Why Blanton's Single-Barrel Bourbon Will Entice Collectors
BY MICHELLE WELSCH
Besides the bourbon, the real draw of Blanton's Single-Barrel is the tiny horse and rider atop the bottle's cork, each in a different state of motion from walking to a full gallop.
In addition to the different stages of the horse-and-rider stopper, each is etched with a single letter of the Blanton’s name, making them a highly collectible item.
Once completed, the full set spells out "Blanton's" on horses that move from walking on the B to a full gallop at the S to create a dynamic, extravagant display.
While collectors can strive to collect all eight bottle stoppers by searching for and purchasing different bottles, Blanton’s also sells the stoppers online.
