Released in 1984 as the final masterpiece of Master Distiller Elmer T. Lee, it was the first bourbon commercially marketed as a single-cask expression. Named for Colonel Albert B. Blanton, it honors the tradition of selecting the \"center cut\" of the rickhouse for the distillery’s most prestigious guests.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!-- 2.

Despite expanded production, allocation remains extremely tight. Every bottle offered is verified for hand-label legibility and the integrity of the specific horse-and-jockey stopper.
