{"product_id":"blantons-original-single-barrel-kentucky-straight-bourbon-whiskey","title":"Blanton's Original Single Barrel Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey","description":"Blanton's The Original Single Barrel Bourbon Whiskey is a Kentucky straight bourbon whiskey bottled at 93 proof, representing the pinnacle of single barrel craftsmanship from Buffalo Trace's premium Blanton Distilling Company. This particular expression was dumped on May 2, 2023, from Barrel No. 136, stored in Warehouse 14 on Rick No. 35, and individually filtered and bottled by hand as registered bottle No. 55.\n\nThe Blanton's legacy began in 1984 when master distiller Elmer T. Lee created the world's first modern single barrel bourbon, revolutionizing American whiskey. Named after Colonel Albert B. Blanton, the legendary distillery manager who worked at Buffalo Trace for 55 years, this bourbon embodies the meticulous attention to detail and uncompromising quality that defined his tenure. Each bottle represents a unique expression drawn from carefully selected barrels, ensuring no two bottles are exactly alike.\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNose:\u003c\/strong\u003e Rich vanilla bean, honeyed oak, dark caramel, subtle baking spices, dried orange peel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePalate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Creamy butterscotch, toasted almonds, cinnamon bark, leather, hint of dark chocolate\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Medium to long finish with lingering oak tannins, warm spice, and sweet vanilla fade\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eProduct Details\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSpirit Type\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eKentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eABV\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e46.5% (93 Proof)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eVolume\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e750ml\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eAge Statement\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNAS (No Age Statement)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eDistillery\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBlanton Distilling Company\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eRegion\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFrankfort, Kentucky, USA\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eBarrel Type\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSingle Barrel\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eBarrel Number\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e136\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eWarehouse Location\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWarehouse 14, Rick 35\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eDump Date\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMay 2, 2023\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003ePerfect For\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNeat Contemplation:\u003c\/strong\u003e Savoring the unique character of this hand-selected single barrel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpecial Occasions:\u003c\/strong\u003e Celebrating milestones with America's original single barrel bourbon\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCollector's Cabinet:\u003c\/strong\u003e Adding a numbered bottle with documented provenance to your whiskey library\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePremium Cocktails:\u003c\/strong\u003e Elevating classic bourbon cocktails with distinctive single barrel complexity\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat does Blanton's Original Single Barrel taste like?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBlanton's Original delivers a rich, complex profile with prominent vanilla and caramel notes complemented by warm baking spices and oak.

Many enthusiasts prefer savoring it neat first to appreciate the single barrel's unique characteristics.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat makes Blanton's different from other bourbons?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBlanton's was the first modern single barrel bourbon, meaning each bottle comes from one carefully selected barrel rather than a blend of multiple barrels. This single barrel approach, combined with hand-bottling and individual numbering, ensures each bottle has distinct character variations while maintaining Blanton's signature quality standards.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eIs Blanton's worth the premium price?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBlanton's commands premium pricing due to its single barrel selection process, hand-bottling, limited availability, and historical significance as America's original single barrel bourbon. For collectors and bourbon enthusiasts who appreciate documented provenance and unique barrel characteristics, the investment reflects exceptional craftsmanship and heritage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow should I store my bottle of Blanton's?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStore Blanton's upright in a cool, dark place away from temperature fluctuations and direct sunlight. The distinctive bottle shape makes it an attractive display piece, but prolonged light exposure can affect the whiskey's color and flavor. Once opened, consume within 1-2 years for optimal taste, though properly stored bourbon remains stable for much longer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eYou must be 21 years of age or older to purchase this product.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Blanton's","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48920284856560,"sku":"BOSBKSBW","price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0535\/6958\/5335\/files\/front_c21d18e9-35b4-43aa-8c33-2ff21ccb5056.jpg?v=1772226321","url":"https:\/\/huntsmanheritage.com\/products\/blantons-original-single-barrel-kentucky-straight-bourbon-whiskey","provider":"Huntsman Heritage","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
