Blanton’s, the first “single barrel bourbon” was introduced in 1984 by Elmer T. Lee, the legendary Master Distiller of the George T. Stagg Distillery. Elmer was honoring his former boss, Col. Albert B. Blanton, who joined the distillery in 1897 and steered it for the next 55 years.
Blanton’s is made from carefully selected ingredients and matured in a warehouse with its own heating system to control ageing even in winter. Each barrel is selected at its peak maturity by the master distiller and is hand bottled, one barrel at a time.
The bottle is a decanter style with a racing horse and rider on the stopper. Letters on each of the set of eight stoppers spell out the name 'BLANTONS'. The first stopper in the set, the letter 'B', depicts the horse standing still. The subsequent letters depict the horse entering a trot, canter and gallop.
Special Reserve is said to be around six years old.
