In 1959, Colonel Blanton passed away. He was a true Kentucky gentleman and bourbon aristocrat. He spent over half a century, and the better part of his life, dedicated to the pursuit of crafting the world’s finest bourbon. A bourbon traditionalist at heart, and as Elmer T. Lee recalled, Colonel Blanton would occasionally bottle one barrel at a time, much the same way as Kentucky’s earliest bourbon pioneers. He would handpick a barrel from the center cut of Warehouse H and bottle its bourbon to entertain friends, family, and dignitaries. A statue of Colonel Blanton stands at the distillery today. At its base it reads:
Loved And Respected
Master Distiller And
True Kentucky Gentleman.
He Dedicated 55 Years Of His
Life To The Service Of
His Community And His Company.
That His Inspired Leadership
May Live In The Minds Of Those
With Whom He Lived And Of
Those Who Follow. This Memorial
Is Erected With Gratitude And Honor.
How Blanton's Came to Be
Single Barrel Bourbon started with Blanton’s in 1984. Nearing retirement, Master Distiller Elmer T. Lee was tasked with creating a bourbon of exceptionally high quality. With careful reflection, he recalled the earlier days of his career in the late 1940s when he worked under Colonel Albert B. Blanton. Colonel Blanton was the president of the distillery until 1952. Mr. Lee remembered that when Colonel Blanton would entertain dignitaries and other important guests he would handpick “honey barrels” from the center cut of Warehouse H and have that bourbon bottled one barrel at a time. As a tribute to Colonel Blanton’s old tradition, Elmer T. Lee decided to name this new bourbon “Blanton’s Single Barrel”.
Elmer T. Lee introduced the world to Blanton’s Single Barrel Bourbon a year before he retired. In doing so, he revolutionized the industry by creating the “super premium” category of bourbon with the world’s first single barrel bourbon. This idea was somewhat radical at the time because it challenged the identity of what most folks thought bourbon to be. Today, most distilleries offer one or more single barrel bottlings, but Blanton’s was the first, and we still believe the finest, single barrel on the market.
The Stoppers
The horse and jockey atop the bottle stoppers are now a recognized trademark of Blanton's Single Barrel Bourbon. The rich heritage and tradition of horses in Kentucky parallel that of bourbon. This is our way of paying homage to this Kentucky heritage. Beginning in 1999 a collector's set of eight different stoppers was produced. The set features a horse and jockey in different strides and poses resembling the stages of a horse race, from beginning to end. Each stopper is marked with a single letter that spells Blanton's when the set has been completed. The final stopper, marked by “S” always finishes the race in victory!

Kentucky's Bourbon Tradition
While law does not require bourbon to be made in Kentucky, the Bluegrass state produces approximately 95% of the world’s supply. There are several primary reasons Kentucky remains the bourbon capital of the world today. Kentucky was America’s original west. When early settlers moved West in search of more land and resources many settled in what is now the Commonwealth of Kentucky. These settlers of Scottish, German and Irish descent brought with them their stills and distilling knowledge. They quickly discovered that Kentucky was the ideal place to make great whiskey.
Blanton's Single Barrel Bourbon is a limited-edition bourbon whiskey that's aged for 6 to 8 years in new charred oak barrels at Buffalo Trace. It has a deep amber color, and tasting notes of nutmeg, spices, vanilla, honey, caramel, and corn.
Memphis is seeing 3x times more Blanton's this year. If a store got a case last Feb, they likely got 3 this year. Several store owners told me as much. That BT expansion is starting to show on the low level allocated bottles( ER, Horse Top, BT) Also seeing lots more 1792 BiB, FP and SB 14:16 thats owned by Saz as well.
Yeah either the bubble is about to pop or just get bigger
Fireball dragon reserve?
For the finer parties
I sure hope you grabbed that last bottle of Eagle Rare 🤣
I have a bottle so I left it for the next guy
Great video major. Definitely blind the staggs
That is what I am thinking about it, unless someone comes up with a better idea
I didn't know they had smaller bottles!!!
Which ones?
@@MajorXero Basil Haden!
@domh22789 oh! Yeah, cute little thing
That handle of OGD was the 80 proofer not bonded
Yeah I am a dumb dumb
@@MajorXerodidn't want you to get it home before you realized it was the low proofer
@johnboy66717 thanks! It will be a future purchase
GREAT STORES GOOD HUNT
Thank you!
So much hate for willet.. I got a bottle at their distillery.. and it's usually picked Middle of pack and sometimes top during blinds..
Man that finish is horrible.
