Blanton’s Single Barrel Bourbon 750ml

Blanton’s pioneered Single Barrel Bourbon in 1984. Master Distiller Elmer T. Lee, who was nearing retirement, was tasked with making a Bourbon of excellent quality. He reflected carefully about his earlier days in the late 1940s, when he worked under Colonel Albert B. Blanton. Colonel Blanton was the distillery’s president until 1952. Mr. Lee recalled Colonel Blanton handpicking “honey barrels” from the center cut of Warehouse H and having that whiskey bottled one barrel at a time while entertaining diplomats and other important guests. Elmer T. Lee decided to name this new bourbon “Blanton’s Single Barrel” in honor of Colonel Blanton’s historic tradition.

In the winter of 1881, Albert Bacon Blanton was naturally introduced to one of the principal families of whiskey history. At sixteen years old, he began work in the Distillery as an office kid and quick turned into a main pioneer in the improvement of whiskey. From the time he was made organization president in 1921 until his retirement in 1952, his Distillery extended from 44 to 144 structures to end up the biggest Distillery of its day.

Amid that period Colonel Blanton made his exceptionally extraordinary and constrained supply of whiskey – his private save – handpicked and put away in what presently is known as the acclaimed Warehouse H. Despite the fact that Colonel Blanton passed on in the spring of 1959, his inheritance lives. Presented in 1984, Blanton’s namesake whiskey was the principal ever Single Barrel Bourbon sold financially. The Single Barrel Bourbon is the first of its kind.
