Blanton Whiskey & Glasses - IN ROOM ONLY
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.

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 horse and jockey atop the bottle
stoppers are now a recognized trademark of
Blanton's Single Barrel Bourbon.
