The Distillery...

"WELCOME TO WAREHOUSE H WHERE BLANTON'S SINGLE BARREL BOURBON HAS BEEN MADE SINCE 1921"
Warehouse H was built directly after prohibition as a way to start immediately aging bourbon since there was such a large demand for alcohol once it was legalized. It is the only tin clad warehouse on the distillery grounds aging bourbon. After prohibition, the distillery needed a warehouse erected as quickly as possible to meet the demand they would face, so they erected the 4 story tin clad warehouse quickly since it would take more time to erect a brick and mortar building.

Because of its proximity to the river and its ability to heat and age the bourbon in the long hot summers, Colonel Blanton felt warehouse H aged bourbon better than any warehouse on the distillery grounds. The warehouse sits further away from the river than any other aging warehouse at the distillery allowing it to maximize the heat of the summers before interacting with the cool dew which resonates from the river. Warehouse H also uses steam heat to continuously age bourbon during the cold winter months which allows the bourbon optimal aging.

Colonel Blanton would ask his employees to pull a couple barrels at time from Warehouse H so he could individually hand pick the best barrels to be bottled one at a time. Those bottles would then be distributed to ambassadors, dignitaries, VIP's, and close friends and relatives. Today, the best bourbon still comes from Warehouse H and is home to many of the distillery's finest barrels of bourbon.
