History: This collection is best known as “blanten”, originating in 1984 under Master Distiller Elmer T. Lee at the George T. Stagg Distillery, now Buffalo Trace Distillery. Inspired by Colonel Albert Bacon Blanton’s practice of selecting bottles aged in Warehouse H for distinguished guests, these bourbons are aged 6-8 years with a higher rye content, ensuring a superior quality that can be hard to find.
Each Blanton’s bottle features one of eight horse stoppers, introduced in 1999, depicting different stages of a horse race. Collectors seek all stoppers to spell “B-L-A-N-T-O-N’-S”. Overseas bottles are 700 ml, while domestic releases are 750 ml.
