Frequently Asked Questions

How does Special Reserve differ from Blanton's Original?

Blanton's Original Single Barrel is bottled at 93 proof with a richer, more complex character from individually selected barrels. Special Reserve is lighter in proof and profile — smoother and more approachable, making it an ideal introduction to the Blanton's family or a more sessionable everyday sipper for existing fans.

Why is this bottle 700ml instead of 750ml?

The 700ml format is standard in many international markets, particularly in Europe and Asia. Blanton's Special Reserve is produced primarily for international distribution, which is why it's available in 700ml rather than the 750ml standard in the US market.

How should I serve it?

Excellent neat, on the rocks, or in cocktails. Its smooth, approachable character makes it a versatile sipper and a great base for a classic Bourbon Sour, Old Fashioned, or Mint Julep.
