{"product_id":"blantons-the-original-single-barrel-bourbon-whiskey-2023","title":"Blanton's The Original Single Barrel Bourbon Whiskey 2023","description":"Blanton's The Original Single Barrel Bourbon Whiskey is a 93-proof Kentucky straight bourbon from the legendary Blanton Distilling Company, hand-selected from a single barrel and bottled at peak flavor. This 2023 release represents the gold standard of premium American whiskey, delivering the complex character and rich depth that made Blanton's the original premium single barrel bourbon.\n\nFrom the historic Blanton Distilling Company in Frankfort, Kentucky, this bourbon carries forward the legacy of Colonel Albert B. Blanton, who pioneered the single barrel concept. Each bottle is individually selected, filtered, and bottled by hand, ensuring that no two bottles are exactly alike. This particular expression was dumped from Barrel No. 136, stored in Warehouse 14 on Rick No. 35, showcasing the meticulous attention to detail that defines the Blanton's experience.\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNose:\u003c\/strong\u003e Rich vanilla custard, honey-drizzled biscuits, dried orange peel, warm baking spices, subtle oak char\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePalate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Creamy caramel, dark chocolate, toasted almonds, cinnamon bark, brown butter richness\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Long and warming with lingering vanilla, gentle pepper spice, oak tannins\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eProduct Details\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSpirit Type\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eKentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eABV\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e46.5% (93 Proof)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eVolume\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e750ml\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eAge Statement\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNAS (No Age Statement)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eRelease Year\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2023\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eDistillery\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBlanton Distilling Company\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eRegion\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFrankfort, Kentucky\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eBarrel Type\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSingle Barrel\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eBarrel Details\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBarrel No. 136, Warehouse 14, Rick No. 35\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003ePerfect For\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpecial Occasions:\u003c\/strong\u003e The perfect centerpiece for milestone celebrations and memorable toasts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNeat Sipping:\u003c\/strong\u003e Savoring the full complexity of single barrel character without dilution\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePremium Cocktails:\u003c\/strong\u003e Elevating classic bourbon cocktails like Old Fashioneds and Manhattans\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCollector's Display:\u003c\/strong\u003e The iconic horse-and-jockey stopper makes this a showpiece bottle\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat does Blanton's The Original taste like?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBlanton's The Original delivers a rich, balanced profile with prominent vanilla and caramel notes, complemented by warm baking spices and a touch of oak.

The 93 proof provides perfect balance—strong enough to hold up against mixers but smooth enough not to overpower. However, many enthusiasts prefer sipping it neat to fully appreciate the single barrel character.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow should I drink Blanton's bourbon?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBlanton's is best enjoyed neat or with a small splash of water to open up the flavors. Serve it in a rocks glass or Glencairn glass at room temperature. If you prefer it chilled, add one large ice cube rather than multiple small ones to minimize dilution while maintaining the bourbon's full flavor profile.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eIs Blanton's worth the price?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBlanton's represents excellent value for a premium single barrel bourbon, offering consistent quality and unique bottle-to-bottle variation that collectors and enthusiasts appreciate. The hand-selected barrels, meticulous bottling process, and iconic presentation justify the premium, especially given the brand's pioneering role in the single barrel category.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat makes Blanton's different from other bourbons?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBlanton's was the first commercially available single barrel bourbon, meaning each bottle comes from one specific barrel rather than a blend. This creates unique flavor variations between bottles while maintaining the brand's signature profile. The distinctive bottle design with collectible horse-and-jockey stoppers and detailed barrel information also sets it apart from standard bourbon releases.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eYou must be 21 years of age or older to purchase this product.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Blanton's","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42143286394935,"sku":"BTOSBBW2023","price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0618\/8843\/0135\/files\/front_5370c95a-cc11-4569-b7f6-08b521f06fd8.jpg?v=1773677898","url":"https:\/\/dramstreet.com\/products\/blantons-the-original-single-barrel-bourbon-whiskey-2023","provider":"Dram Street","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
