Blanton's
Single Barrel Gold Takara Japanese Edition
(0.75l,
51.5%*)
*please note that the ABV of this bottle may vary
Inside Warehouse H, the secret sweet spot where the first single barrel Bourbon, Blanton's Private Reserve, was born, some of the best and most sublime Bourbons are still made to this day.
One special one of them is Blanton's Takara Gold Edition. Distributed exclusively in Japan by Takara, this is one of the most sought-after and limited expressions on the market. Japanese know their Whisky, so they wanted something a bit extra from Blanton's. And Blanton's gave them a Bourbon that is aged for at least 8 years which is two years more than the requirement for the standard Gold variety. The resulting Spirit is a smooth and exceptionally complex offering that's bottled at 103 proof (51.5% ABV) and presented in a luxurious gold box, equipped with dark red wax surrounding the stopper, separating it from the standard gold versions.
*This bottle is a collector’s item; we will not be able to entertain any refunds or exchanges.

Pinhooking means purchasing and rearing a foal based on its pedigree and either selling it or turning it into a champ racing horse. The same idea is behind Pinhook Bourbon: they source young Whiskey to mature and blend it into a blue-ribbon sipping Bourbon.
Bourbon Is a ''new barrel Spirit'': One of the legal requirements for Bourbon is that it only be aged in brand new oak charred barrels.
Pinhook’s high-proof Bourbon won Gold at the 2019 San Francisco World Spirits Competition, while the Straight Rye Whiskey won Double Gold the following year. In 2021, their Bourbon War Vertical Series 5 Year and the 2021 Flagship Bourbon won a Gold Medal each, with a Double Gold going to their Tiz Rye Time Vertical Series 5 Year. Pinhook is evidently doing something right!
The Buffalo Trace Distillery was one of the few production facilities that was allowed to remain in operation during Prohibition for "medicinal purposes."
"Remember that iconic poster from World War II showing Rosie the Riveter as a patriotic American woman doing her part for the war effort? Well, hundreds of businesses did their part too, and the Bourbon distillers stepped right up with ‘em.
Distilleries all over Kentucky and Tennessee were re-tooled to distill fuel alcohol and ferment penicillin cultures to treat wounded soldiers."

Bourbons have very prominent notes of vanilla, as American White Oak is naturally high in vanillins.
