Albert Bacon Blanton is the forefather of the distillery. Today, Blanton or the Buffalo Trace Distillery has 144 buildings and is one of the largest distilleries anywhere. This handcrafted Kentucky whiskey is issued in limited bottles and was once reserved only for ambassadors, Blanton family dignitaries and their friends. Blanton's are always pure in nature and never blended. The barrel data is still written by hand on the label. The Blanton's Single Barrel Bourbon Red Label is based on the original Blanton's Single Barrel Bourbon. However, the Red Label matures for an additional 2 years in oak barrels.
