The approachable side of the world's first single barrel bourbon — Blanton's Special Reserve is the lightest and most accessible expression in the Blanton's lineup, crafted at Buffalo Trace Distillery in Frankfort, Kentucky. While Blanton's Original Single Barrel pioneered the single barrel category in 1984, Special Reserve offers a softer, more approachable entry point into the Blanton's family — smooth, balanced, and unmistakably Blanton's. Presented in the iconic round bottle with the signature stopper, this 700ml expression is particularly popular in international markets.

• Palate: Smooth and well-balanced with honey, caramel, and soft spices — a lighter profile that maintains the signature Blanton's quality and character
• Finish: Clean, gentle, and slightly sweet with a refreshing, easy finish

Frequently Asked Questions

How does Special Reserve differ from Blanton's Original?

Blanton's Original Single Barrel is bottled at 93 proof with a richer, more complex character from individually selected barrels. Special Reserve is lighter in proof and profile — smoother and more approachable, making it an ideal introduction to the Blanton's family or a more sessionable everyday sipper for existing fans.

Why is this bottle 700ml instead of 750ml?

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

How should I serve it?

Excellent neat, on the rocks, or in cocktails. Its smooth, approachable character makes it a versatile sipper and a great base for a classic Bourbon Sour, Old Fashioned, or Mint Julep.
