Blanton's Original Single Barrel Bourbon, introduced in 1984, is celebrated as the first commercially sold single-barrel bourbon. Crafted at the Buffalo Trace Distillery in Frankfort, Kentucky, it uses the distillery's high-rye mash bill #2, comprising approximately 12-15% rye grain. Each bottle is drawn from a single barrel aged in the iconic Warehouse H, a metal-clad facility known for its unique aging environment. This meticulous selection process ensures every bottle delivers a consistent yet distinct flavor profile.

The bourbon opens with enticing aromas of fresh citrus, spicy caramel, and vanilla. On the palate, rich notes of warm vanilla, oak, and toasted nuts mingle with subtle spiciness and hints of butterscotch or honey. The medium finish is marked by returning flavors of corn and nutmeg, leaving a warm and satisfying impression. Bottled at 93 proof (46.5% ABV), Blanton's balances sweetness and spice, making it equally enjoyable neat, on the rocks, or as a premium cocktail base.
