Description
Handpicked directly from the center of the Blanton warehouse, Blanton's Original Single Barrel Bourbon, as the world's first commercially sold single barrel bourbon, certainly lives up to its label as a 'super premium' spirit. Originally reserved for dignitaries, VIPs and the Master Distiller himself, this bourbon only became available on the commercial market in 1984 after almost 50 years in existence. Kept in the center of the warehouse, allowing for maximum expansion and contraction of the barrel, resulting in the most intense flavor and characteristics, this bourbon is not only unique, but exceptionally refined.
A smooth, balanced body infused with vanilla, caramel, honey apple and spices at the forefront lead to a creamy midpalate and end with a lingering honey oak finish.
A distinguished Kentucky straight bourbon whiskey, celebrated as the first modern single barrel bourbon introduced to the market in 1984. Crafted at the Buffalo Trace Distillery, it pays homage to Colonel Albert B. Blanton, a pivotal figure in the distillery's history.
