Blanton's : Single Barrel #350 Rick #41 Itinéraires Collection

Characteristics and tasting advice for Blanton's Single Barrel #350 Rick #41 Itinéraires Collection

Tasting

Nose
Delicate and subtle, the nose exudes notes of vanilla, lemon, mustard seed, incense, new oak, and acacia honey. As it aerates, a heady floral character (broom, iris), fruity (mirabelle plum), balsamic (Armenian paper), and camphor emerge.

Palate
Broad and energetic, echoing the nose, the palate combines a fine tannic structure with tropical accents (pineapple, banana), corn, and spiced infusion (cardamom tea, clove, nutmeg). The finish is fresh and elegant.

The power and refinement of a Kentucky single barrel bourbon

Blanton's, the pioneer of Kentucky single barrel bourbon
Created in 1984 by master distiller Elmer T. Lee at the Buffalo Trace Distillery, Blanton's is the first single barrel bourbon ever marketed, thus revolutionizing the American whiskey industry. Named in tribute to Colonel Albert B. Blanton, the legendary president of the distillery from 1921 to 1952, this premium bourbon upholds a tradition of excellence. Produced at the Buffalo Trace Distillery (owned by Sazerac Company), the Blanton's brand belongs to Age International (Takara Shuzo group) and is distinguished by its privileged aging in Warehouse H and its artisanal production: each bottle comes from a single barrel, selected by hand. Its collectible stoppers depicting eight phases of a horse race spelling out "BLANTON'S" are its iconic signature.

Single Barrel #350 Rick #41 Itinéraires Collection: an exceptional bourbon
Blanton's Single Barrel #350 Rick #41 Itinéraires Collection embodies the excellence of Buffalo Trace's artisanal production. This American bourbon comes exclusively from barrel number 350, positioned at rick 41 in the legendary Warehouse H. This precise location in the warehouse directly influences the whiskey’s aromatic profile, with temperature and humidity variations creating unique maturation conditions.

Bottled at 50% ABV, this single barrel offers controlled power that reveals all the complexity of Kentucky bourbon. Unlike traditional blends, each bottle captures the unique identity of a single barrel, selected for its exceptional qualities. This approach guarantees an authentic and non-replicable expression of the distillery's expertise. The bottle is presented in a case and stands out with its racehorse-shaped stopper, sealed with wax. This wax, particularly delicate, reflects the artisanal character of the product but requires careful handling during transport and opening.
