Process & Profile
Blanton's Bourbon Whiskey Collection Bundle brings together Blanton’s Black Label, Blanton’s Gold Edition, Blanton’s Original Single Barrel, Blanton’s Special Reserve, Blanton’s Straight From The Barrel.
These are separate single-barrel Blanton’s expressions, with differences in bottling strength and market presentation. Straight From The Barrel has a variable strength; the other fixed proofs are listed individually below.
Blanton’s Black Label: Black Label is a 40% ABV Blanton’s bottling sold in the Japanese range. It retains the brand’s single-barrel identity at a lower strength than Original.
Blanton’s Gold Edition: Gold Edition raises the bottling strength to 103 proof. Its profile balances honeyed sweetness with spice, tobacco and charred-oak character.
Blanton’s Original Single Barrel: Blanton’s Original is selected from individual barrels associated with Warehouse H at Buffalo Trace. The expression was introduced in 1984 and is bottled at a fixed 93 proof.
Blanton’s Special Reserve: The green-label Special Reserve is the 80-proof Blanton’s expression. Its lighter presentation offers a useful contrast with Original, Gold and barrel-proof bottlings.
Blanton’s Straight From The Barrel: Straight From The Barrel is bottled uncut and unfiltered. Its strength varies with the barrel, so the actual bottle label supplies the ABV and proof.

How to Enjoy
Taste small pours in separate glasses. Compare the aroma, sweetness, spice and oak in each whiskey, using water between tastings. Check the Straight From The Barrel label for its strength before pouring; add water gradually if desired.
For a simple food pairing, try a little dark chocolate or lightly toasted nuts. Keep the pairing modest so the differences in oak, sweetness and spice remain easy to notice.
