Bottled exclusively for the M\u0026amp;P Wine \u0026amp; Spirits Festival in Poland, 2017. Aged in Warehouse H at Buffalo Trace — the only warehouse authorized for the Blanton's name. A rare international exclusive unavailable through U.S. retail.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eBlanton's market-exclusive releases are produced in very limited quantities for specific international retailers and events — never available through standard U.S. distribution. The M\u0026amp;P Wine \u0026amp; Spirits Festival editions are among the most sought-after Blanton's market exclusives, bottled specifically for Poland's leading spirits event and available in America only through specialty importers or secondary channels.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eLike all Blanton's Single Barrel expressions, this release was aged in Warehouse H at Buffalo Trace — the only metal-clad warehouse at the distillery, commissioned by Colonel Albert B. Blanton. The metal construction transfers heat differently than brick warehouses, producing a distinctive aging environment that Blanton identified as the best for producing his particular style of bourbon. The high-rye Buffalo Trace mash bill delivers the characteristic Blanton's profile of nutmeg, spice, vanilla, and caramel.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003ch3\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cul\u003e   \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eAppearance:\u003c\/strong\u003e Rich amber with warm copper tones from Warehouse H aging.\u003c\/li\u003e   \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eNose:\u003c\/strong\u003e Nutmeg, spices, dry vanilla, honey, and caramel.\u003c\/li\u003e   \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003ePalate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Spicy and sweet — the high-rye mash bill's characteristic profile with the citrus and oak notes that define Blanton's.\u003c\/li\u003e   \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Medium with corn and nutmeg returning for a satisfying close.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e  \u003ch3\u003eSpecs\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cul\u003e   \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eDistillery:\u003c\/strong\u003e Buffalo Trace, Frankfort, Kentucky\u003c\/li\u003e   \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eStyle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey, Single Barrel\u003c\/li\u003e   \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eWarehouse:\u003c\/strong\u003e Warehouse H (metal-clad, Blanton's exclusive)\u003c\/li\u003e   \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eBottled for:\u003c\/strong\u003e M\u0026amp;P Wine \u0026amp; Spirits Festival, Poland\u003c\/li\u003e   \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eRelease:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2017\u003c\/li\u003e   \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 700ml\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e  \u003cp\u003eBrowse the full \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/woodencork.com\/collections\/bourbon\"\u003ebourbon selection at Wooden Cork\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cul\u003e   \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eHow does the 2017 M\u0026amp;P edition compare to the 2019?\u003c\/strong\u003e Both are Poland festival exclusives bottled for M\u0026amp;P Wine \u0026amp; Spirits.
