The bourbon that started it all — Blanton's Original Single Barrel is the world's first commercially available single barrel bourbon, introduced in 1984 as a pioneering expression born from Colonel Albert Bacon Blanton's private reserve. Hand-selected from the legendary Warehouse H at Buffalo Trace Distillery in Frankfort, Kentucky, each bottle comes from a single, individually chosen barrel — making every bottle a unique expression of American whiskey craftsmanship. Colonel Blanton began his career at the distillery as an office boy at just sixteen years old. By the time he retired in 1952, he had transformed it into the largest distillery of its era — and left behind a legacy that continues to define American whiskey. Bottled at 93 proof (46.5% ABV).

Tasting Notes

• Nose: Deep nutmeg and warm spices with a classic Buffalo Trace elegance
• Palate: Dry vanilla, honey, rich caramel, and sweet corn — beautifully balanced and unmistakably Blanton's
• Finish: Medium-length and satisfying with returning corn and nutmeg

Frequently Asked Questions

Why is Blanton's so significant?

Released in 1984, Blanton's Original Single Barrel is credited as the world's first commercially bottled single barrel bourbon — a concept that was revolutionary at the time and launched an entire category of American whiskey.

What is Warehouse H?

Warehouse H is a legendary rickhouse at Buffalo Trace Distillery, known for producing some of the finest barrels in the distillery's history.
