Another special product has been created to commemorate Alabama’s bicentennial.
This time it is a commemorative release of Blanton’s Single Barrel Bourbon.
The limited-release product is the result of a partnership between Buffalo Trace Distillery and the Alabama ABC, according to a release from the agency.
Alabama ABC Board Administrator Mac Gipson spoke of the appropriateness of this unique offering.
“Just like Buffalo Trace Distillery, Alabamians take great pride in their rich history and heritage,” said Gipson. “The 200th anniversary of our state’s founding is another wonderful opportunity for Buffalo Trace and the Alabama ABC Board to collaborate on this one-of-a-kind commemorative release. Alabamians who enjoy Blanton’s or any of the other Buffalo Trace offerings will want to add this special 200th Anniversary release to their collection.”
Two single barrels of Blanton’s were hand selected for this limited release. The commemorative bicentennial bottles will be available in 750ml and will be sold in ten participating Alabama ABC stores beginning Thursday, March 14.
Buffalo Trace Distillery is an American family-owned company based in Frankfort, Franklin County, Kentucky. Introduced in 1984 as the world’s first single barrel bourbon, Blanton’s is aged in Warehouse H at Buffalo Trace Distillery.
Earlier this year, the United States Postal Service introduced its own commemorative product for Alabama’s 200th anniversary. It has created a Forever Stamp which includes artwork of the state’s scenery.
