Taste
Blanton's Original Single Barrel 375ml is a remarkable bourbon that embodies the legacy of Albert Blanton, crafted specifically for his inner circle of family and friends. The unique selection of barrels from the mid-sections of Warehouse H at Buffalo Trace Distillery contributes to its distinct character. With Mash Bill #2, the blend of corn, malted barley, and rye creates a complex flavor profile. The enticing nose offers sweet caramel, rich vanilla, and a hint of nutmeg, while the palate reveals subtle honey and corn, culminating in a warm finish enriched with layers of vanilla and spices.

History
Blanton's Original Single Barrel 375ml 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 this time, Lee observed 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 and built shortly after Prohibition, created significant temperature fluctuations that influenced how the whiskey aged. Typically aged for 6-8 years and featuring a higher rye content, Blanton's is dedicated to quality and produces a limited quantity, making it hard to obtain. In 1999, the distillery added eight different horse stoppers to the bottles, each with a letter circled on the lower left side to spell out "B-L-A-N-T-O-N'-S." Lined up, the stoppers showcase different positions of a horse race, creating a collectible aspect for enthusiasts. Blanton's assures fans that it produces the same number of each stopper every year, contributing to its allure and mystique.