I've heard older bottles not good at all.. newer bottles for those who tried again said it was "good" maybe I got a newer bottle.. I enjoy as an OF or with coke.. friends having been rating it mid to high in blinds..
I may have to go to the distillery and dona tasting
The sample I had at the distillery was night and day better than the bottle I purchased from them.. but the bottle I have doesn't have a bad finish.. not a great finish either.. just average...
I may go to the distillery someday if I can find a coupon
Just got me a gold last week. Saving that one for a special rainy day
I have had just a sip of the gold but I do like it
@MajorXero great rainy day, my store was holding a second gold for me so looks like tonight is my rainy day
@ss-hole when it rains it pours 😀
Handle of OGD i told you about lol
I know! I listen
2024 13 colonies price?
I believe 49
5 к Subscr , congradulation !!!
Thank you!!!!
I think EH taylor Small batch is better than blantons. If you can get an EHT single barrel even better
I agree with that, you can't deny the power of the horsey
Loved this! We finally found it at one store near us for $89 I believe. First time we’ve ever seen it in the wild🤣
89.is pretty close to our average
Nothing like paying secondary prices at a retailer 😂 keep it moving, I’m with you $89 what a 🤡
We are stuck with what we can get here
Congrats on 5 K, i absolutely love the hunt vidoes
Thank you. I get a ton of hate! I am so thankful for you being positive
Keep ‘em, coming Major. Enjoy your videos and looking forward to seeing the bar.
Thank you live coming
Congratulations on 5K! Well done.
Thank you so much!
Congrats on 5k! I like how the last store takes checks with two forms of ID or dental records!
You have to love small stores in the south
Can you pick me a bottle of Blantons
Sorry I can't, but if you join the discord, there are some guys on the bottle share channel that can
Hey Major if you are refering to Eagle Rare , Yes I really like it , Eagle was my very first Bourbon I tried when a freind bought it to my cave to convince me to get off the Crown Royal XO and Try Bourbon after that it was Bourbon all the way for me. I like Blanton's also but its not really a regular for me, One of my other Favorites is EH Taylor Small Batch all 3 of those are not that easy to come by here in South Louisiana .... Thanks
thought you said you picked up a blantons
Enjoyed..... Salute. Thank You.
Thank you!
Hey man happy 5k subs!
Thank you!
Enjoy watching, however, please please please don't use the belt joke with Basil- its old and a bad joke.
People complain if I do and complain if I don't I may have to coin flip it
Another great haul video - wish we had Blanton's that available in MD for those prices 🥃
What are the prices where you are
@@MajorXero If I see them on a shelf, they are well over $100 - I have a couple of places I go regularly that I'm sure I could get one at retail - but I like to save that card for something harder to get 😉
@erinodonovan5459 wr usually see it foe 129 so these are great prices
Got an OGD bib the other day for only 20.00. Gonna open it up this weekend!!
Nice, let me know ow what you think
Hey Major , I would pick up the Eagle anytime I would see it Under $40, Blanton's seems to be plentiful in your area , I actually picked up my 1st Bottle of Blanton's this year last week..... Thanks
Have your tried it? I didn't get it, thought I would save it for the next guy
Man, I wish Blantons was that cheap where I am. I’ve never seen it for less than 299. I had to have a buddy of mine ship me one from Virginia to get one.
Whoa you need a road trip here
Sounds like it lol
Let me know and Inwill be your guide
Nice
Notice the JD Bonded has the same label type and bottle stopper as the JD 10 and 12 year? It's delicious so I wonder about that. The Bonded is a sleeper. 5,000 subs coming up!! You're the Tater King.
I humbly accept the title of tator king
Willet 🫣😵
Hahahahshs
Mellow corn is the best value in the history of the planet.
I agree buttered popcorn in a bottle
3 stores
you 🐐🐐🐐
Best way to use my lunch break
Love from Indiana ❤
Lots of good whiskey coming out of Indiana
Good job. Cheers 🥃👋👍
Cheers!
Just not a fan of Blantons or eagle 😕
Eagle grew on me
Let’s see the Blantons
All three times
Oh the horsies!
Who doesn't love horses
Lets Gooooo!
Who hunts for Blantons anymore? Even at 90$ it’s 30$ over priced. It’s like asking 80$ for eagle rare. As folks who know more than me say “Just not worth it” compared to so much available if you’re educated.
super hunted in our area, where are you located?
Same deal here in NY
Anything you think I should be hunting?
Who told you about the full Benchmark line? What store?
Whiskey Business!
