Blantons ‘Cream label – Takara Red’ Single Barrel Kentucky Straight Bourbon 750ml

Blanton’s ‘Cream label – Takara Red’ Single Barrel Kentucky Straight Bourbon 750ml

Limited edition for the Japanese market. This Blantons is around eight years old- about 2 years longer than the standard release single barrel.

Taken from the center of the venerable Warehouse H, Blantons was once designated for ambassadors, officials, and Colonel Blanton’s friends & family. Today, everyone has access to the world’s first single barrel bourbon.

Blantons Cream Label Takara Red’s flavor profile is sweet with and oaky with hints of citrus. A creamy nose features hints of vanilla, caramel, orange and light chocolate. Blantons set the standard for bourbons. Best served neat or with a couple of rocks.

Blantons Single Barrel Bourbon is aged in Buffalo Trace’s Warehouse H, the only metal-clad warehouse at the distillery, for 6-8 years. The warehouse was built by Albert B. Blanton a few years after prohibition. Because metal conducts heat more quickly than brick warehouses, it ages more rapidly compared to other rickhouses.

Every bottle of Blantons Single Barrel Bourbon has one of 8 different stoppers since 1999. Each one with a horse and jockey at a different stage of finishing a horserace. The designs are all lettered so that a complete set laid out side by side will spell “Blantons.”

We pack Blanton’s very very well, but due to the high proof, large cork & stopper, and very thin wax, bottles can leak and wax can crack due to movement or temperature changes- No claim can be lodged against cap and/or seal failure or leakage in transit unless Route shipping protection is added to your order.
