Blanton’s Single Barrel Red Takara Japanese Edition Bourbon Whiskey 750mL is one of the most coveted and limited Blanton’s releases in the world. Produced by the legendary Buffalo Trace Distillery exclusively for Japan’s Takara Shuzo Co., this special edition showcases the artistry and heritage of the world’s first single-barrel bourbon in an elegant, collector-grade package.

Aged longer than the standard Blanton’s Original, the Red Takara Edition delivers a richer, oak-driven character while maintaining the signature smoothness and balance that defines the Blanton’s name. Bottled at 93 proof, this rare expression offers deeper complexity, refined sweetness, and a warm, luxurious finish that highlights the bourbon’s premium craftsmanship.

Each bottle is hand-filled, hand-labeled, and individually numbered—true to the meticulous process that makes Blanton’s a global benchmark for single-barrel excellence.
