A carton blank and carton having a reclosable tear open pour spout for dispensing contents of the carton is provided. The carton includes a plurality of side walls hingedly connected to one another by way of fold lines, a top wall and a bottom wall, with one of the side walls including an outer layer and an inner layer adhesively secured thereto. A discharge opening is formed in the inner layer, and a closure flap is integrally formed in the outer layer for overlying the discharge opening. A lift tab is also integrally formed in the outer layer and extends from the closure flap for opening the closure flap, with a tear strip also being integrally formed in the outer layer for releasing the lift tab to allow the consumer ready access to the lift tab to open the carton. The inner layer includes an adhesive area formed by a pair of adhesive regions which extend substantially parallel to the fold line between the side walls while an area, devoid of adhesive, which extends from the discharge opening and between the adhesive regions is maintained.
