Crafted at the renowned Buffalo Trace Distillery, this bourbon collection is famously known as “Liquid Gold”. Expertly aged for six years, both bourbons in this bundle are single barrel selections, ensuring unparalleled quality and distinct flavor in every bottle.
The Original Single Barrel was the first bourbon created for Albert Blanton’s inner circle of family, friends, and dignitaries. Originating from the mid-sections of Warehouse H at the Buffalo Trace Distillery, this bourbon uses Mash Bill #2, a unique sour mash of corn, malted barley, and extra rye, aged in White Oak casks. The nose reveals sweet caramel aromas, intertwined with vanilla, nutmeg, lemon, and bright orange citrus notes. The palate is graced with subtle honey hints, perfectly balanced with caramel and corn, leading to a warm finish with undertones of corn, vanilla, and nutmeg.
Blanton’s Gold Label, created for bourbon connoisseurs who appreciate exceptional smoothness and a rich finish, is also crafted using Mash Bill #2. Matured in American White Oak casks and hand-bottled from the finest casks at the distillery, it offers a sweet and sour nose with prominent notes of citrus, cotton candy, cinnamon, honey, and tropical fruit. The palate is a complex symphony of dark fudge, citrus, oak, and heavy cream, complemented by the spiciness of extra rye and pepper hints. The finish is warm and rich with delightful cinnamon notes.
Blanton’s is best known for its limited production, making it a coveted choice among bourbon enthusiasts. The legacy began in 1984 under Elmer T. Lee’s guidance at the George T. Stagg Distillery, now Buffalo Trace Distillery. Elmer noticed that Colonel Albert Bacon Blanton always selected bottles aged in Warehouse H, the only metal-clad warehouse at Buffalo Trace. The metal structure caused significant temperature fluctuations, influencing the unique aging process. With a higher rye content and an aging period of 6-8 years, Blanton’s bourbons are synonymous with quality.
In 1999, eight unique horse stoppers were introduced to the Blanton’s bottles, each with a letter to spell out “B-L-A-N-T-O-N’-S” and depicting different stages of a horse race. These stoppers are visible upon purchase, although some letters can be challenging to find. Whether found domestically or overseas, Blanton’s maintains the same quality in every bottle. The intriguing history and craftsmanship behind each bottle make them a treasure for any bourbon lover.
