Blanton's Original Single Barrel Bourbon 70cl

Blanton’s Original Single Barrel Bourbon – the benchmark for single barrel bourbon

Blanton’s Original Single Barrel Bourbon is a whisky steeped in history, full of character and instantly recognisable. As the world’s first commercially available single barrel bourbon, it continues to stand for individuality, craftsmanship and a uniquely personal journey of discovery. Each bottle comes from a single barrel and thus has its own unique character – a detail that makes Blanton’s so special to bourbon lovers all over the world.

Origin, style and iconic status

Blanton’s Original Single Barrel is bottled in Kentucky at the Buffalo Trace Distillery. The brand is named after Colonel Albert B. Blanton and was first launched in 1984. Since then, it has been regarded as the benchmark when it comes to premium single-barrel bourbon. Its distinctive features include not only the bulbous bottle and the cream-coloured label, but also the legendary horse-and-jockey stopper. A particular treat for collectors: there are eight different stoppers, each depicting a stage of a horse race, which together spell out the word ‘Blanton’s’.

Flavour profile: powerful, smooth and balanced

In the glass, the bourbon displays a rich amber hue. Stylistically, Blanton’s Original offers a balanced blend of vanilla, caramel, honey, spices and oak. On the palate, the flavours are warm and rounded, with a pleasant spiciness and a long, harmonious finish. As this is a single-barrel bottling, the profile may vary slightly from cask to cask – which is precisely what makes every bottle exciting and gives it its own unique character.

46.5% ABV and genuine collector’s details

At 46.5% ABV or 93 proof, Blanton’s Original offers enough intensity to impress when enjoyed neat, whilst remaining accessible and elegant. In addition, the bottles often feature handwritten or individually filled-in details such as the dump date, barrel number, warehouse, rick number or the barrel’s position – details that underline the craftsmanship and make each bottle even more unique. This makes this bourbon not only perfect for enjoying, but also an excellent gift or a special addition to your own collection.

For connoisseurs and collectors alike

Whether as an introduction to the world of premium single barrel bourbons or as a staple in your home bar: Blanton’s Original is a bourbon that you’ll be delighted to open and just as delighted to show off. It combines tradition, collectability and a compelling flavour profile in a bottle that makes an impression at first glance.
