When it comes to collectible bourbon, few names shine brighter than Blanton’s—and within that iconic lineup, Blanton’s Gold Edition is a true standout. Originally reserved for international markets, this elevated expression of Blanton’s Single Barrel Bourbon has become a legend among American whiskey fans for its rarity, bold flavor, and signature horse-and-jockey topper.
The Legacy of Blanton’s
Blanton’s was born in 1984 at Buffalo Trace Distillery, inspired by Colonel Albert B. Blanton, who worked at the distillery for over 55 years and often handpicked barrels from Warehouse H for his personal reserve. The brand made history as the first-ever single barrel bourbon commercially released, setting the standard for the premium bourbon category and changing the way whiskey fans viewed American spirits.
It quickly gained a loyal following for its rich, complex flavor and highly collectible packaging—especially the distinct round bottle and the iconic stoppers featuring a racehorse in mid-stride, which spell out B-L-A-N-T-O-N-S when collected.
Today, Blanton’s is one of the most sought-after names in bourbon, with each release generating excitement among collectors and connoisseurs alike.
Blanton’s Gold Edition
Blanton’s Gold takes everything you love about the original and turns it up a notch. Bottled at a robust 103 proof, it delivers a deeper intensity without sacrificing balance. Expect a rich nose of honey, dark fruit, and baking spice, followed by layers of toffee, charred oak, and dried citrus on the palate. The finish is long, warm, and satisfying—the kind of sip you savor.
Whether you’re a seasoned collector or a bourbon enthusiast chasing that next great pour, Blanton’s Gold belongs on your radar (and your top shelf).
