The original. The benchmark. The bourbon that started it all.

Blanton’s Original Single Barrel is the world’s first commercially available single-barrel bourbon, launched in 1984 and still hand-selected today from the center of Warehouse H at Buffalo Trace Distillery. Aged for 6 to 9 years and bottled at 93 proof (46.5% ABV), each bottle offers a unique taste shaped by its individual barrel.

Tasting Notes:

• Aroma: Vanilla, caramel, citrus, toasted oak, and warm baking spices

• Palate: Smooth and rich with notes of orange peel, butterscotch, raisins, and hints of chocolate and spice

• Finish: Medium length with soft oak, cinnamon, and a touch of corn sweetness

Presented in its iconic bottle with the signature horse-and-jockey stopper, Blanton’s Original is a true collector’s classic and a favorite among bourbon enthusiasts around the world.
