Blanton's Single Barrel Bourbon 750mL
Blanton's Single Barrel Bourbon
Single barrel Kentucky straight bourbon | 46.5% ABV / 93 proof | 750mL | Kentucky, USA
Process & Profile
Blanton’s Original Single Barrel is the 93-proof Kentucky straight bourbon introduced in 1984. It is associated with the center sections of Buffalo Trace’s Warehouse H, where individual barrels are selected for the expression.
The single-barrel approach preserves differences between barrels while keeping the expression at 46.5% ABV. Vanilla, caramel and butterscotch aromas lead into citrus, oak and baking spice. Barrel details and stopper pose can differ from the photograph; neither changes Original’s fixed 93-proof bottling strength.

How to Enjoy
Begin with a small neat pour in a tulip-shaped tasting glass. Allow a moment for the aromas to develop, then compare with a few drops of water if you want to soften the strength or explore the sweeter notes.
A large ice cube is another option. For a simple pairing, try dark chocolate or lightly toasted nuts; keep the flavors restrained so the whiskey remains the focus.
