About Blantons Barrel Proof Bourbon

Blantons Barrel Proof Bourbon is a Kentucky straight bourbon produced at Buffalo Trace Distillery in Frankfort, Kentucky. Unlike many bourbons that are diluted before bottling, Blantons Barrel Proof Bourbon is bottled directly from the barrel at full natural proof.

Because it is bottled at barrel strength, Blantons Barrel Proof delivers an intense and concentrated flavor profile. Rich notes of caramel, vanilla, dark chocolate, toasted oak, and baking spice develop during the aging process inside charred oak barrels.

Each bottle of Blantons Barrel Proof comes from a single barrel, meaning slight variations in proof and flavor may occur between releases while maintaining the distinctive character of the Blanton’s brand.
