Blanton is a brand of the Sazerac Company, which has been marketed as a single cask bottling since 1984, it is produced at Buffalo Trace. Blanton's is striking because of its cap, which is crowned by a small figure of a racehorse. The whiskey is named after Colonel Albert B. Blanton, a former manager of the Buffalo Trace Distillery.
Whiskey production in the United States is dominated by about a dozen large distilleries, so that almost all whiskey sold comes from a single distillery, and blended whiskey is almost non-existent as a mixture of the whiskey of several distilleries.
The terms single barrel for whiskey from a single cask and small batch for whiskey from a relatively small number of casks have become established as distinguishing features.
