Taste
Blanton's Original Single Barrel was the first Blanton's Bourbon created for Albert Blanton's family, friends, ambassadors, and dignitaries. The famous bourbon is made from barrels located in the mid-sections of Warehouse H at the famous Buffalo Trace Distillery. This bourbon is made with Mash Bill #2, a sour mash of corn, malted barley, and extra rye. After, it's aged in White Oak casks. The nose on this single barrel is profound, with sweet aromas of caramel mingled with flavorful notes of vanilla, nutmeg, lemon, and bright orange citrus. The palate features subtle hints of honey, harmoniously balanced with caramel and corn. The finish is warm with undertones of corn, vanilla, and nutmeg.

Blanton's Gold Label was created for Bourbon Connoisseurs who appreciate exceptional smoothness and a rich finish. This bourbon is crafted with Mash Bill #2, a sour mash of corn, malted barley, and extra Rye. After, it's matured in American White Oak casks. Blanton's Gold is hand-bottled from the best Casks at the distillery. The nose on this one is sweet and sour, with prominent notes of bright citrus, cotton candy, cinnamon, honey, and tropical fruit. On the palate, you'll notice layers of dark fudge, citrus, oak, & heavy cream combined with the spiciness of the extra Rye and hits of pepper. The finish is warm and rich with notes of cinnamon.

History
Blanton's Original Single Barrel & Gold Label Bundle is best known as "liquid gold"! It was produced in 1984 under the guidance of Elmer T. Lee, Master distiller at the George T. Stagg Distillery, now known as the famous Buffalo Trace Distillery. There he worked with Colonel Albert Bacon Blanton, the President of the Distillery from 1921-1951. During the time he worked for him, he noticed that whenever there were ambassadors, dignitaries, and Colonel Blanton's family and friends, he would always choose a bottle aged at warehouse H at Buffalo Trace. Which is the only metal-clad warehouse at the distillery, built shortly after prohibition. Being metal meant it created a lot of temperature fluctuation because the metal doesn't insulate and would change how the whisky aged. They are aged 6-8 years and have a higher rye content. Blanton's is all about quality and only produces a limited amount, which is what makes them so hard to obtain. In 1999, there were eight different horse stoppers added to the bottles of Blanton's. Each stopper has a letter circled on the lower left side to spell out “B-L-A-N-T-O-N'-S.” After, lined up the stoppers display different positions of a horse race. They are visible upon purchase, even though some letters are hard to find. Blanton assures fans that it produces the same number of each, every year. Blanton's found overseas will be 700 ml, while domestic releases are 750 ml.
