This set pairs Blanton's Original Single Barrel Bourbon with a Glencairn whisky glass set — the world's first single barrel bourbon alongside the industry-standard tasting glass.
Blanton's Original was launched in 1984 by master distiller Elmer T. Lee as the first bourbon commercially marketed as a single barrel expression — each bottle drawn from a single barrel selected from the center-cut of Warehouse H at Buffalo Trace. Made from a high-rye mashbill at 93 proof (46.5% ABV), with the iconic racehorse and jockey stopper that has made Blanton's one of the most recognizable bottles in American whiskey.
The Glencairn whisky glass is the most widely used tasting glass in the industry, designed with input from master blenders to concentrate aroma through its tapered mouth while allowing the spirit to open in the wide bowl.
Tasting Notes
Nose: Creamy vanilla, caramel, and butterscotch with baking spices — clove, nutmeg, and cinnamon. Palate: Sweet citrus and oak at 93 proof, complex and layered. Finish: Medium-long with returning corn and nutmeg.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is Blanton's Original Single Barrel?
The world's first commercially marketed single barrel bourbon, launched in 1984 by master distiller Elmer T. Lee at Buffalo Trace. Each bottle is drawn from a single barrel in Warehouse H, using a high-rye mashbill at 93 proof. The iconic racehorse and jockey stopper makes it one of the most recognizable bottles in American whiskey.
Why include a Glencairn glass?
The Glencairn is the industry-standard whisky tasting glass — its tapered mouth concentrates aroma while the wide bowl allows the whisky to open up. Blanton's at 93 proof benefits particularly from a proper tasting glass, where the nose reveals vanilla, caramel, and baking spice before the first sip.
