An exceptional single barrel bourbon from Kentucky

Blanton's, a pioneer of single barrel in Kentucky

Created in 1984 by master distiller Elmer T. Lee at Buffalo Trace Distillery, Blanton's is the first single barrel bourbon marketed on a large scale, thus revolutionizing the American whiskey industry (Kentucky, United States). Named in tribute to Colonel Albert B. Blanton, the legendary distillery director from 1912 to 1953, this bourbon ages exclusively in Warehouse H, a unique metal rickhouse that accelerates maturation. Blanton's stands out for its rigorous single-barrel method: each bottle comes from a single barrel selected by hand, with no blending. Its collectible stoppers depicting a horse race are its iconic signature.

Single Barrel Bourbon: an exclusive selection by Blanton's

This exclusive expression embodies the excellence of the single-barrel philosophy. Bottled at 50% ABV, this american whiskey comes from barrel number 25, located at Rick 43 in the legendary Warehouse H of the Buffalo Trace distillery in Kentucky. Built in 1934, this metal rickhouse offers unique aging conditions that confer a distinctive personality on the bourbon.

First marketed in the United States in 1984, then in Japan in 1985, Blanton's laid the foundation for modern single barrel bourbon. Each cask is selected individually for its exceptional qualities, ensuring a unique and non-replicable expression. The traditional mashbill combines corn, barley, and rye to create a rich and complex aromatic profile.

This bottle is presented in its original gift box and features the famous racehorse-shaped stopper, an emblematic element of the brand. This is an official distillery bottling, guaranteeing the product’s authenticity and quality.
