Blanton's Black Label Single Barrel Bourbon Whiskey 750mL
Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey | 40% ABV | 80 Proof | 750mL | Single Barrel | Japanese Export Release
Process & Profile
Blanton's Black Label Single Barrel Bourbon Whiskey 750mL is a rare export expression from the iconic Blanton’s lineup, originally created for the Japanese market. Bottled at 80 proof, this single barrel bourbon offers a softer, more approachable profile than Blanton’s Original Single Barrel while still carrying the signature character that has made Blanton’s one of the most recognizable names in Kentucky bourbon.
Produced at Buffalo Trace Distillery, Blanton’s is known as the original modern single barrel bourbon, with each bottle drawn from an individual barrel rather than a blended batch. Blanton’s Black Label is commonly associated with Buffalo Trace’s higher-rye bourbon mash profile and aging in the historic Warehouse H, where Blanton’s barrels are selected for balance, depth, and elegance.
