Blanton's Single Barrel Limited Edition 2017 / M&P Wine and Spirits Festival 

First introduced by then Ancient Age distillery Master Distiller, Elmer T. Lee, Blanton's was the first single barrel bourbon popularised in the US. Ancient Age was renamed the Buffalo Trace distillery by the Sazerac company in 1999.

Normally a 6 to 8 year old bourbon, it is aged in Warehouse H at Buffalo Trace, which is the only metal-clad warehouse at the distillery, commissioned for construction by Albert B. Blanton, after whom the whiskey is named. The warehouse was built shortly after prohibition and being metal, transfers heat quicker than brick warehouses, allowing for more rapid ageing.

This is a 2017 bottling, dumped on the 18th July and matured in barrel #913.

Stored on rick No.14 and bottled at 100 proof for the 2017 M&P Wine & Spirits festival.
