Drinking Blanton’s Gold: Rare Bourbon with Glassware Guru Denver Cramer
Description
We’re pouring something a little extra special today — Blanton’s Gold. And to match the pour, we’re joined by someone extra special too: Denver Cramer from legendary Aussie glassware company Denver & Liely.
This one’s part bourbon tasting, part banter, and part deep appreciation for what makes bourbon and glassware such a great pairing. We talk about:
The real reason Blanton’s Gold is smoother than you'd expect at 51.5%
Why Aussies (and the Japanese) got the good stuff first
What bourbon means to Denver… and his partner
And whether he actually owns more than one shirt
It’s rich, relaxed, and full of gold—both in the glass and in the stories.
