Blanton’s 40th Anniversary Special Edition Bourbon

Blanton’s 40th Anniversary Special Edition Bourbon is a one-time release created to mark four decades of the original single barrel bourbon—one of the most important innovations in modern whiskey.

This isn’t a standard Blanton’s. It’s a cask strength, hand-selected single barrel release, built to reflect the highest level of what the distillery can produce. Bottled at full proof with no dilution, it delivers a deeper, more concentrated version of the classic Blanton’s profile.

Each bottle comes from a carefully chosen barrel and is presented in upgraded packaging with a distinctive white horse stopper, reinforcing its position as a true collector’s piece.

This is not a daily drinker. It’s a milestone release.

Why Buy Blanton’s 40th Anniversary Special Edition

This bottle exists for one reason: significance.

It marks the creation of the single barrel category—something Blanton’s introduced in 1984—and represents that legacy in its most concentrated form.

You’re getting:

• a one-time anniversary release
• cask strength Blanton’s (rare in itself)
• a collector-grade bottle with distinct presentation

For collectors, this is a cornerstone bottle. For drinkers, it’s Blanton’s at its fullest intensity.
