Frequently Asked Questions

How does Gold Edition differ from Blanton's Original?

Blanton's Original Single Barrel is bottled at 93 proof — the standard US expression. Gold Edition is bottled at 103 proof, delivering a noticeably richer, more intense character with greater depth and complexity. It is widely considered the best everyday expression in the Blanton's lineup for those who want more than the Original without going to full cask strength.

Where does it fit in the Blanton's lineup?

The Blanton's lineup moves from lightest to most intense: Special Reserve → Original Single Barrel (93 proof) → Gold Edition (103 proof) → Straight From the Barrel (uncut cask strength). Gold sits in the sweet spot — more character than the Original, more approachable than cask strength.

Why is this bottle 700ml?

The 700ml format is the international standard. Blanton's Gold Edition is produced primarily for international markets, which is why it's available in 700ml rather than the 750ml US standard.
