Blanton's Original Single Barrel Bourbon is the whiskey that started the single barrel category in 1984. Each bottle is drawn from one hand-selected barrel in Warehouse H at Buffalo Trace in Frankfort, Kentucky, so no two bottles taste exactly alike. The high-rye mash bill gives caramel, vanilla, oak and baking spice over a smooth, warm finish. This six-bottle bundle suits collectors and hosts who want several barrels side by side, or a stock to open over time. Against other premium single barrel bourbons, Blanton's stands out for its barrel-to-barrel variation and the collectible horse-and-jockey stopper on every bottle.
