Blanton's Bourbon Collection: Original, Gold Edition & Straight From the Barrel
Experience the complete Blanton's lineup in one collection. Produced at Buffalo Trace Distillery in Frankfort, Kentucky, Blanton's was introduced in 1984 by Master Distiller Elmer T. Lee as the world's first commercially sold single barrel bourbon. It honors Colonel Albert B. Blanton, who led the distillery for more than five decades. Every bottle comes from one hand-selected barrel aged in the distillery's metal-clad Warehouse H. The warehouse heats and cools quickly with the seasons, which drives deep interaction between spirit and oak. Each bottle is hand-labeled with its barrel number, warehouse, rick location and dump date, then sealed with the brand's horse-and-jockey stopper. There are eight stopper designs, each marked with one letter of "B-L-A-N-T-O-N-S."
The collection moves through three expressions at rising strength. The Original Single Barrel (93 proof) is the honeyed, approachable classic. The Gold Edition (103 proof) adds richness and spice. Straight From the Barrel is bottled uncut and unfiltered at full barrel proof. Together they show how one bourbon changes as proof increases. The set suits side-by-side tastings, serious collectors and memorable gifts.
Blanton's Original Single Barrel Bourbon
This is the bourbon that created the single barrel category. Blanton's Original was introduced in 1984 by Elmer T. Lee at Buffalo Trace Distillery. Each bottle is drawn from a single hand-selected barrel aged in Warehouse H and bottled at 93 proof. It is made from Buffalo Trace's high-rye mash bill, and every barrel is chosen at the peak of its maturity. Each bottle carries a hand-written label and one of eight collectible horse-and-jockey stoppers.
Tasting Notes:
- Nose: Dried citrus, orange peel, caramel and vanilla.
- Palate: Honey, burnt sugar and soft baking spice, with a creamy, balanced body.
- Finish: Medium length with toasted oak, nutmeg and lingering sweetness.
Bottle Size: 750ml
Blanton's Gold Edition Single Barrel Bourbon
Long sought after by collectors, the Gold Edition was originally created for international markets. It is bottled at 103 proof for a fuller, more robust take on the Blanton's profile. Like the Original, it comes from single barrels aged in Buffalo Trace's Warehouse H. Barrels are selected for their depth and character at the higher proof. Each bottle is hand-labeled with its barrel details and topped with the iconic horse-and-jockey stopper.
Tasting Notes:
- Nose: Honeyed oak, toffee, dried fruit and a hint of citrus zest.
- Palate: Rich caramel, butterscotch and dark honey, layered with rye spice, clove and black pepper.
- Finish: Long and warming, with seasoned oak, leather and gentle spice.
Bottle Size: 700ml
Blanton's Straight From the Barrel Bourbon
This is Blanton's in its purest form. Straight From the Barrel is bottled directly from a single barrel without dilution or chill filtration. The result is the full flavor, texture and strength of bourbon matured in Warehouse H. Proof varies from barrel to barrel, often well above 120, so every bottle is unique. Each is hand-labeled with its barrel details and sealed with the signature horse-and-jockey stopper. It is the most intense and prized expression in the Blanton's family.
Tasting Notes:
- Nose: Deep caramel, dark cherry, vanilla bean and charred oak.
- Palate: Bold and oily, with brown sugar, dark chocolate, cinnamon, toasted nuts and baking spice. A few drops of water open up more fruit and sweetness.
- Finish: Exceptionally long, with rich oak, spice and lingering molasses.
Bottle Size: 700ml
