Two of the most chased bottles at Buffalo Trace, together in one bundle. Both come from the same distillery in Frankfort, Kentucky, and both are allocated releases that rarely sit on a shelf, which makes buying them as a pair unusually convenient. Eagle Rare 10 Year is a Kentucky straight bourbon aged a full decade, bottled at 90 proof and built on Buffalo Trace's low rye mash bill. A decade in oak gives it real depth without heaviness: the nose opens with toffee, candied almonds and orange peel over dried cherry and honey, while the palate is bold and dry with oak, leather, cocoa and a hint of tobacco. The finish is long, dry and lingering. It has collected an enormous number of awards over the years and remains one of the best value aged bourbons in America when you can find it. Blanton's The Original Single Barrel is the whiskey that created the single barrel category in 1984, the first bourbon ever bottled from one barrel rather than a blend of many. Every bottle is drawn from a single cask in the metal clad Warehouse H, hand filled and hand labelled with the dump date, barrel number, warehouse and rick, so no two bottles are quite alike. Bottled at 93 proof, it is creamy and full bodied, with vanilla, caramel and soft citrus on the nose, then honey, brown sugar and gentle peppercorn spice over a dry oak backbone. Each bottle is topped with one of the eight collectible racehorse and jockey stoppers that together spell out B-L-A-N-T-O-N-S. Please note that Blanton's barrel details vary from bottle to bottle, as every release comes from a different cask. This bundle makes an outstanding gift for a serious bourbon drinker, a strong side by side tasting, or simply a way to secure two hard to find bottles in one order.

FAQ
What is included in this bundle?

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, and they are randomly distributed, so the letter cannot be selected.
