DESCRIPTION & TASTING PROFILE
Buy Blanton’s Black Label 750ml and you’re getting a paradox by design: a bourbon aged longer than the domestic Original yet bottled at a notably lower proof, producing one of the smoothest, most approachable expressions in the entire export lineup rather than a bolder one.

Sensory Tasting Notes
The Nose
Soft caramel and vanilla lead, with honey, orange peel, subtle florals, toasted oak, and a whisper of cinnamon.
The Palate
Smooth and refined, carrying butterscotch, light brown sugar, and dried fruit alongside vanilla cream, citrus zest, and gentle baking spice.
The Finish
Clean and silky, closing on soft caramel, light pepper, and delicate sweetness that trails off gently rather than lingering with heat.
The Heritage
According to Blanton’s International Sales and Marketing Manager John Shutt, the Red and Black labels were created specifically for the Japanese market, both requiring an 8-year minimum barrel selection versus the standard 6-year window used domestically — proof, he notes, that Blanton’s bottles by taste rather than age, since no expression in the lineup carries an official age statement on its label. Produced through Takara Shuzo, the brand’s original Japanese importer, Black Label has become a favorite among collectors specifically drawn to its unusual combination of extended aging and lower, gentler proof, distinguishing it from every other export expression in the family.
