Process & Profile

Blanton’s Single Barrel Takara Gold 750mL is a rare Japanese export edition from the Blanton’s Single Barrel Bourbon lineup. Often referred to as Takara Gold to distinguish it from the standard 700mL Gold Edition, this release is bottled in a 750mL format and carries the higher 103-proof profile associated with Blanton’s Gold.

Produced at Buffalo Trace Distillery, Blanton’s is known as the original single barrel bourbon, with each bottle drawn from an individual barrel. Takara Gold is highly sought after because of its Japanese-market positioning, collectible presentation, higher proof, and richer single barrel character. It delivers a deeper profile than the standard Blanton’s Single Barrel, with more intensity, oak structure, spice, caramel, honey, vanilla, citrus, and dried fruit.

Blanton’s Single Barrel Takara Gold is a standout bottle for collectors, premium gifting, rare bourbon displays, and side-by-side tastings with Blanton’s Original, Gold Edition, Red Takara, Black Label, and Straight From the Barrel.
