Blanton’s Strana 1 z 1

Blanton’s is named after Colonel Albert B. Blanton, who dedicated more than 55 years to bourbon distillation. He began working at the distillery now known as Buffalo Trace Distillery in 1897 and gradually rose to become its president. He was known for bottling bourbon from a single selected barrel in the “Warehouse H” on special occasions. This practice became the foundation of the brand's philosophy.

In 1984, master distiller Elmer T. Lee, inspired by the memory of Colonel Blanton, decided to introduce the first bourbon bottled exclusively from a single barrel. Thus, Blanton’s Original Single Barrel was born, making history as the first commercially available single barrel bourbon in the world. This move launched a new era in bourbon production and demonstrated that American whiskey could possess the same exclusive and premium character as Scotch single malt whisky.

Since its introduction, Blanton’s has built a strong reputation both domestically and internationally. The distinctive round bottle with a jockey on a racehorse stopper has become an icon among collectors – there are eight different figurines that together form the word “BLANTONS.” Each bottle comes from a single barrel, hand-selected and bottled without blending, ensuring a unique profile. Today, Blanton’s is not only a tribute to Col. Blanton's legacy but also a symbol of quality and originality, making it one of the most sought-after bourbons in the world.
