Made from a unique mash bill of corn, rye, and malted barley, this expression is made exclusively for the Japanese market. The Single Barrel Takara Red is similar to the Original Single Barrel Bourbon, with one key difference: it's aged for an additional 2 years, making this 8-year-old into a refined and complex spirit. \u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\r\nGrab this rare and unique bottle today!\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"caskers-brand-info\"\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"story-subtitle\"\u003eAbout Blanton's\u003c\/h2\u003e\n                                            In the winter of 1881, Albert Bacon Blanton was born on a farm situated just outside of Frankfort, Kentucky. At the age of 16, Blanton began working at the Old Fire Copper Distillery (often abbreviated O.F.C. Distillery) as an office boy. Over the next few years, Blanton reportedly worked in every department at the distillery. By the age of 20, he was appointed the superintendent of O.F.C, and worked there until his retirement in 1952.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\r\nMuch like his mentor, E.H. Taylor, Blanton was a traditional bourbon aristocrat, wedded to the production of Kentucky straight bourbon whiskey. Blanton identified a certain section of Warehouse H at his distillery, which he believed was the best for aging bourbon, and would personally select individual barrels from the section to bottle for his own private reserve.                                        \u003cdiv class=\"brand-link\"\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.caskers.com\/blanton-s\/\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eExplore all Blanton's bottles \u0026gt;\u0026gt;\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"caskers-spirit-type-info\"\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"story-subtitle\"\u003eAbout Bourbon\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere are not many things more American than bourbon, and although most of it is produced in Kentucky, it can be produced all over the USA.\u003cbr\u003eIt must be made with at least 51% corn and bottled at 40% ABV or higher.
