Blanton’s Cream Label ‘Takara Red’ Single Barrel Bourbon – Dumped in 1992
Early Export-Era Rarity. A True Unicorn Bourbon.
Own a piece of bourbon history with this exceptionally rare Blanton’s Cream Label “Takara Red” Single Barrel Bourbon, dumped in 1992 — one of the earliest international releases of Blanton’s, created exclusively for the Japanese market in partnership with Takara Shuzo.
Bottled during a time when single barrel bourbon was still a niche category, this vintage expression hails from the golden age of Blanton’s, long before its rise to cult status. The Cream Label with red Japanese script signifies its unique export status, and the 1992 dump date places it among the earliest Japanese editions — making it an elite-level collectible for serious bourbon enthusiasts.
Crafted at the historic George T. Stagg Distillery (now Buffalo Trace), and aged in the iconic Warehouse H, this bourbon was drawn from a single, hand-picked barrel and bottled with precision. While exact tasting notes will vary slightly due to barrel variation, expect a refined and vintage profile featuring rich layers of leather, dark dried fruit, antique oak, honeyed spice, and vanilla, rounded out by an elegantly long and mellow finish—characteristic of well-aged bourbon from this era.
