The Story
120 proof. 2025. Live Barrel. 700ml. Blanton's La Maison du Whiskey — the cask strength 'Live Barrel' variant of the 2025 LMDW annual exclusive, bottled at 120 proof versus the standard 2025 LMDW expression (also in the collection) presented at lower proof.
La Maison du Whiskey's Live Barrel designation identifies single barrel expressions bottled at natural cask strength — the 'live' proof directly from the barrel without dilution. At 120 proof, the 2025 Live Barrel sits 20+ proof points above the standard Blanton's Original Single Barrel (93 proof) and represents the highest-proof standard LMDW exclusive format. Having both the standard 2025 LMDW and the Live Barrel 120 proof expression in the Wooden Cork collection simultaneously offers a direct within-year proof comparison of the same LMDW program.
