The original single barrel. A true bourbon icon.
Blanton’s Original Single Barrel is the bourbon that started it all. First released in 1984, it was the world’s first modern single-barrel bourbon, setting the standard for the category. Each bottle is hand-selected from the center of Warehouse H at Buffalo Trace Distillery and aged between 6 to 9 years before being bottled at 93 proof (46.5% ABV).
Tasting Notes:
-
Aroma: Vanilla, caramel, citrus peel, toasted oak, and baking spices
-
Palate: Rich and smooth with notes of orange, butterscotch, raisin, chocolate, and subtle spice
-
Finish: Medium-length with soft oak, honey, cinnamon, and a touch of dried fruit
Presented in its signature round bottle with the iconic horse-and-jockey stopper, every bottle of Blanton’s Original is a unique, single-barrel experience.
