Once again happy to announce the arrival of our hand selected single barrel of Blanton’s Bourbon. These arrived just in time for our annual whiskey raffle. As a celebration we will be offering 3 raffle tickets on the 750ml bottles form this Redstone hand selected Blanton’s barrel.

Here are some tasting notes from our Redstone Exclusive barrel
Nose: A spicy aroma of Dried Citrus and Orange Peels with a burst of Caramel and hint of Vanilla.

Palate Entry: Full bodied, marked by a mix of Burnt Sugar, Caramel, Toasted Vanilla Orange, and Cloves.

Finish: Balanced with Vanilla, Honey, and slight Citrus.

Best Served: Any way you like it…Straight, on ice, or used in a premium cocktail.

The finest bourbon in the world comes from a single barrel. That’s the way Colonel Albert B. Blanton first bottled his private reserve bourbon nearly a century ago. Blanton believed the “center-cut” or middle sections of Warehouse H were the best for aging his bourbon. Personally tasting and choosing each barrel, these barrels were reserved and bottled for ambassadors, dignitaries, family and friends becoming the world’s first single barrel bourbon. His time honored tradition lives on today as only a handful of barrels from the center of Warehouse H are selected to become Blanton’s Single Barrel Bourbon.
