This 2026 limited edition focuses on one barrel, offering a distinct expression within Blanton's tradition of individual cask selection. It is bottled at 100 proof in a 700mL format.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe release comes from Barrel #357, matured in rick 30, and follows the single-barrel approach that made Blanton's a landmark in American whiskey. Produced at Buffalo Trace Distillery in Frankfort, Kentucky, the brand traces its commercial single-barrel debut to 1984. Each selection gives drinkers the opportunity to explore the character of one cask rather than a marriage of multiple barrels.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEmeraude presents a warm, caramel-led style with spice, fruit and a brighter tangy edge. Its black geometric label, iridescent details, green accent and gold horse-and-jockey stopper distinguish this presentation from the familiar Original Single Barrel bottle. The matching black presentation box appears in the supplied product image.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNose:\u003c\/strong\u003e Vanilla, caramel and toffee with sandalwood, hazelnut, clove and nutmeg; earthy and lightly medicinal undertones add depth.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePalate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Corn and rye character with butter, honey and toffee, followed by ginger, cinnamon and dark berries.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e A lively combination of lime and cayenne, with peanut butter, tropical fruit and floral accents.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat Makes It Special\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpecific barrel identity:\u003c\/strong\u003e Barrel #357 and rick 30 identify the selection behind this release.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLMDW exclusive:\u003c\/strong\u003e Chosen for La Maison du Whisky's Les Anthologistes collection.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e100-proof strength:\u003c\/strong\u003e Bottled at 50% ABV, a different specification from the standard 93-proof Original Single Barrel.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e2026 Emeraude edition:\u003c\/strong\u003e A limited presentation with distinctive black, iridescent and green design details.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e700mL format:\u003c\/strong\u003e This listing is for one bottle of the specified barrel and edition.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHow to Enjoy\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStart with a small neat pour in a tumbler, as La Maison du Whisky suggests, or use a tulip-shaped tasting glass to explore the nose.

These serving suggestions complement its richer flavors without needing an elaborate accompaniment.
