Blanton’s Single Barrel Takara Gold Bourbon Whiskey (750mL)

Blanton’s Single Barrel Takara Gold Bourbon Whiskey (750mL) — Rare Japanese-Exclusive Blanton’s with Extended Aging & 103 Proof

Discover one of the most sought-after international expressions of Blanton’s with Blanton’s Single Barrel Takara Gold Bourbon Whiskey. Originally created for the Japanese export market, Takara Gold represents an elevated interpretation of the legendary Blanton’s Single Barrel Bourbon, combining the brand’s signature single-barrel character with additional maturation and a higher 103 Proof (51.5% ABV) bottling strength.

Produced at the historic Buffalo Trace Distillery in Frankfort, Kentucky, Blanton’s Takara Gold is drawn from individual barrels and bottled one barrel at a time. Often referred to by collectors as Blanton’s Gold Takara or Takara Gold, this elusive Japanese-market expression is especially prized for its rich concentration, mature oak character, dark fruit, caramel, vanilla, and warming spice. Its limited availability in the United States makes it an exceptional centerpiece for serious Blanton’s and Buffalo Trace collectors.
