Taste
Blanton's Original Single Barrel was the first Blanton's Bourbon created for Albert Blanton's family, friends, ambassadors, and dignitaries. The famous bourbon is made from barrels in the mid-sections of Warehouse H at the renowned Buffalo Trace Distillery. This bourbon is crafted using Mash Bill #2, a sour mash of corn, malted barley, and extra rye, and is aged in White Oak casks. The nose on this single barrel is profound, showcasing sweet aromas of caramel mingled with flavorful notes of vanilla, nutmeg, lemon, and bright orange citrus. The palate features subtle hints of honey, harmoniously balanced with caramel and corn, while the finish is warm, leaving a delightful lingering taste with undertones of corn, vanilla, and nutmeg that invites another sip.

History
Blanton's Original Single Barrel is best known as "liquid gold"! It was produced in 1984 under the guidance of Elmer T. Lee, Master distiller at the George T. Stagg Distillery, now known as the famous Buffalo Trace Distillery. There he worked with Colonel Albert Bacon Blanton, the President of the Distillery from 1921-1951. During the time he worked for him, he noticed that whenever there were ambassadors, dignitaries, and Colonel Blanton's family and friends, he would always choose a bottle aged at warehouse H at Buffalo Trace. This warehouse, the only metal-clad one at the distillery, was built shortly after prohibition. The metal structure caused significant temperature fluctuations, impacting how the whisky aged, which is part of what makes Blanton's so unique. They are aged 6-8 years and have a higher rye content. Blanton's is all about quality and only produces a limited amount, which is what makes them so hard to obtain. In 1999, there were eight different horse stoppers added to the bottles of Blanton's. Each stopper has a letter circled on the lower left side to spell out "B-L-A-N-T-O-N'-S." When lined up, the stoppers display different positions of a horse race, and while some letters are harder to find, Blanton assures fans that it produces the same number of each every year. Blanton's found overseas will be 700 ml, while domestic releases are 750 ml.
