad Warehouse H, the 2020 collection consisted of individually selected single barrels bottled specifically for the French and select international markets. Unlike standard Blanton’s releases, the 2020 LMDW collection included several different barrel selections and proof levels, making individual bottles especially distinctive and desirable among Blanton’s collectors.

The 2020 LMDW edition showcases an intense and complex interpretation of the classic Blanton’s profile. Aromas of caramel, vanilla, ripe berries, citrus, honey, and toasted oak lead into a rich palate featuring dark fruit, vanilla, toffee, citrus, baking spice, chocolate, and seasoned oak. The finish is long and warming, with lingering fruit, honeyed sweetness, spice, toasted nuts, and oak.
