Blanton's Special Reserve, known as Green Label for its stopper and label color, is a single barrel Kentucky straight bourbon bottled at 80 proof. It is a lighter-proof cousin of Blanton's Original, collected by fans of the brand's racehorse stoppers.
The Blanton's brand began with Master Distiller Elmer T. Lee in the 1980s as a tribute to Colonel Albert B. Blanton.
It is made at Buffalo Trace Distillery in Frankfort, Kentucky, and bottled at 80 proof (40% ABV) from single barrels.
