Brand History: The Original Single Barrel
In 1984, the world of whiskey was changed forever. Elmer T. Lee, a legendary Master Distiller at what is now the Buffalo Trace Distillery, decided to bottle a special bourbon for ambassadors and dignitaries straight from a single barrel—something that hadn’t been done since before Prohibition. He named this exceptional bourbon in honor of Colonel Albert B. Blanton, a former distillery president who would hand-pick his own “honey barrels” from the center of the famed Warehouse H. This act created the entire single barrel category, and Blanton’s remains the benchmark for quality and collectibility to this day.
Tasting Notes: The Classic Blanton’s Profile
While every single barrel offers its own unique subtleties, the classic Blanton’s profile from Barrel #058 is expected to deliver these beloved notes:
Nose: A powerful and inviting bouquet of rich caramel and vanilla, with distinct notes of citrus zest (orange and lemon) and a gentle undercurrent of baking spice.
Palate: A wonderfully soft and creamy mouthfeel. The initial sweetness of caramel and honey is perfectly balanced by the spicy character of the high-rye mash bill. Notes of dried apricot and a hint of charred oak add complexity.
Finish: The finish is exceptionally smooth and long, with a perfect harmony of sweet and spicy notes that linger pleasantly on the palate.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs):
Â
Q: What does “Single Barrel” mean?
A: A single barrel bourbon is bottled entirely from one individual barrel, rather than being a blend of many. This means each bottle can have slight variations in its flavor profile, reflecting the unique character of its specific cask.
Q: What is the significance of the horse stoppers?
A: The collectible stoppers each feature a horse and jockey in a different stride, representing the stages of a horse race. There are eight different stoppers in total, and spelling out B-L-A-N-T-O-N-S with the letters found at the base of each stopper completes the set.
Q: What does the “dump date” mean?
A: The dump date is the exact date that the bourbon was emptied from its barrel for bottling. This, along with the barrel number, provides a unique identifier for each single barrel release.
Q: What is Buffalo Trace Mash Bill #2?
A: This is one of Buffalo Trace’s two primary bourbon mash bills. It is known for having a higher rye content (estimated around 12-15%) compared to their Mash Bill #1, which gives it a spicier character.
Q: Where can I purchase Blanton’s Single Barrel?
A: Blanton’s is a highly allocated and sought-after bourbon. We recommend contacting our preferred retail partner, Nestor Liquor, to inquire about their inventory and availability of this specific private selection.Availability: In Stock -
