Blantons Single Barrel Black Japanese 750ml

Blanton’s Single Barrel Black Japanese Edition – 750ml

Blanton’s Single Barrel Black Japanese Edition, commonly referred to by collectors as Blanton’s Takara Black, is a Japan-exclusive expression of the iconic Kentucky single barrel bourbon. Produced at Buffalo Trace Distillery and aged in the legendary Warehouse H, Black Edition offers a softer, lower-proof take on the classic Blanton’s profile while maintaining the mature oak and sweetness that enthusiasts expect from the brand.

Bottled at 80 proof, Takara Black is known for a smooth and approachable profile. The nose brings together vanilla, caramel, light florals, cedar, dried fruit, and gentle oak. On the palate, expect layers of toffee, honey, vanilla, citrus, subtle rye spice, and mature oak, followed by a clean finish with lingering sweetness, restrained spice, and soft wood character. As with any single barrel bourbon, flavor nuances can vary slightly from barrel to barrel.

One of the features that makes Takara Black especially interesting to collectors is its maturation. While the bottle carries no formal age statement, multiple sources associated with the Japanese release describe the selected barrels as receiving extended aging compared with standard Blanton’s, with Black commonly cited as being drawn from barrels at least eight years old.

For Blanton’s collectors and bourbon enthusiasts searching for international releases, Black Edition offers a distinctive combination of Japanese-market exclusivity, additional maturity, single-barrel character, and an easy-drinking 80-proof presentation. It is an excellent companion bottle to Takara Red and a unique addition to any broader Blanton’s collection.
