Top Shelf Blantons Gold Store Pick Single Barrel 2024 Edition

The Ultimate Holy Grail: Top Shelf's 2024 Private Barrel Pick

When standard Blanton's Original isn't quite exclusive enough, you step up to the Gold. And when standard Gold isn't rare enough? You reach for our Top Shelf Blanton’s Gold Store Pick (2024 Edition).

Hand-selected directly from the legendary, metal-clad Warehouse H at Buffalo Trace, this ultra-rare single barrel expression represents the absolute pinnacle of Mashbill #2. Bottled at a robust 103 proof (51.5% ABV), our 2024 private barrel selection coaxes out a deeper, darker, and spicier complexity than the standard worldwide releases.

If you are looking for the crown jewel of your bourbon collection, you just found it.

Tasting Notes

"An absolute symphony of dark fruits, heavy oak, and rich baking spices. Our 2024 barrel select pushes the boundaries of how complex a high-rye bourbon can get."

  • Nose: An inviting wave of rich caramel, toasted vanilla, and sweet tobacco, layered with dark honey, dried apricots, and a subtle hint of citrus zest.

  • Palate: Bold and velvety. Front-loaded with butterscotch, dark chocolate, and candied orange peel. Mid-palate, the 103 proof asserts itself beautifully with warm rye spice, clove, and cinnamon.

  • Finish: Exceptionally long, warm, and harmonious. Lingering notes of charred oak, vanilla bean, and a sophisticated touch of leather that begs for another sip.
