Blanton's Gold Single Barrel and Buffalo Trace Single Barrel Bourbon Whiskey Bundle
Blanton's Gold: 51.5% ABV (103 proof) | Buffalo Trace Single Barrel Select: 45% ABV (90 proof) | 2 × 750mL | Frankfort, Kentucky — This Buffalo Trace Distillery single-barrel duo pairs two legends of Warehouse H and beyond: Blanton's Gold Edition, the 103-proof higher-octane sibling of the world's first single-barrel bourbon, alongside Buffalo Trace Single Barrel Select, the distillery's own hand-picked barrel program bottling at 90 proof.
Blanton's Gold takes the Mash Bill #2 high-rye recipe from the distillery's only all-metal warehouse — where bigger temperature swings push more wood into the whiskey — and bottles it uncut at 103 proof instead of the standard 93: honey, caramel, brown sugar, and vanilla with citrus zest, clove, and lively rye spice. Next to it, the Buffalo Trace Single Barrel Select showcases Mash Bill #1: vanilla, mint, molasses, and caramel over brown sugar, toffee, dark fruit, and anise in a long, smooth finish. One bundle, two single-barrel expressions of the most allocated distillery in Kentucky — available to order online at Del Mesa Liquor in San Diego, CA.

Taste the two side by side, neat: the Blanton's Gold first at 103 proof, then the gentler 90-proof Buffalo Trace to compare. A single large cube works for both if you prefer them chilled.
Frequently asked questions
What is in this bundle?
Two 750mL bottles: Blanton's Gold Edition Single Barrel Bourbon (103 proof) and Buffalo Trace Single Barrel Select Bourbon (90 proof) — both from Buffalo Trace Distillery.
What is the difference between Blanton's Gold and regular Blanton's?
Blanton's Gold is bottled at 103 proof versus 93 proof for Blanton's Original — the same Warehouse H single-barrel character at a higher, export-market strength.
Is Buffalo Trace Single Barrel the same as the regular Buffalo Trace?
No — the Single Barrel Select program bottles individual barrels unblended (often with a retailer-selection barrel sticker), rather than the standard small-batch blend.
