During his tenure he identified a specific section of Warehouse H — the center-cut floors, where temperature cycling is most consistent — as ideal for producing exceptional bourbon. He reserved barrels from this section for his personal use and for dignitaries and ambassadors visiting the distillery. When Elmer T. Lee bottled the first commercial single barrel release in 1984, he drew from that same section of Warehouse H, naming the expression after Blanton.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEvery bottle of Blanton's Original is drawn from a single barrel — no blending, no mingling — selected by hand from the center-cut of Warehouse H and bottled at 93 proof.

The specific barrel number and warehouse are printed on the label, meaning no two bottles are identical — proof, color, and subtle flavor variation exists between barrels. Blanton's Original was the first bourbon marketed this way, establishing the standard every single barrel program since has followed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eWhat is the stopper on Blanton's bourbon?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach bottle carries a hand-dipped red wax seal topped with one of eight different stopper designs — each letter of B-L-A-N-T-O-N-S with a racehorse and jockey in a different pose. Collected in order, the eight stoppers depict a complete horse race from gate to finish line. Collectors actively seek specific letters to complete the set.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eHow does Blanton's Original differ from Blanton's Straight from the Barrel?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBlanton's Original is bottled at a consistent 93 proof with the same water-addition process as most standard releases. Straight from the Barrel (SFTB) is bottled at natural cask strength — uncut and unfiltered — at whatever proof the individual barrel reached after aging, typically ranging from 120 to 140 proof. SFTB is released primarily for the Japanese market and carries significantly more intensity and barrel concentration than the Original.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eWhere is Blanton's bourbon made?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBlanton's is produced at Buffalo Trace Distillery in Frankfort, Kentucky — one of the oldest continuously operating distilleries in the United States, in operation since 1773. All Blanton's expressions — Original, Gold, Black, and Straight from the Barrel — are distilled and aged at Buffalo Trace from the same high-rye Mash Bill #2.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eIs Blanton's an allocated bourbon?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes — Blanton's Original is distributed through Buffalo Trace's allocation system, meaning quantities at any retailer are limited and determined by the distillery rather than open-market ordering.

The high-rye build (where wheat-heavy bourbons like Weller Special Reserve produce softer profiles) gives Blanton’s the fruit and spice character that plays so cleanly against caramel and char from the barrel. Originally designated for ambassadors, dignitaries, and Colonel Blanton’s family and friends, the Single Barrel today scored three points higher than Pappy Van Winkle’s 23 Year Old Bourbon at the Ultimate Spirits Challenge in 2012.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAlbert Bacon Blanton was born in 1881 on a farm just outside Frankfort, Kentucky.

Wheated whiskies like Weller Special Reserve, tend to be softer, a kick of rye in a mash bill tends to produce a bit more in the way of fruit and spice in the whiskey, which play nicely with caramel and char.

Over the next few years, Blanton reportedly worked in every department at the distillery. By the age of 20, he was appointed the superintendent of O.F.C, and worked there until his retirement in 1952.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMuch like his mentor, E.H. Taylor, Blanton was a traditional bourbon aristocrat, wedded to the production of Kentucky straight bourbon whiskey.

Lee, as the first modern bourbon marketed as a single barrel bourbon. The original brand name was “Blanton’s Single Barrel Bourbon.” The barrels are dumped by hand without using machinery. There are eight different stopper designs, each with a different letter of the alphabet molded into it and topped with a figurine of a racehorse and jockey. When placed in order, spelling “B L A N T O N’ S”, the horse and jockey’s poses display eight different scenes of a horse race, from standing at the gate, to crossing the finish line with a win. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Blanton's","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41583854944405,"sku":"blantons-original-single-barrel-bourbon-whiskey-blooper-bottle-broken-wax-seal","price":99.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0276\/1621\/5176\/products\/blanton-s-bourbon-blooper-bottle-broken-wax-seal-see-description-1105963731.jpg?v=1740090605"},{"product_id":"weller-special-reserve-blantons-original-single-barrel-bourbon-eagle-rare-bourbon-bundle","title":"Weller Special Reserve \u0026 Blanton's Original Single Barrel Bourbon \u0026 Eagle Rare Bourbon Bundle","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThis bundle combines three of the most sought-after allocated bourbons from Buffalo Trace Distillery — Weller Special Reserve, Blanton’s Original Single Barrel, and Eagle Rare 10 Year — shipped together in a single order.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAll three expressions come from Buffalo Trace in Frankfort, Kentucky, but represent three distinct mashbills and styles.

Stagg, one of the most significant figures in American bourbon history — the man who built the distillery now bearing his name into one of the largest distilling operations in 19th-century Kentucky. Each annual Stagg batch reflects the specific barrel entry proof, warehouse position, and aging conditions of that year's selection — Batch 25C's 125.6 proof is the result of those specific variables, producing its particular depth of caramel, dark chocolate, toasted oak, and molasses character. Unfiltered release at barrel strength means nothing has been removed between the barrel and the bottle: full viscosity, full proof, and the complete expression of years in new charred American oak without any dilution or chill-filtration that would strip congeners and reduce character.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNose:\u003c\/strong\u003e Rich caramel, dark chocolate, toasted oak, molasses, and deep spice — the full barrel-strength aromatic intensity\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePalate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Full-bodied — brown sugar, roasted nuts, vanilla, dark fruit, and peppery cinnamon spice across a complex, layered palate\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Long and warming — oak, dark chocolate, tobacco, and robust spice persisting through an extended close\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecs\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDistillery:\u003c\/strong\u003e Buffalo Trace Distillery, Frankfort, Kentucky\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeries:\u003c\/strong\u003e Stagg (formerly George T.
