Blanton’s Char No. 4 2022 Limited Edition

Blanton’s Char No. 4 2022 Limited Edition – 700 mL

Overview
Blanton’s Char No. 4 2022 Limited Edition is an ultra-rare, collectible single barrel bourbon that highlights the powerful influence of heavy barrel charring on whiskey character. Named after the “Char No. 4” (alligator char) — the deepest level of barrel char — this release emphasizes rich caramelization, smoky depth, and intensified oak complexity. Hand-selected from the legendary Warehouse H, this limited release was produced in extremely small quantities, making it one of the most sought-after Blanton’s expressions among collectors and enthusiasts.

🥃 Tasting Notes
