Blanton's Straight From the Barrel Bourbon 750ML

Blanton’s Straight From The Barrel (SFTB) is the purest expression of the world’s most iconic single-barrel bourbon—bottled uncut and non-chill filtered for maximum aroma, texture, and flavor. Drawn from hand-selected barrels in Warehouse H and built on Buffalo Trace’s high-rye Mashbill #2, this cask-strength Kentucky straight bourbon delivers thunderous depth—rich caramel, dark fruit, and toasted oak wrapped in bold spice—while every bottle remains unique to its barrel, proof, and dump date.

Why it’s special

• True cask strength: Bottled straight from the barrel—no dilution—preserves maximum aroma, texture, and flavor.

• High-rye backbone: Mashbill #2 adds structure and spice to the rich Blanton’s sweetness.

• Collector-worthy: Iconic horse-stopper topper and highly sought-after allocations.

How to enjoy

• Neat (experienced palates): Let it rest 10–15 minutes; revisit as it evolves in the glass.

• With water: A few drops tame the proof and lift citrus, florals, and confectionary notes.

• Large ice cube: Slow dilution emphasizes caramel, oak polish, and chocolate tones.

• Pro tip: Nose with your mouth slightly open to better handle the high proof.
