Indulge in an evening at home where you and your 11 guests will enjoy a private Bourbon Experience with the legendary Coach Skotty Wannamaker. You'll be treated to tastings from Skotty's own personal Blanton's lineup accompanied by insights into the spirits' origins and the meticulous craft behind single barrels. In addition, each tasting will be enhanced by delectable food from GIA: Drink, Eat, Listen.

Blanton's lineup:

1. Blanton's Green Label 700ml: With 80 proof, this Special Reserve Green Bottle Bourbon is perfect for bourbon enthusiasts new to single barrel varieties. A mix of floral and vanilla notes, with undertones of cedar and raisin, make it a delightful choice.

2. Blanton's Red Label 750ml: Originally crafted for the Japanese market, this premium expression is aged an additional 2 years compared to the Original Single Barrel Bourbon, offering a heightened sense of maturity and complexity.

3. Blanton's Gold Label 700ml: Meticulously created for bourbon aficionados seeking exceptional smoothness and complexity, Blanton's Gold Edition Bourbon Whiskey makes a lasting impression with its velvety texture and intricate flavor profile.

4. Blanton's Black Label 750ml: Uniting exceptional smoothness and a clean finish, this bourbon is made with a sour mash of corn, rye, and malted barley, before aging in American White Oak casks. Expect a powerful and dry nose with hints of honey, vanilla, and chocolate, followed by a full and rich palate with apricot, pepper, and oak notes. The long finish reveals toffee apples transitioning into pecan and caramel.

5. Blanton's Straight From The Barrel 700ml: A true gem among bourbons, Blanton's Straight from the Barrel Bourbon Whiskey offers an unrivaled taste experience. Crafted for enthusiasts familiar with cask strength whiskeys, this bourbon captivates with notes of dark chocolate, caramel, butter, walnut, and hazelnut. The palate showcases warmth intertwined with vanilla, oak, toasted nuts, and a rich spiciness, with a suggestion of butterscotch or honey. The intense alcohol by volume is incredibly inviting, and the legendary finish simply surpasses all expectations.

6. Blanton's Original Single Barrel 750ml: Once reserved only for prestigious individuals, Colonel Blanton's family, and friends, Blanton's Original Single Barrel Whiskey represents the world's first single barrel bourbon. A sweet taste profile with inviting citrus and oak notes is complemented by creamy vanilla with hints of caramel, butterscotch, and baking spices like clove, nutmeg, or cinnamon.
