Single Barrel Bourbon started with Blanton's in 1984. Nearing retirement, Master Distiller Elmer T. Lee was tasked with creating a bourbon of exceptionally high quality. With careful reflection, he recalled the earlier days of his career in the late 1940s when he worked under Colonel Albert B. Blanton. Colonel Blanton was the president of the distillery until 1952. Mr. Lee remembered that when Colonel Blanton would entertain dignitaries and other important guests he would handpick "honey barrels" from the center cut of Warehouse H and have that bourbon bottled one barrel at a time.
- Blanton's is hand-crafted from the finest grains using Buffalo Trace Distillery's higher rye #2 bourbon mashbill
- Blanton's ages in new charred oak barrels in famous warehouse H, a metal clad warehouse preferred by Albert Blanton himself for its optimal aging
- Iconic packaging featured in movies and TV shows has driven strong brand recognition and popularity
- Each bottle has one of eight collectable bottle toppers featuring a horse with a letter etched behind its hind hoof that spells out B-L-A-N-T-O-N-'S
