Long, warming spice; dry heat with rye, charred oak, leather, and a hint of honey. Blanton’s Gold is the higher-proof (103) single-barrel expression in the Blanton’s line from Buffalo Trace. The Blanton’s brand helped popularize modern single-barrel bourbon in 1984 under Master Distiller Elmer T. Lee, honoring Col. Albert B. Blanton. Barrels are closely associated with metal-clad Warehouse H in Frankfort, whose temperature swings are said to heighten wood interaction. For years Gold was export-only; today it appears in limited U.S. drops and remains allocated. It shares the brand’s higher-rye recipe (commonly linked to “Mash Bill #2”) and the iconic faceted bottle with horse toppers.
