UNIQUE FACTS

Each of the iconic horse and jockey stoppers shows a different stage of a race and is marked with a letter from the word “Blanton’s.” There are eight unique stoppers applied at random, making them highly collectible.

Each bottle includes the barrel dump date on the label, making it highly sought after by collectors who hunt for bottles that align with personally significant dates like birthdays and anniversaries. The brand has become so collectible that bottles frequently appear in whiskey auctions at significantly inflated prices.

Blanton's was the world's first commercially available single-barrel bourbon when it launched in 1984, created by master distiller Elmer T. Lee as his parting gift to the industry. This revolutionary concept challenged the standard practice of blending multiple barrels and created the "super premium" bourbon category.
