Blanton’s Single Barrel Bourbon – 375 ml

Single Barrel Bourbon started with Blanton’s in 1984. Nearing retirement Master Distiller Elmer T. Lee was tasked with creating a bourbon of exceptionally high quality. With careful reflection he recalled the earlier days of his career in the late 1940s when he worked under Colonel Albert B. Blanton. Colonel Blanton was the president of the distillery until 1952. Mr. Lee remembered that when Colonel Blanton would entertain dignitaries and other important guests he would handpick “honey barrelsfrom the center cut of Warehouse H and have that bourbon bottled one barrel at a time. As a tribute to Colonel Blanton’s old tradition Elmer T. Lee decided to name this new bourbon “Blanton’s Single Barrel”.
