Just before his retirement, he introduced the world to single-barrel bourbon with the release of Blanton's Single barrel named in honor of the gentleman who hired him back in 1949.

Tasting Notes

"Once the nose opens a little, the spice flows freely. It's warm with an inviting baked apple crisp with vanilla ice cream aroma. The palate finds more oats, apples, cinnamon, caramel and oak. The finish is long and spicy with the cinnamon prevailing note. "
