Blanton's Single Barrel Bourbon is widely credited as the world's first commercially marketed single-barrel bourbon, released in 1984 by Master Distiller Elmer T. Lee in honour of Colonel Albert B. Blanton. Distilled and aged at Buffalo Trace in Frankfort, Kentucky — specifically from Warehouse H, a metal-clad rickhouse Colonel Blanton chose for its faster, more intense maturation — each bottle is hand-dumped from a single cask, hand-labeled with the barrel number, and topped with one of eight collectible horse-and-jockey stoppers that spell out "BLANTONS" when lined up.

At 93 proof, the palate leans rich and complex: caramel, honeyed citrus, vanilla, baking spice, and a soft rye tingle, carried by a medium oak backbone and a long, warm finish. It drinks beautifully neat in a Glencairn, holds up over a single cube, and makes an unexpectedly elegant Old Fashioned when you want the base to drive the drink.

Blanton's is one of the most sought-after bourbons in Buffalo Trace's portfolio and has become a cult bottle on secondary markets. Collectors routinely chase the full eight-stopper set. If you already pour Buffalo Trace or Eagle Rare, Blanton's is the natural next step up in the Buffalo Trace family.

Why Liquor Geeks recommends it

This is the bottle widely credited as the first commercially marketed single-barrel bourbon, introduced in 1984 by Master Distiller Elmer T. Lee to honor Colonel Albert B. Blanton. Every bottle is hand-dumped from a single cask drawn from Warehouse H at Buffalo Trace in Frankfort, Kentucky, a metal-clad rickhouse the Colonel favored for faster, more intense maturation, then hand-labeled with its barrel number. At 93 proof it pours rich and balanced: caramel, vanilla and toasted oak on the nose, honeyed sweetness and a warming rye spice on the palate, and a long finish of charred oak with a flicker of citrus zest. It rewards the curious sipper who wants to taste what a single barrel brings, and it delights collectors chasing all eight horse-and-jockey stoppers that spell out BLANTONS. If Buffalo Trace or Eagle Rare already lives on your shelf, this is the natural step up within the same family. We carry it because it is a genuine piece of bourbon history that still drinks beautifully in the glass.

Pairs well with

  • Pecan pie or bread pudding — The bourbon's caramel, honey and baking spice notes echo the warm, toasty sweetness of these desserts.
  • Dark chocolate with orange peel — Bittersweet chocolate and citrus play off the charred oak and the hint of citrus zest on the finish.
  • Milestone celebration toast — Its rich, balanced palate is made for slow sipping and savoring the moment with friends and loved ones.

Questions about this bottle

What does single barrel mean for this bourbon?

Each bottle of Blanton's is hand-dumped from one individual cask rather than blended from many, then hand-labeled with its barrel number. The barrels come from Warehouse H at Buffalo Trace, a metal-clad rickhouse Colonel Blanton chose for its faster, more intense maturation.

How strong is it, and does it carry an age statement?

Blanton's Single Barrel is bottled at 93 proof, or 46.5% ABV, in a 750 ml bottle. It carries no age statement. The bourbon is made from a corn-dominant mash bill and matured in new charred oak.

What is the best way to drink it?

It shines neat in a Glencairn, and a single drop of water can release additional nuances if you prefer a slightly milder profile. It also holds up over a single cube and makes an elegant Old Fashioned when you want the bourbon itself to drive the drink.

Is it a good gift, and what is the deal with the stoppers?

Yes. Each bottle is topped with one of eight collectible horse-and-jockey stoppers that spell out BLANTONS when lined up, and collectors routinely chase the full set. Paired with its history and hand-labeled barrel number, it makes a fitting choice for special occasions and celebrations.
