What Makes It Special
Blanton's holds a legendary place in bourbon history as the first modern single barrel bourbon, created by Master Distiller Elmer T. Lee. Each bottle comes from a single barrel stored in Warehouse H, the distillery's metal-clad warehouse where temperature fluctuations create optimal aging conditions. The barrels are hand-selected only when they've reached peak maturity, ensuring exceptional quality in every bottle.
The distinctive bottle features a horse and jockey stopper - one of eight different poses that spell out "BLANTONS" when collected together, making this bourbon a favorite among collectors. Due to limited production and high demand, Blanton's remains one of the most sought-after allocated bourbons in the world, representing the pinnacle of single barrel bourbon craftsmanship.
