Description

Blanton’s Single Barrel Red Takara – Japan’s Cult Bourbon

The Story Behind the Liquid

Born from Buffalo Trace’s 1984 deal with Takara Shuzo, this 93 proof whiskey was made just for Japan’s luxury buyers. It uses Buffalo Trace’s high-rye mash bill with 70% corn, 20% rye, and 10% malted barley. The spirit is distilled in traditional copper pot stills and aged 6 to 8 years on the top floors of Warehouse H. Seasonal changes in Kentucky push the bourbon into charred oak barrels, drawing out vanilla, orange, and leather notes that Japanese enthusiasts favor.

From Barrel to Fame

✔ Japan-only release, sold as “Blanton’s Red” to Takara’s top clients
✔ Single barrel selection, with each bottle hand-filled from center-cut barrels
✔ Bottled at 93 proof, uncut to show marzipan and spicy honey flavors
✔ Won 97 points at the 2019 Tokyo Whisky Awards, for best bourbon
✔ Pairs well with sushi-grade tuna or matcha desserts

The warehouse’s changing temperatures give this bourbon a smooth, well-balanced taste. It became a favorite among Tokyo’s whisky fans.
