Blanton's The Original Single Barrel Bourbon

Blanton's The Original Single Barrel Bourbon is a Kentucky bourbon whiskey produced in Frankfort, Kentucky, United States, and bottled at 46.5% alcohol by volume (ABV). Recognized as the world's first single barrel bourbon introduced in 1984, it is drawn from the center cut or middle sections of the historic Warehouse H. Originally reserved for ambassadors, dignitaries, and Colonel Blanton's family and friends, this single barrel expression established the benchmark for the category and continues to reflect its distinctive heritage.

Each barrel is selected individually, resulting in a bourbon that highlights balance and depth with creamy vanilla layered with caramel and butterscotch, underscored by baking spices such as clove, nutmeg, and cinnamon, and the profile of citrus and oak, supported by rich caramel and subtle corn character. The texture is smooth and rounded, with spice and oak providing structure without overpowering the sweetness. Best served neat or on the rocks, Blanton's The Original Single Barrel Bourbon pairs well with grilled steak, roasted nuts, dark chocolate desserts, or aged cheeses, making it suitable for contemplative sipping or special occasions.
