Blanton's Straight From The Barrel (SFTB) is the uncut, unfiltered, and unapologetic apex of the Blanton’s lineup. Sourced exclusively from the center-cut of Warehouse H, this expression skips traditional proof reduction and chill-filtration, delivering the spirit exactly as it matured within the charred oak—pure, viscous, and intensely complex.

The Unfiltered Standard

Unlike the Original or Gold editions, SFTB is bottled at its natural barrel proof. This preserves the essential oils and esters that provide its legendary, heavy mouthfeel.

  • Natural Proof: Typically ranging from 125 to 135+, the ABV is a direct reflection of the barrel’s individual evaporation history.
  • Warehouse H: The metal-clad rickhouse forces the high-rye Mash Bill #2 deep into the wood, resulting in amplified butterscotch and resinous oak.
  • International Heritage: Originally an export-only gem, its 700ml bottle size is a hallmark of its global prestige and rarity in domestic markets.
Sensory Profile

Nose: Dark chocolate, heavy caramel, and walnut. Deep layers of hazelnut and seasoned oak develop as the high proof opens with aeration.

Palate: Incredibly viscous and coating. Warm vanilla, toasted nut, and butterscotch lead into a mid-palate of honey and dense oak.

Finish: Long, resonant, and warming. Sophisticated layers of dark chocolate and dry spice linger for minutes after the final sip.

The Portfolio Apex

SFTB sits atop the Blanton's hierarchy, offering the most "structural" experience in the portfolio. It is the target for those seeking the raw, barrel-proof intensity comparable to the Buffalo Trace Antique Collection.

"The ultimate expression of Buffalo Trace Mash Bill #2."

Collector Notes

Straight From The Barrel carries the highest secondary market premium of any standard Blanton's release. Collectors often "proof hunt" for specific barrels hitting the 130+ range, which command the highest desirability. Because of its 700ml size and export origins, it is a distinct visual outlier in any domestic bourbon vertical. Every bottle offered is verified for the integrity of its heavy wax seal and hand-labeled barrel data. Provenance is strictly verified to ensure authenticity for this highly targeted single barrel category.

Recommended Serving

This is a contemplative, high-proof bourbon that demands a Glencairn glass. While many enjoy the "Kentucky hug" of the full proof, a few drops of water will broaden the nose and allow the toasted nut and honey notes to emerge from beneath the initial heat. Not appropriate for cocktails; the raw finishing character is the entire focus.
