The bold, higher-proof expression of the world's first single barrel bourbon — Blanton's Black Edition is produced exclusively for international markets and represents a significant step up in intensity from Blanton's Special Reserve. Crafted at Buffalo Trace Distillery in Frankfort, Kentucky, and bottled at a higher proof than the Special Reserve, Black Edition delivers a richer, more robust character while maintaining the smooth elegance that defines the Blanton's family. Presented in the iconic round bottle with the signature stopper, this 700ml expression is a favorite among Blanton's collectors worldwide.

Tasting Notes

• Nose: Rich caramel, vanilla, toasted oak, and a warm spice — more intense and complex than Special Reserve, with a deeper barrel character
• Palate: Full-bodied and smooth with caramel, honey, toasted oak, dried fruit, and a warm spice that builds beautifully — the higher proof adding depth and presence without harshness
• Finish: Long, warm, and satisfying with lingering caramel, oak spice, and a refined sweetness

Frequently Asked Questions

How does Black Edition differ from Blanton's Special Reserve and Original?

The Blanton's lineup moves from lightest to most intense: Special Reserve (lightest, most approachable) → Black Edition (richer, higher proof, more complex) → Original Single Barrel (93 proof, US market standard) → Straight From the Barrel (uncut, unfiltered cask strength). Black Edition sits firmly in the middle — more character than Special Reserve, more approachable than cask strength.

Why is this bottle 700ml?

The 700ml format is the international standard, particularly in Europe and Asia. Blanton's Black Edition is produced primarily for international distribution, which is why it's available in 700ml rather than the 750ml US standard.

How should I serve it?

Best enjoyed neat or on the rocks to appreciate the full character. Also excellent in premium cocktails — the richer, higher-proof profile makes it a superb base for a Manhattan or Old Fashioned.
