Tasting Notes
Blanton’s Original Single Barrel Select is the expression that introduced the world to the idea of single barrel bourbon, setting the standard for elegance and consistency. The nose opens with rich aromas of caramel, vanilla, and nutmeg, accented by hints of orange zest and toasted oak. On the palate, it is smooth and layered, delivering flavors of honey, toffee, and dried fruit balanced by baking spices and roasted nuts. The texture is full and rounded, leading into a long, refined finish with sweet oak, spice, and lingering caramel.
Food Pairings
As a starter, pair it with smoked salmon canapés, spiced almonds, or charcuterie. For a main course, it complements grilled ribeye, roasted duck breast, or pork tenderloin with a maple glaze. In the cheese course, aged gouda, cheddar, or creamy brie match beautifully with its sweetness. For dessert, it pairs perfectly with pecan pie, dark chocolate soufflé, or bread pudding with bourbon sauce.
Buffalo Trace Distillery
Blanton’s is a prestigious bourbon brand produced at Buffalo Trace Distillery in Frankfort, Kentucky, and is credited with creating the world’s first single barrel bourbon in 1984. Named after Colonel Albert B. Blanton, a longtime distillery president who dedicated over 55 years to the craft, the brand set a new standard for premium bourbon by bottling whiskey from carefully selected individual barrels rather than blending.
Each barrel of Blanton’s is aged in Warehouse H, a metal-clad rickhouse that allows for greater temperature variation, producing a richer, more complex maturation. Every bottle is hand-labeled, features its unique barrel and warehouse details, and is topped with the iconic collectible horse-and-jockey stopper—spelling out “B-L-A-N-T-O-N-S” when the full set is collected. Known for its balance of smoothness, complexity, and distinct character, Blanton’s has earned a devoted following among bourbon enthusiasts and collectors worldwide.
