About this listAge International
Age International is the company that owns the Blanton's and Elmer T. Lee brands, but it does not own a distillery. In 1992 its founders, Ferdie Falk and Robert Baranaskas, sold their shares to the Japanese company Takara, which immediately sold the distillery to Sazerac but kept the corporate entity and the brand trademarks. Buffalo Trace Distillery in Frankfort, Kentucky still produces all of the whiskey for Blanton's and the other Age International brands, and Blanton's is aged in the distillery's metal-clad Warehouse H. Blanton's was launched in 1984 as a single barrel bourbon, so each bottling comes from one barrel, and Blanton's Original Single Barrel at 93 proof was the only expression sold in the United States until 2020. Blanton's Gold at 103 proof and Blanton's Straight From The Barrel at cask proof were sold in select markets outside the US before that. Elmer T. Lee Single Barrel is named for the distillery's former master distiller.
