At the age of sixteen, he started work in the Distillery as an office boy and fast became a leading pioneer in the development of bourbon. From the time he was made company president in 1921 until his retirement in 1952, his Distillery expanded from 44 to 144 buildings to become the largest Distillery of its day. During that period Colonel Blanton created his very special and limited supply of bourbon - his private reserve - handpicked and stored in what now is known as the famous Warehouse H. Although Colonel Blanton died in the spring of 1959, his legacy lives. Introduced in 1984, Blanton’s namesake bourbon was the first ever Single Barrel Bourbon sold commercially. The Single Barrel Bourbon is the first of its kind.\u0026lt;\/p\u0026gt;\\r\\n\"}}' id=\"text-0b681b1756\" class=\"cmp-text\" style=\"box-sizing: inherit; margin-bottom: 3.75rem;\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cspan data-ccp-props='{\"201341983\":0,\"335559739\":160,\"335559740\":259}' class=\"EOP SCXW166694593\"\u003eTHE DISTILLERY\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"title section aem-GridColumn aem-GridColumn--default--12\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"cmp-title\"\u003eOUR VISION\u003cbr\u003eRESPECT TRADITION. EMBRACE PROGRESS.\u003cbr\u003eThere’s a lot to learn from the past. But we believe the best era for Whiskey is in front of us. We are constantly pushing ourselves to try new things and to unlock the potential of Rye Whiskey. We protect what makes Rye Whiskey great, toss out the rest, and then innovate to make it better.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOUR START\u003cbr\u003eTHE CHANCE DISCOVERY\u003cbr\u003eWhistlePig began when we purchased our farm in 2007. After a few years of deep consideration and personal reflection we committed ourselves to crafting the world’s finest and most interesting Rye Whiskeys. With help from Master Distiller Dave Pickerell, we discovered and purchased an incredible stock of 10 year old blending Whiskey in Canada that was being profoundly misused. That initial stock, for which we are forever grateful, is what kicked off our grand adventure.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOUR PROCESS\u003cbr\u003eALWAYS IMPROVE\u003cbr\u003eWith every step of the Whiskey making process we ask ourselves 3 questions:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“How was this done in the past?”\u003cbr\u003e“Have we learned anything since then that can make this better?”\u003cbr\u003e“Is there another way to do this that’s worth exploring?”\u003cbr\u003eMore often than not the answer is there’s always something worth exploring. We know the path forward isn’t always a straight line. So we push ourselves to innovate and we’re reassured by our mistakes. They’re what keep us great.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"sqs-block html-block sqs-block-html\" data-block-type=\"2\" id=\"block-yui_3_17_2_1_1554964534442_70245\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cspan data-ccp-props='{\"201341983\":0,\"335559739\":160,\"335559740\":259}' class=\"EOP SCXW166694593\"\u003eTASTING NOTES\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"whiskey-info-profile-item\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"whiskey-info-profile-item-label\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"taking_notes__card\" data-w-id=\"76a41ff8-826a-3062-55a1-1997d45cfad5\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"taking_notes__heading\" data-w-id=\"76a41ff8-826a-3062-55a1-1997d45cfad6\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNose\u003cbr\u003eRich lush vanilla aromas give way to delicate tropical notes including underripe bananas, freshly picked lemon and molasses.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePalate\u003cbr\u003eAbundant fresh ground cinnamon with citrus zest, butterscotch, and light notes of toffee.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFinish\u003cbr\u003eTanned leather, light brown sugar, nutmeg and allspice with a long-lasting black pepper rye spice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"whiskey-info-profile-item\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"whiskey-info-profile-item-text\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"awards__items\"\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"awards__item\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"whiskey-recipe-ingredients\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSHIPPING \u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e*SHIPPING NOTICE- If possible, please use a business address for shipping.
