Description

Blanton's Gold Edition is a single barrel Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey, originally crafted as an export-only release for discerning international markets, particularly Japan. Bottled at 103 proof (51.5% ABV), it offers a richer, spicier, and more intense character than the standard Blanton's Original. Each bottle is hand-selected from a single barrel in Warehouse H at Buffalo Trace Distillery and is non-chill filtered. This particular bottle is from Barrel Number 197, dumped on January 28, 2026, and features the 'Letter S' stopper. It comes with its original box and bag.
