Blanton's Bourbon

At Wine and Wallop. I'm drinking this. Yes it does say 64.4%.

Some kind of limited edition Kentuckian single-barrel bourbon. Be careful, the barman said, the first mouthful does burn slightly. He was right. Ah, but the second mouthful though, the second was sublime. I had the impression of an infinite wave of complex hydrocarbon molecules stretching back to the seconds after the big bang and on into eternity. I couldn't tell you what the subsequent mouthfuls tasted like.
