Description
This is a variant of Blanton’s (sometimes called “Blanton’s Red”) that is released for the Japanese market. Most Blanton’s, including Blanton’s Single Barrel, Gold and Straight From The Barrel are around six years old. This Blanton’s, along with Blanton’s Black, is around eight years old. With raisins, citrus zest and toasted oak on the nose, followed by rye, caramel, oak, and honey on the palate, this bourbon finishes with a hot, dry punch of a finish.
Blanton’s Red is a rare and highly sought-after single barrel Kentucky straight bourbon whiskey, originally released for the Japanese market and prized by collectors worldwide. Bottled at a slightly lower proof than other Blanton’s expressions, Blanton’s Red offers a smooth, approachable, and elegantly balanced bourbon experience.
Crafted at the legendary Buffalo Trace Distillery and aged in the iconic Warehouse H, each bottle comes from a single hand-selected barrel, ensuring uniqueness in every release. Blanton’s Red is celebrated for its refined profile, making it an excellent choice for both new bourbon drinkers and seasoned enthusiasts seeking a smoother pour.
On the nose, expect sweet caramel, vanilla, citrus peel, and light oak. The palate delivers honey, toffee, soft spices, and hints of dried fruit, leading to a clean, gentle finish with subtle oak and warmth.
Distinguished by its red-label packaging and iconic horse-and-jockey stopper, this bottle stands out in any Blanton’s collection and makes an exceptional gift for bourbon lovers and collectors alike.
