Blanton's Single Barrel Straight Bourbon (Private Selection 2026)

Blanton's Single Barrel Straight Bourbon (Private Selection 2026) is a bottle of 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.

This bottle is exclusive to Top Shelf Wine and Spirits, and cannot be found anywhere else.

TASTING NOTES

NOSE

Very approachable and gentle with fresh cut green apple with caramel drizzle, with hints of tobacco.

PALATE

Upon first sip, a wave of freshly baked apple pie. As you find the undernotes, you'll taste slight tobacco and leather notes with a lingering sprinkle of cinnamon. 

FINISH

A long lasting slightly dry finish.
