Share
If you’re looking to elevate your whiskey selection, few bottles carry the same provenance and character as Blanton’s Single Barrel Bourbon. Available now at The Booze Outlet, this bottle brings history, craftsmanship, and flavor together in one remarkable pour.
A Legacy of Firsts
- Introduced in 1984, Blanton’s Single Barrel became the first-ever bourbon to be marketed as a true “single barrel” expression—meaning each bottle comes from one and only one selected barrel.
- It was born out of the vision of master distiller Elmer T. Lee and bears the name of Albert B. Blanton, a longtime distillery leader who hand-picked reserve barrels for special guests.
- The whiskey is matured in the famed Warehouse H at Buffalo Trace Distillery—a metal-clad rackhouse that experiences wide seasonal swings, creating richer interaction between spirit and oak.
What to Expect in the Glass
- Nose: Rich caramel and vanilla, touches of orange zest, honeyed sweetness and subtle spice.
- Palate: A smooth blend of warm corn sweetness, slightly spicy rye character, dried fruit and oak influence.
- Finish: Medium to long, with echoes of nutmeg, toasted oak and caramel lingering pleasantly.

Try the Special Barrel-Select Blend Too
If you’re already sold on the standard release, here’s a little bonus: The Booze Outlet is offering a Barrel Select edition of Blanton’s Single Barrel Bourbon. This special version is chosen with extra care—typically highlighting a unique barrel character, rarer availability, or slightly distinct flavor profile.
Why Seek It Out

- It appeals to the collector or enthusiast who appreciates subtle variation between barrels.
- It’s a smart incremental upgrade: if you liked the original, the barrel-select can feel like your “next step.”
