The bourbon that invented the single-barrel category back in 1984, drawn one barrel at a time from the center cut of Buffalo Trace's Warehouse H. Each bottle wears a hand-dipped wax seal and a horse-and-jockey stopper — collect all eight to spell BLANTONS. Caramel, vanilla, citrus peel, light rye spice; honey, toffee, baked apple, oak, nutmeg; warm clove-and-char finish.

Producer: Buffalo Trace Distillery (Sazerac), Frankfort KY. ABV: 46.5% (93 proof). Not formally certified — stocked as inherently kosher unflavored bourbon. Neat in a Glencairn or one large rock.
