A Kentucky whiskey of exceptional power and unique aromatic richness

Blanton's, pioneer of Single Barrel bourbon

The Blanton’s distillery finds its origins within the Buffalo Trace Distillery, located in Frankfort, Kentucky. It owes its name to Colonel Albert B. Blanton, an emblematic figure of the establishment he ran from 1912 to 1953. A pioneer in the art of barrel selection, Blanton had a habit of personally choosing the best barrels stored in the famous "Warehouse H" for his distinguished guests.

Straight from the Barrel, the most intense expression of Blanton's

Iconic bottle, created in 1984 by master distiller Elmer T. Lee, Blanton's is recognized as the first single barrel bourbon marketed in the United States. Each bottle comes from a single barrel, guaranteeing unique aromatic profiles, while the metal H warehouse accelerates aging. Blanton's stands out for its collectable caps and historical heritage.

Representing the purest and most intense expression of the range, this exceptional American whiskey is bottled directly from the barrel, without reduction or cold filtration, thus preserving all its aromatic richness and natural power. This straight bourbon pays tribute to Colonel Blanton, who was at the head of the distillery from 1912 to 1953. The founder of Blanton’s was inspired by this illustrious predecessor in abandoning the principle of barrel rotation, allowing each barrel to develop a unique aromatic character. The result is a precise and generous bourbon.
