Welcome to the inaugural episode of Character Proof! Host Tim Fulton kicks things off with the holy hand grenade of bourbon itself: Blanton’s Single Barrel. After breaking down the classic vanilla, caramel, and sweet oak tasting notes of this notoriously allocated pour, Tim dives into a hilarious character study of the exact guy hoarding it. Meet Marcus: a 41-year-old Regional Director of Sales who spends his Tuesday mornings staking out strip-mall liquor stores, treats his finished basement like a museum, and lies awake at night agonizing over his missing "N" stopper. Pour yourself a dram (even if it’s just the decoy Buffalo Trace) and join us for our very first round of tasting notes and character flaws.
