Collector Details

Takara Black was launched in Japan in 1994 as a lower-proof alternative within the expanding Japanese Blanton’s range. It became an established companion to Original Single Barrel and Takara Red, combining a gentler bottling strength with the longer maturation associated with Japan-exclusive expressions.

The Japanese 50 ml miniature has been discontinued. The expression is aged approximately eight years.

A new book from the creator of WarehouseH.com

The story of Blanton’s Bourbon has never been fully told…until now.

“Warehouse H unveils the history and secrets of Blanton’s—the most polarizing bourbon brand—in a remarkable story of perseverance, the power of marketing, and the allure of novelty, along with an entertaining take on what many consider to be irrational exuberance. Guglielmi brings a fresh perspective from a position of true admiration, making the case for why Blanton’s is America’s most influential whiskey.”
