Blanton's Original Single Barrel Bourbon Whiskey – 93 Proof (46.5% ABV) | 750ml

Legendary, collectible, and exceptionally smooth, Blanton's Original Single Barrel Bourbon Whiskey is one of the most iconic bourbons ever produced. Bottled at 46.5% ABV (93 proof) in a 750ml bottle, this Kentucky straight bourbon was introduced in 1984 and is widely recognized as the world’s first commercially marketed single barrel bourbon, setting the standard for the category.

Process & Profile

Blanton’s is produced at the historic Buffalo Trace Distillery in Frankfort, Kentucky. Unlike blended bourbons that combine whiskey from many barrels, every bottle of Blanton’s is drawn from one carefully selected barrel, ensuring each release carries its own unique character and subtle variations in flavor. The barrels are typically sourced from the famous Warehouse H, known for producing exceptionally balanced and refined whiskey.

Each bottle is hand-labeled with details including the barrel number, warehouse location, and dump date, emphasizing the craftsmanship and individuality behind every release.

Tasting Notes

Blanton’s opens with a rich nose of creamy vanilla, caramel, and butterscotch layered with hints of citrus zest and baking spice. The palate is smooth and complex, delivering notes of honeyed oak, toasted nuts, warm cinnamon, and subtle fruit. The finish is long and balanced, leaving lingering impressions of brown sugar, spice, and gentle oak.

What Makes It Special

Blanton’s stands out for its single barrel craftsmanship, collectible packaging, and historic significance in the bourbon world. Each bottle is topped with the famous horse and jockey stopper, with eight different designs that depict stages of a horse race—making them highly collectible among enthusiasts.

The result is a bourbon that combines tradition, artistry, and exceptional flavor, making it a staple for collectors and serious whiskey drinkers alike.

How to Enjoy

Blanton’s Original is best enjoyed neat or with a splash of water to open up its layered aromas and flavors. It can also elevate classic bourbon cocktails like an Old Fashioned or Manhattan, though many enthusiasts prefer sipping it slowly to appreciate the unique character of each barrel.
