The Original

About

Blanton's The Original is an iconic Kentucky Straight Bourbon from Buffalo Trace Distillery, crafted since 1984 in the heart of bourbon country. This premium single barrel bourbon is celebrated for its consistent quality and distinctive round bottle with the collectible horse-and-jockey stopper. Matured exclusively in new, heavily charred American oak barrels, it delivers a full-bodied, well-balanced expression that exemplifies classic bourbon character. The nose reveals deep, satisfying notes of nutmeg and warming spices, layered with sweet vanilla, honey, and rich caramel. The palate showcases powerful dry vanilla in harmony with honey and prominent caramel alongside corn sweetness. The finish is relatively short and drying, with lingering vanilla and a subtle farmyard earthiness that adds complexity, rounded out by hints of dried citrus peel.
