The first bourbon to have been bottled by barrel in 1984, The Original revolutionized and restored its nobility to American whiskey. Bottled from a single barrel each time, each version is unique. Titling 46.5%, Blanton's Original is the flagship reference in the range.

Special Reserve is a lower strength single barrel bourbon from Blanton's. Each bottle is hand-filled, hand-labeled, hand-sealed and individually numbered.
