🏅 Brotherhood of the Barrel Release: Blanton’s Gold 🏅

The Olympics come around once every four years… but a barrel like this? Even rarer.
We’re proud to release a Brotherhood of the Barrel Blanton’s Gold selection that takes everything you love about Blanton’s and turns it all the way up.

On the nose, it’s Blanton’s on steroids. Rich, sweet, oily, and beautifully viscous. The palate follows with a bold wave of sweetness before evolving into a layered spice that builds through the mid-palate and carries into a long finish. It drinks with brawn but keeps it balanced and classy at 103 proof. This is depth, power, and elegance all in one bottle.

Available starting at 1pm TODAY at both Sterling Heights and St. Clair Shores Wine Garden locations. $179.99 limit 2 per person and when it’s gone… it’s gone. Trust us, this one won’t last four years.

If you want to take this thoroughbred a ride around the track, it’s available at the Best Kept Secret for $15/oz. Make your reservation today!
