Blanton's Bourbon

Blanton's Bourbon: The pioneer of single barrel whiskey

History of Blanton's Bourbon

Blanton's was introduced in 1984 under the direction of Master Distiller Elmer T. Lee and was the first modern brand to be launched as a single barrel bourbon - a milestone in the history of American whiskeys. It is named after Colonel Albert B. Blanton, who ran the Buffalo Trace Distillery for decades and was known for the highest quality standards.

Origin: Buffalo Trace Distillery

Blanton's is produced in the traditional Buffalo Trace Distillery in Kentucky - one of the oldest still active distilleries in the USA. Here, centuries-old craftsmanship meets modern technology. The combination ensures continuous quality and innovative development without losing the roots of the bourbon craft.

Philosophy & production

Each bottle of Blanton's comes from a single barrel - hand-picked and individually bottled. This single cask bottling gives each edition its own personality. Manual production, from cask selection to bottling, underlines the brand's claim to craftsmanship. Only the best ingredients are used for production: Corn, rye, barley malt and pure limestone spring water.

Unique maturation

Maturation takes place in heavily burnt American white oak barrels. These are stored in selected areas of the Buffalo Trace warehouses, where seasonal temperature fluctuations ensure intensive maturation. The result: complex, deep aromas with structure and elegance.

Diverse taste experiences

Blanton's is known for its rich flavor profile - with notes of vanilla, caramel, oak, spices and dried lemon peel. Depending on the edition, the alcohol content varies between 40% and over 60% by volume, giving each whiskey its own depth and expressiveness.
