Selected by La Maison du Whisky — one of the world's most respected whisky retailers — from Warehouse H at Buffalo Trace. The 2020 edition of the annual LMDW Blanton's single barrel program.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eLa Maison du Whisky has maintained an annual partnership with Buffalo Trace for retailer-exclusive Blanton's single barrel selections, bottled at cask strength — a specification never available through standard U.S. retail. The 2020 selection continues this program: a specific barrel from Warehouse H, chosen by the LMDW buying team, bottled at its natural proof to showcase the full character of the spirit before dilution.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eThe detailed tasting notes for the 2020 LMDW selection reflect the extraordinary complexity of Warehouse H bourbon at cask strength: an elegant raspberry brandy nose transitioning through floral, mineral, and grain notes, with a palate of pure distillate character, citrus, coconut milk, and dark chocolate, closing with blackcurrant, bramble, and a praline-honeyed rose retro-nasal finish. It is widely considered one of the finest retailer-exclusive Blanton's selections produced.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e\u003csmall\u003ePlease note: Due to Blanton's wax seal design, minor cracking or seepage may occur during transit.
