Got my father-in-law some for Christmas and he shared some, gotta agree. Much better than it should be for the price.

If you want a shortcut, you can buy them at the distillery, haha. Cool place, though we didn't get to do the longer tour they offer, just the basic one.
They're hard to find everywhere haha. I was checking out at hyvee one night and noticed behind the register a bottle of Buffalo Trace for $28. I quickly asked to buy it since I've never actually seen it in a store before and the lady said they had just gotten a shipment of 25 two days prior. The bottle I snagged was the last one of the shipment and I haven't seen anymore since. They go quick and you gotta know when the shipments are coming in lolBuffalo Trace is hard to find here in Lincoln. As is Blantons. And Eagle Rare. All the good stuff!
This. I got a guy who calls me whenever they get some. Shipment never lasts more than a day.
I hate these Bourbon Raffles to get you in the store and buy a couple bottles of Buffalo Trace..
I can see doing raffle for Blanton‘s or Eagle Rare but don’t hold back on people wanting to buy Buffalo Trace.

Disagree. I would love to be able to buy a bottle of Buffalo Trace. I work whenever they put the stuff out and it's gone before I could ever get me. I've since given up.I hate these Bourbon Raffles to get you in the store and buy a couple bottles of Buffalo Trace..

Speaking of Pappy - being the QB of a national champion has a few perks ... https://whiskeyraiders.com/bourbon/georgia-stetson-bennett-drinks-pappy-van-winkle/
Redbreast is kind of tasty. I haven't had it for a while. If I remember correctly it had a hint of sweetness to it. Chicken Cock is a fun one to serve to snooty guests and it's not bad.Conversely, these are my favorites.
A friend of (same guy who got me the Blanton) served us some Pappy. Very nice. That was a difficult night followed by a very difficult morning.
I called every store in Lincoln for Blantons. Not one damn bottle. Time to order online. ****'s like the Holy grail.
https://www.frootbat.com/brands/19299/Blanton's/Lincoln,-NE,-USA Special reserve and single barrel ordered. Saved 50 bucks with the discount code. You can buy all 8 different bottles for 1,800 bucks. Lol @TampaBaySkers

If I was rich I'd buy the 20 year old one I linked earlier for 19K. That's crazy.
Blanton’s is a good bourbon, so don’t get me wrong, but it’s not worth the effort or price they charge. There are much better options at the same or lower price point. It’s a very smooth, but boring pour. Seek out Michters American Whiskey. Not a true bourbon, but an excellent smooth whiskey. It’s better, cheaper and easier to get.
I was trying to think if I ever spent more than $100 on any bottle. Nope.
I don't like to go above $4 a shot. This is north of $10. I know what's good. But I'll never know how good Blanton's is unless I'm at your place!
Read earlier posts in this thread. Guys paying 13k for whistle pig and Pappy Van Winkle. I need to party with @rrthusker and @John_J_Rambo. Big pimping.I was trying to think if I ever spent more than $100 on any bottle. Nope.

I like Blantons and have been served Pappy at a dinner party but there is nothing wrong with Woodford Reserve and it's very affordable and easy to find.

Finally cracked my Blanton's last night. Well worth the time and money. Best yet. Looking forward to the special reserve after the single barrel is gone.
Looks like I may have to start a bootlegging service to you guys in this thread. BT is like water out here....
I found one bottle of Buffalo Trace in Lincoln. Blanton's was the Holy Grail. Great stuff.
That's crazy. I can go to any liquor store here and find at least 5 to 10 bottles of it.
That website I ordered from was real fast. Comes very well packed. They won't break. I'll probably just order from them from now on. Blantons has ruined me for all other Bourbons. Lol
Liquor stores around here have every bourbon you can imagine. There are tons of small local distilleries that offer selections too. Never thought about other parts of the country not getting the selection we do until this thread.
Blanton's at retail is typically about $60-65. I really like it and have even bought the last two letters I need for the series at $110 each on secondary. That being said, there is a ton of stuff out there I like just as much if not more. Old Forester 1910 and 1920- both great at around $50. Woodford double oak at $45, Wild Turkey Rare Breed (rye and bourbon) both about $55. Woodinville Port cask finished $45, Knob Creek 12 year at $70 ish. All very available and very tasty.
