The Original is typically bottled at around 46.5% ABV (93 proof), while the Gold Edition is a **higher proof, smoother and more complex expression, often around 103 proof**.
What makes Blanton’s Original Single Barrel special?
Blanton’s Original was the first commercially sold single barrel bourbon, introduced in 1984 and made at Buffalo Trace Distillery in Frankfort, Kentucky. Each bottle comes from a single, hand‑selected barrel aged in the famous metal‑clad Warehouse H, resulting in a unique flavor profile for every barrel.
How does Blanton’s Gold differ from Blanton’s Original Single Barrel?
Blanton’s Gold is a higher proof version of Blanton’s, typically around 103 proof, compared with the Original’s 93 proof. It is known for being richer, smoother, and more complex, while still showcasing the core Blanton’s notes of vanilla, spice, caramel, and oak.
What does Blanton’s Original Single Barrel taste like?
Blanton’s Original offers aromas of ripe fruit, citrus, and baking spice, followed by oak, vanilla, chocolate, toffee, and beeswax on the nose. The palate is full‑bodied and spicy, with notes of cinnamon, cardamom, cloves, vanilla, and ginger, finishing with corn and nutmeg.
How is Blanton’s bourbon made and aged?
Blanton’s is a Kentucky straight bourbon made from a mash bill of corn, rye, and malted barley, aged in new, charred American white oak barrels. It is typically aged around 6–8 years in Warehouse H, a metal‑clad warehouse that amplifies temperature swings and promotes more rapid, intense maturation.
Are all Blanton’s bottles the same?
No. Because Blanton’s is a single barrel bourbon, each bottle comes from one specific barrel rather than a blend, so flavor, proof, and character can vary slightly from barrel to barrel. This uniqueness is a key part of the brand’s appeal.
What is special about the Blanton’s horse stoppers?
Each bottle is topped with an iconic horse and jockey stopper, and there are eight different stoppers, each depicting a different stage of a horse race. Every stopper is stamped with a letter; together they spell “BLANTON’S,” making them highly collectible.
How should I serve Blanton’s Original and Blanton’s Gold?
Both expressions are best enjoyed neat or with a few cubes of ice to open up the flavors. Given their complexity, they are often sipped straight, but they also work beautifully in spirit‑forward cocktails like an Old Fashioned or a Mint Julep (with minimal added sweetness).
Is Blanton’s good for gifting or collecting?
Yes. Blanton’s is considered a premium, highly sought‑after bourbon, known for its distinctive bottle shape, collectible stoppers, and limited availability. The combination of Original Single Barrel and Gold Edition in one bundle makes an especially attractive gift set or collector’s duo.
Does each bottle in the bundle come hand‑bottled?
Yes. Each Blanton’s bottle is hand‑dumped, individually bottled, labeled, and sealed, reflecting the meticulous attention to detail that has defined the brand since its inception.
