Blanton's Gold Label Foreign Edition is the 700ml international export format of Blanton's Gold — the same single barrel, 103-proof bourbon from Warehouse H at Buffalo Trace, in the format produced for European and international retail markets.
The bourbon inside is a single barrel Kentucky straight bourbon drawn from the center-cut of Warehouse H, bottled at 103 proof (51.5% ABV) from Buffalo Trace's high-rye Mash Bill #2. The difference is purely format — the 700ml bottle is the standard international measure used across European markets, while the US domestic release is 750ml. Both carry the same Gold Label designation and the eight collectible racehorse stopper designs spelling B-L-A-N-T-O-N-S.
The Gold Label is a step up from Blanton's Original in proof and intensity — 103 proof vs 93 proof — amplifying the rye spice, charred oak, tobacco, and dark fruit character of the mashbill. The foreign edition is available through specialty retailers with international import access and is sought by US collectors who prefer the 700ml format or are building complete sets across the international expressions.
Tasting Notes

Frequently Asked Questions
What is Blanton's Gold Label Foreign Edition?
The 700ml international export format of Blanton's Gold — the same 103-proof single barrel bourbon from Warehouse H as the US domestic 750ml release, in the standard European market bottle size. The bourbon is identical; only the format differs.
What is the difference between the Gold Label 700ml and 750ml?
The bourbon is the same — single barrel, 103 proof, high-rye Mash Bill #2, Warehouse H. The 700ml is the international export format produced for European and global markets; the 750ml is the standard US domestic format. Collectors building a complete set of the international expressions often seek the 700ml specifically.
What proof is Blanton's Gold Label?
103 proof (51.5% ABV) — 10 proof points higher than Blanton's Original's 93 proof. This amplifies the rye spice, charred oak, and dark fruit character of Mash Bill #2 more than the Original's lower bottling proof.
How does Blanton's Gold differ from Blanton's Original?
Both are single barrel bourbons from the same Warehouse H center-cut barrels and high-rye Mash Bill #2. Gold is bottled at 103 proof vs Original's 93 proof — bolder, spicier, and more oak-forward. The Original is more approachable; the Gold is for drinkers who want more intensity from the same DNA.
Is Blanton's Gold Label allocated?
Yes — distributed through Buffalo Trace's allocation system. The foreign edition is additionally limited by import availability. Wooden Cork ships nationwide when stock is available.
Please note: Due to Blanton’s hand-dipped wax seal design, minor cracking or seepage may occur during transit. This is a known characteristic of the packaging rather than a product defect. Shipping protection is strongly recommended. The collector’s box or bag may or may not be included depending on the specific bottle — please refer to the individual listing details.
