Description

Inspired by Colonel Albert Blanton, Blanton's Single Barrel range was launched in 1984. Elmer T. Lee selected the finest barrels from Warehouse H, the same one that Col. Blanton used to select his personal favourites from, and these became the first American entry into the ultra-premium whiskey market. Blanton's Straight From The Barrel is the cask-strength expression of this single barrel bourbon, bottled uncut and unfiltered at natural barrel proof. Each bottle is drawn from a single barrel, with proof varying by barrel and printed on each individual bottle. It is known for its intense and concentrated flavor profile.
