Blanton's Single Barrel Bourbon is a testament to the legacy of Master Distiller Elmer T. Lee and a tribute to the historic tradition established by Colonel Albert B. Blanton. This exceptional bourbon was born in 1984 when Elmer T. Lee, nearing retirement, embarked on a mission to create a bourbon of unparalleled quality. Drawing inspiration from his early days working under Colonel Blanton in the late 1940s, Mr. Lee remembered a remarkable tradition. Colonel Blanton would personally select "honey barrels" from the center cut of Warehouse H, reserving these exceptional barrels for special occasions and dignitaries. Each of these chosen barrels would be bottled individually, capturing the essence of its unique flavor profile. In homage to this tradition, Elmer T. Lee christened this new bourbon "Blanton's Single Barrel," preserving the essence of Colonel Blanton's commitment to excellence.

Why Liquor Geeks recommends it

This is the bourbon Elmer T. Lee created in 1984 to honor Colonel Albert B. Blanton's practice of hand-selecting "honey barrels" from the center cut of Warehouse H and bottling each one individually. Made at Buffalo Trace Distillery in Kentucky from a corn-dominant mash bill and bottled at 93 proof, it opens with caramel, vanilla and toasted oak on the nose. Honey sweetness and warming rye spice follow on the palate, and the long, charred-oak finish carries a touch of citrus zest. Each bottle comes from a single barrel, which suits the drinker who enjoys comparing one pour to the next. The profile is still balanced and approachable enough for someone stepping up from everyday bourbon. It shines neat, opens nicely with a drop of water, and holds its own in an Old Fashioned. We carry it because both its story and what is in the glass deliver. This gift edition makes it an easy, meaningful choice for celebrations, milestones and the bourbon lover on your list.

Pairs well with

  • Pecan pie with whipped cream — The bourbon's caramel, honey and vanilla notes echo the pie's toasty, sugary filling.
  • Smoked beef brisket — Charred oak on the finish and rye spice on the palate stand up to smoky, savory bark.
  • Milestone birthday or anniversary toast — Its story and its warm, lingering finish reward slow sipping with friends and loved ones.
