Blanton’s The Original Single Barrel is one of the most recognisable and collectible American bourbons, widely regarded as the bottle that established the modern single barrel bourbon category. Originally created for Colonel Albert B. Blanton’s private stock at Buffalo Trace, the expression is now celebrated by bourbon enthusiasts worldwide for its individual barrel character and distinctive presentation.
This 2023 bottling was drawn from Barrel No.87, matured in Warehouse H, Rick No.57, and dumped on 17 March 2023. Bottled by hand at 93° proof (46.5% ABV), each bottle carries its own unique barrel details and individual numbering, highlighting the single-barrel nature of the release.
Blanton’s Original Single Barrel is selected from the centre sections of Warehouse H, where the bourbon develops its signature balance of sweetness, oak influence and spice.

Blanton's (Buffalo Trace)
Blanton's is not just a whiskey but a symbol of bourbon innovation and tradition, originally created by Colonel Albert B. Blanton at the Buffalo Trace Distillery in Kentucky, USA. It's credited with being the first single-barrel bourbon, a concept introduced in 1984 that showcases the unique characteristics of bourbon aged in individual barrels. Each bottle of Blanton's is hand-filled, hand-labeled, and hand-numbered, emphasizing its artisanal approach. The bourbon itself boasts a rich amber color with flavors that dance between vanilla, caramel, dried fruit, and a hint of spice, finishing with a warm, long-lasting finish. The collectible aspect of Blanton's is further enhanced by its iconic horse and jockey stoppers, with each bottle featuring one of eight different figurines. This attention to detail and premium quality has made Blanton's a favorite among bourbon enthusiasts and collectors alike.
