Blanton’s

Blanton’s started producing single barrel bourbon of exceptionally high quality in 1984 under Master Distiller Elmer T. Lee who in the late 1940s worked under Colonel Albert B. Blanton the president of the distillery until he retired in 1952. He handpicked “honey barrels” from the center cut of Warehouse H and have that bourbon bottled one barrel at a time and named the new bourbon “Blanton’s Single Barrel” a year before he retired and said to be the finest single barrel on the market.

The Stoppers
The horse and jockey atop the bottle stoppers are now a recognized trademark of Blanton’s Single Barrel Bourbon. The rich heritage and tradition of horses in Kentucky parallel that of bourbon. This is our way of paying homage to this Kentucky heritage. Beginning in 1999 a collector’s set of eight different stoppers was produced. The set features a horse and jockey in different strides and poses resembling the stages of a horse race, from beginning to end. Each stopper is marked with a single letter that spells Blanton’s when the set has been completed. The final stopper, marked by “S” always finishes the race in victory!
