The creak of warehouse floors beneath aged oak barrels fills the air as sunlight streams through dusty windows, illuminating amber bourbon that has waited patiently in Warehouse 14. Blanton's Single Barrel Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey stands as a testament to individual barrel selection, each bottle representing the unique character of Barrel No. 136, dumped on May 2nd, 2023, and bottled by hand at 93 proof. From the historic Blanton Distilling Company in Frankfort, Kentucky, this single barrel bourbon embodies the pioneering spirit that made Blanton's the world's first commercially marketed single barrel bourbon. Each bottle tells the story of its specific warehouse location—Rick No. 35 in Warehouse 14—where Kentucky's changing seasons worked their magic on this carefully selected barrel, creating a whiskey as individual as the hands that crafted it.
