Information

Blanton’s Straight From the Barrel is a highly sought-after bourbon due to its limited release and premium quality. It is a great addition to any bourbon collection and is perfect for those who enjoy a stronger, more robust bourbon. The bourbon is packaged in a luxurious box and features a unique horse and jockey stopper, which is a signature element of the Blanton’s brand.

According to [2], the bourbon is bottled raw and uncut from the barrel, which means that it is not diluted with water before bottling. This results in a more intense and complex flavor profile.

According to [3], the bourbon is made using a traditional recipe that has been passed down through generations of master distillers at the Buffalo Trace Distillery.
