Blanton’s Gold Edition takes the house’s iconic single-barrel style to the next level. Each bottle is drawn from a single cask—no blending—yielding natural, subtle variations and added depth. The whiskey is traditionally matured in the metal-clad Warehouse H at Buffalo Trace Distillery in Frankfort, Kentucky, where wide temperature swings drive an intense maturation.
On the nose, honey and caramel meet orange zest, ripe stone fruit and a clear spice line of clove and nutmeg. The palate is full-bodied and silky, with layers of toffee, vanilla bean and toasted oak, balanced by a fresh streak of citrus and a long, peppery finish. The higher strength of 51.5% delivers extra impact while preserving the elegance that made Blanton’s famous.
The design is as collectible as the liquid: the faceted bottle is crowned with the classic horse-and-jockey stopper—an emblem that, for many, is as iconic as the bourbon itself.
Serving Tips Enjoy neat in a tulip glass at 18–20 °C (64–68 °F) to maximize aroma, or over a single large ice cube. In cocktails, it elevates an Old Fashioned or Manhattan with honeyed sweetness, citrus and a spicy backbone.
