Blanton's Bourbon Original Whisky 70 cl

Product Information

Whiskey is a spirit distilled from fermented grain mash (wheat, rye, barley, and corn) and then aged in wooden barrels. That first bottle of Blanton’s made its signature blend of oak and citrus an instant icon. However, the single-barrel origin of each bottling made it easy to experiment. Soon, Buffalo Trace enhanced the Blanton’s line with three other bottles: Blanton’s Special Reserve, Straight from the Barrel, and its Gold Edition. This marketing genius is responsible for each Blanton’s stopper being stamped with a tiny letter (see the “B” in the photo above) near the horse’s hoof. Blanton’s Unforgiven Aftershave Line Sweet and spice–tradition and change. The science of whiskey-making brings together history and progress in a delectable, heady way. Blanton’s whiskey, as a refined, hand-made product of one of the most skilled distillers of the nineteenth century, is truly a work of art that’s made to be enjoyed.

But the true unicorn is the 2012 Le Maison Du Whisky release. They only made one barrel’s worth of bottles in those days, so they’re far more rare. The bar didn’t even hang onto one. They’ve got most of the old ones in there, but not the old one. This is Buffalo Trace’s other other single barrel brand (Blanton’s and Elmer T. Lee being the two icons). The whiskey is made from the same mash bill as those two, which is Buffalo Trace’s Mash Bill No. 2 (they’re higher rye recipe). Basically, this is a higher ABV version of Blanton’s with a slightly varied flavor profile from that brand. Deadwood Tumblin Dice is a three-year-old straight bourbon aged in charred oak barrels for distinct flavor and appearance. It was distilled at MGP and is made from a mash bill that contains 36% rye. Blanton’s whiskey price can be more on the costly side, as it’s a specially bottled type of liquor.

BottleBut it can be difficult to know which brand and bottle are for you. How do you decide between the most popular Bourbons or, ultimately, find the best Bourbon of the year? The huge variety of brands, distilleries, proofs, and ages has made the world of whiskey a fascinating one, albeit slightly challenging if you’re not sure where to start. Jesse Porter, is a spirits writer, former bartender and sommelier, who finds that keeping a bottle of bourbon on his desk next to his computer helps improve his overall workflow and thus writes it off monthly as a business expense. The aging process: Similar to the above, many will assume that the longer the aging process, the better the Bourbon. But some brands have thrown caution to the wind and either removed their age banner from their bottles or have reduced the length of time their Bourbon matures for.

Finish: The spices take on a woodiness and blend with dry cedar bark, old vanilla pods, and chewy pipe tobacco with a dash of salted caramel butteriness and pecan waffle comfort. In the U.S., wholesale and retail distribution of liquor is limited to only 17 states. This limits the number of retailers where you can get high-quality bourbon of Blantons caliber. In any case, you should be able to find Blantons in the following states:There are multiple different expressions of Blanton's, each being a different proof. The original 93 proof Blanton's was the only expression available in the United States until 2020. That year, Sazerac Company announced domestic annual limited releases of 103 proof Blanton's Gold and cask proof Blanton's Straight From the Barrel.

There is a shortage for Blanton’s bourbons because the demand for this single barrel bourbon exceeds its supply. Although Blanton is all about quality over quantity, the liquor brand can only supply so much at a time. It's one of the most popular spirits in the United States, but what is bourbon, exactly? By definition, bourbon is a type of American whiskey made from at least 51% corn, complemented by grains like malted barley, rye, and wheat. The American Bourbon Association also points out that it must age in charred new oak barrels and include no color or flavor additives.

A handwritten “dump date” is also placed on each label. Blanton’s is one of the few brands that list the date the barrel was emptied, which draws collectors looking for specific bottles to mark wedding anniversaries or birthdays.

One more note is that we didn’t go with rare, impossible to find unicorn bottles (i.e. Old Rip Van Winkle 25) that are rarely seen outside of google image searches on the internet. Wild Turkey is another premium brand that’s been distilling whiskey for more than 100 years. It’s a brand that knows exactly what’s what when it comes to distilling: its master distiller is Jimmy Russell, the world’s longest-tenured active distiller.

I don’t think of it as an investment, but these bottles do hold their value. I’m not seeing it as a growth opportunity, but it could be worse. Two years ago I was asking anyone would listen about this stuff now they’re asking me questions about valuation and rarity and what company makes the stoppers.
