Blanton's Single Barrel Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey Miniature
Blanton's Single Barrel Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey Miniature
Blanton's Single Barrel Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey Miniature is available at Gifted Pour, your destination for iconic American spirits with fast, reliable delivery. This collectible miniature brings the full character of one of the world's most recognized single barrel bourbons into a compact format — ideal for gifting, sampling, or rounding out a whiskey collection.
Blanton's holds a storied place in bourbon history as one of the first commercially marketed single barrel bourbons, introduced by Buffalo Trace Distillery in 1984. Each barrel is hand-selected from Warehouse H, known for its metal roof and dramatic temperature swings that accelerate interaction between spirit and charred American oak. The result is a bourbon with a consistency of character that is remarkable given the inherently variable nature of single barrel production.
Best appreciated neat or with a few drops of water to open up the aromatics, this miniature delivers the same barrel-driven complexity found in the full-size expression. It also serves as an elegant foundation for a classic bourbon cocktail when only a small pour is needed.

Why Gifted Pour recommends it
A 50 ml miniature is a small bottle with a lot of story. This one holds the single barrel bourbon that Buffalo Trace Distillery introduced in 1984 as one of the first commercially marketed in the category. Each barrel is hand-selected from Warehouse H, where a metal roof and dramatic temperature swings speed up the interaction between spirit and charred American oak. In the glass that becomes warm caramel, vanilla and citrus zest, then rich corn sweetness, candied orange, cinnamon and nutmeg over a firm oak backbone, finishing with honey and a gentle spice fade. It suits the bourbon-curious friend who wants to taste a landmark bottling, the collector rounding out a shelf, or a Father's Day or thank-you basket that needs a considered extra. Because it comes from a single barrel, there is a slightly wild, individual edge that makes even a small pour feel personal. Suggest they pour it neat into a Glencairn, give it a minute and perhaps a few drops of water, and let the aromas open.
Pairs well with
- Father's Day gift basket — Its caramel, vanilla and baking-spice profile is a classic bourbon experience that makes a thoughtful, compact addition alongside other treats for Dad.
- Pecan pie or pralines — The butterscotch, caramel and cinnamon notes echo the toasted, brown-sugar sweetness of pecan desserts.
- Orange-dark chocolate after dinner — Candied orange and dried orange peel in the bourbon mirror the citrus in the chocolate, while the firm oak backbone stands up to its bitterness.
Questions about this bottle
How big is this bottle?
It is a 50 ml miniature. It delivers the same barrel-driven complexity as the full-size Blanton's Single Barrel in a compact format suited to gifting, sampling, or adding to a whiskey collection.
What does Blanton's Single Barrel taste like?
Expect caramel, vanilla, citrus zest and toasted oak on the nose, with butterscotch and dried orange peel developing. The palate brings rich corn sweetness, rye spice, candied orange, dried fruit, cinnamon and nutmeg. The medium-long finish lingers with vanilla, gentle oak tannins, honey and toasted grain.
Who makes it, and what does single barrel mean here?
It is produced by Buffalo Trace Distillery in Kentucky. Each bottling comes from one hand-selected barrel aged in Warehouse H, so every barrel carries a slightly individual character rather than being blended with others, while the overall style stays notably consistent.
How should the recipient drink it?
It is best appreciated neat or with a few drops of water to open the aromatics, ideally in a Glencairn or rocks glass after a minute of rest. It also works as the base for a classic Old Fashioned, Manhattan, or Bourbon Smash when only a small pour is needed.
