Blanton's Straight From The Barrel Bourbon 700mL
Blanton's Straight From The Barrel Bourbon is available at Gifted Pour, your destination for rare and sought-after spirits with fast, reliable delivery. Bottled directly from a single barrel at full cask strength, this expression is one of the most distinctive releases in the Blanton's lineup — unchanged by dilution or blending.
Produced at Buffalo Trace Distillery in Frankfort, Kentucky, Blanton's holds the distinction of being widely recognized as the first commercially marketed single barrel bourbon. Straight From The Barrel takes that legacy a step further by delivering the whiskey exactly as it emerges from the warehouse — uncut and unfiltered. Each barrel yields a unique bottling with its own proof, making every release a genuinely individual expression of the distillery's Warehouse H aging program and the #1 rickhouse environment that defines its flavor profile.
Best appreciated neat or with a few drops of water to open up the concentrated flavors. The full proof intensity rewards slow sipping and reveals new layers as the glass breathes. It also anchors an exceptional Old Fashioned or Manhattan for those who prefer their cocktails with backbone.

Why Gifted Pour recommends it
A bottle drawn from a single barrel and left uncut and unfiltered makes a gift that feels personal, because no two are quite alike: each barrel yields its own proof. Produced at Buffalo Trace Distillery in Frankfort, Kentucky, this full cask strength expression suits the bourbon lover who already knows Blanton's and wants to taste it exactly as it leaves the warehouse. It is a fitting way to mark a promotion, a milestone birthday, or Father's Day. In the glass, rich caramel and dark toffee lead into toasted oak, dried orange peel and butterscotch, followed by a bold, concentrated palate of vanilla, baking spice and charred oak with dried cherry and fig. The finish is long and warming, fading to dark chocolate and a faint floral note. Encourage the recipient to pour slowly, let it rest a few minutes in a Glencairn, and add a single drop of water to open the aromatics. It also builds an Old Fashioned or Manhattan with real backbone.
Pairs well with
- Dark chocolate desserts — The finish fades into dark chocolate, so a bittersweet torte or truffles echo and extend that last note.
- Aged cheddar and dried figs — The dried cherry and fig notes on the palate meet the fruit directly, while the caramel sweetness balances a sharp, nutty cheese.
- Father's Day gift — A bold, full proof single barrel bourbon with deep caramel, toffee and charred oak gives a whiskey-loving dad something to sip slowly and savor.
