A step above the Original — Blanton's Gold Edition is the premium expression in the core Blanton's lineup, bottled at a higher 103 proof (51.5% ABV) for a richer, more intense character than the standard Original Single Barrel. Distilled from a proprietary sour mash of corn, rye, and malted barley at Buffalo Trace Distillery in Frankfort, Kentucky, and drawn from a single hand-selected barrel, Gold Edition delivers the same iconic Blanton's elegance with an added depth and complexity that the extra proof unlocks. Presented in the iconic round bottle with the signature stopper, this 700ml expression is produced primarily for international markets and is highly sought after by collectors worldwide.

Frequently Asked Questions

Blanton's Original Single Barrel is bottled at 93 proof — the standard US expression.
