{"product_id":"blantons-bourbon-bottled-5-31-1991","title":"Blantons Bourbon Bottled 5\/31 1991","description":"First introduced by Master Distiller Elmer T. Lee, Blanton’s helped define the modern single-barrel bourbon category in the United States. This bottle comes from the Ancient Age era of the distillery, before the site was renamed Buffalo Trace by Sazerac in 1999.\u003cbr\u003eThis is a vintage 1991 bottling of Blanton’s Single Barrel Bourbon, dumped on May 31, 1991. Early Blanton’s bottlings are sought after because they represent an earlier production period at what is now Buffalo Trace Distillery. Notably, this 1991 release predates the collectible eight-letter stopper set introduced in 1999, making its original unlettered stopper a key identifier of its era.\u003cbr\u003eBlanton’s is aged in Warehouse H, the distillery’s metal-clad warehouse commissioned under Albert B. Blanton. The warehouse is known for more dramatic temperature swings than traditional brick warehouses, contributing to faster maturation and a distinctive barrel-aging environment.\u003cbr\u003eA strong bottle for collectors focused on early Blanton’s, vintage Ancient Age production, or date-specific bourbon releases.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDump Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e May 31, 1991\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDistillery:\u003c\/strong\u003e Ancient Age, pre-Buffalo Trace\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWarehouse:\u003c\/strong\u003e H\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStopper:\u003c\/strong\u003e Unlettered, pre-1999 standard\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProof:\u003c\/strong\u003e 93 proof, 46.5% ABV\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Blantons","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48676052599001,"sku":"210000048618","price":1299.97,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0350\/4717\/8372\/files\/hjd91gq9w5fvlpwofhiw.jpg?v=1778453659","url":"https:\/\/flaskfinewines.com\/products\/blantons-bourbon-bottled-5-31-1991","provider":"Flask","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
