🥃 Don’t miss a pour — Subscribe to the channel: / @nordenleacoxlaw
In this episode, Nick and Zach take us back to the bottle that sparked Nick’s obsession with bourbon- Blanton’s. It all started with a spontaneous bottle hunt in Charleston and has since grown into a collection of over 250 bottles. Nick shares what makes Blanton’s so iconic, from its title as the world’s first single-barrel bourbon to the legacy of Elmer T. Lee and Albert Bacon Blanton.
They explore the unique aging process inside the all-metal Warehouse H, break down the flavor profile, and explain why hand-dumped bottles are so prized. You’ll also hear how Blanton’s initially flopped in the U.S., only to explode in popularity after taking off in Japan. Plus, they dive into the collectible horse toppers, the elusive Gold and Straight from the Barrel editions, and share tips on how to track down a bottle without getting burned on the secondary market.
