Frequently Asked Questions

How does Black Edition differ from Blanton's Special Reserve and Original?

The Blanton's lineup moves from lightest to most intense: Special Reserve (lightest, most approachable) → Black Edition (richer, higher proof, more complex) → Original Single Barrel (93 proof, US market standard) → Straight From the Barrel (uncut, unfiltered cask strength). Black Edition sits firmly in the middle — more character than Special Reserve, more approachable than cask strength.

Why is this bottle 700ml?

The 700ml format is the international standard, particularly in Europe and Asia. Blanton's Black Edition is produced primarily for international distribution, which is why it's available in 700ml rather than the 750ml US standard.

How should I serve it?

Best enjoyed neat or on the rocks to appreciate the full character. Also excellent in premium cocktails — the richer, higher-proof profile makes it a superb base for a Manhattan or Old Fashioned.
