First released in 1984 as the world's first single barrel bourbon, Blanton's marked the milestone with this commemorative edition: a barrel-strength bourbon with a custom white label and an exclusive white horse stopper, presented in an acrylic display case.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBlanton's is made at Buffalo Trace Distillery from the distillery's Mash Bill #2. Every bottle of Blanton's is drawn from a single barrel, so each one carries its own barrel's character, and this anniversary release is bottled at barrel strength rather than at the standard Blanton's proof. The result is a far more concentrated and robust bourbon than the classic Original Single Barrel, bottled at 124 proof.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe anniversary details set this bottle apart from every other Blanton's. The famous horse-and-jockey stopper is rendered in white for the 40th anniversary, and the label is a custom white design. The bottle is a 700ml export bottling, a format collectors watch for because only a few markets received the release. Housed in its clear display case, it makes an outstanding centrepiece for a bourbon collection and a fitting tribute to the brand that defined single barrel bourbon.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNose:\u003c\/strong\u003e Concentrated cherry and charred oak, with warm spice.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePalate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Bold and full-bodied, with cherry, nutmeg and charred oak.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Long, with leather, molasses, lingering toasted oak and spice.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProducer:\u003c\/strong\u003e Buffalo Trace Distillery\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStyle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Single Barrel Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey, barrel strength\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eExpression \/ Batch:\u003c\/strong\u003e 40th Anniversary 2024 Special Edition\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProof \/ ABV:\u003c\/strong\u003e 124 proof (62% ABV)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRegion:\u003c\/strong\u003e Kentucky, USA\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 700ml\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow to Enjoy It\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt barrel strength, this bourbon rewards patience. Taste a small pour neat first, then add a few drops of water to open up the cherry and spice and soften the oak. A single large ice cube also works well. Pair it with dark chocolate, pecan pie or a full-bodied cigar, and keep the stopper and display case on show: the white horse is the signature of this anniversary edition.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat does Blanton's 40th Anniversary celebrate?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt marks 40 years since Blanton's debuted in 1984 as the first single barrel bourbon.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat proof is Blanton's 40th Anniversary?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis bottle is barrel strength at 124 proof, or 62% ABV.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow is the 40th Anniversary edition different from regular Blanton's?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt is bottled at barrel strength with a custom white label and a white horse stopper, and comes in an acrylic display case.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eExplore more in our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/bourbon\"\u003eBourbon collection\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Blanton's","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67963924447541,"sku":"VWS200434968","price":2605.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0993\/7367\/8901\/files\/noir-gold-main-1075.webp?v=1793051797","url":"https:\/\/hiddencasks.com\/products\/blantons-40th-anniversary-2024-special-edition-single-barrel-bourbon-whiskey-700ml","provider":"Hidden Casks","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
