In 1983, Blanton’’s was the first bourbon to be released as a single cask bottling, revolutionizing American whiskey in the process. It is produced in the Buffalo Trace distillery in the heart of Kentucky. This straight bourbon is named after Colonel Blanton who ran the distillery from 1912 to 1953. Inspired by his predecessor, Blanton’’s creator took advantage of the end of cask rotation, and decided to allow each cask to express its own unique flavour profile. This is why Blanton’’s different expressions are able to offer a succulent and precise range of cereal, spice, candied fruit, citrus fruit and floral notes.

These single barrels were all matured in Warehouse H, the most famous building of all 114 owned by Kentucky-based Buffalo Trace. Warehouse H is enveloped in metal, leading its whiskeys to mature in a very unique fashion, amidst major temperature shifts.
