Three bottles from Buffalo Trace Distillery in Frankfort, Kentucky, covering the flagship, the ten year old and the bourbon that started the single barrel category. Buffalo Trace Kentucky Straight Bourbon is the distillery's signature expression and the benchmark by which the rest of the range is measured. Bottled at 90 proof from a low rye mash bill and aged in new charred oak, it pours a deep amber and offers brown sugar, vanilla and mint on the nose, then a palate of toffee, dark fruit and anise with a long, smooth finish. It is one of the most awarded bourbons in the world and remains outstanding value. Eagle Rare 10 Year takes the same house style and gives it a decade in oak, bottled at 90 proof. Expect toffee, candied almonds and orange peel on the nose, then a bold, dry palate of oak, leather and cocoa with a hint of tobacco, closing long and dry. Blanton's The Original Single Barrel is the whiskey that created the single barrel category in 1984, the first bourbon ever bottled from one cask rather than a blend of many. Drawn from the metal clad Warehouse H and hand labelled with the dump date, barrel number, warehouse and rick, every bottle is slightly different, and each is topped with one of the eight collectible racehorse and jockey stoppers that spell B-L-A-N-T-O-N-S. It is bottled at 93 proof, creamy and full bodied, with vanilla, caramel and soft citrus giving way to honey, brown sugar and gentle peppercorn spice. Please note that Blanton's barrel details vary from bottle to bottle. Together these three make an excellent vertical tasting through one distillery's range, an impressive gift, and a straightforward way to secure allocated bottles in a single order.

FAQ
What is included in this bundle?
One 750ml bottle each of Buffalo Trace Kentucky Straight Bourbon at 90 proof, Eagle Rare 10 Year at 90 proof, and Blanton's The Original Single Barrel at 93 proof.
Will my Blanton's bottle match the photo exactly?
Every Blanton's is bottled from a single barrel, so the dump date, barrel number, warehouse and rick are hand written on each label and vary. The proof remains 93 across all of them.
Which stopper will my Blanton's come with?
There are eight collectible stoppers spelling B-L-A-N-T-O-N-S, randomly distributed, so the letter cannot be selected.
Are all three from the same distillery?
Yes. All three are produced at Buffalo Trace Distillery in Frankfort, Kentucky.
Is this a good tasting flight?
Yes. The three show the same house style at different levels: the flagship, the same profile with a decade in oak, and a single barrel expression.
