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.

**Individual orders are limited to one item per person, as we wish to give everyone the opportunity to participate.

***Any kind of transit damage is insured and will be reimbursed.

Bourbons are very high in vanilla, as American White Oak is naturally high in vanillins.
Whisky or Whiskey? The spelling differs geographically. In Scotland, Japan, and some other parts of the world, distilleries usually spell it Whisky; in Ireland and the USA, they spell it Whiskey.

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 rules refer to manufacturing methods rather than location. Bourbon must be matured in new and charred American white oak casks for at least 2 years. If the bottle has no age statement, the Bourbon is at least 4 years old. No coloring or flavoring of any type is allowed, and the mash bill must contain at least 51% corn.
Bourbons have very prominent notes of vanilla, as American White Oak is naturally high in vanillins.

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!
