Sterling Silver Edition

The Story

Ferdie Falk commissioned the Sterling Silver Edition in 1991, shortly before the distillery changed ownership. Kirk-Stieff undertook the difficult task of casting the recognizable Blanton’s bottle in silver, despite its connection to rival spirits company Brown-Forman. Designed as a presentation piece, the edition became one of the defining objects in the history of Blanton’s collecting.
