Blanton's Gold will be hitting the US within the next 30 days. Another unicorn bottle that will be extremely tough to find at retail. Won't stop me from trying though.

Isn't Blantons Gold the overseas bottle? Nothing really different?
Retail is $120, but shops could mark it up from there. It is 103 proof, so 10 points higher than the standard single barrel. But you're right in that it has only sold overseas up until now. First U.S. release.

I wonder if with all that is going on that it's just easier to sell locally now rather than ship out of the US?
^ I think timing is purely coincidental because they announced the release in Feb. US customers have been bitching for a while and Buffalo Trace finally listened. It will continue annually in limited releases.

LOL...same
When I was frequenting the FBbourbon groups before they were shut down there were people peddling them for 120 a bottle. Most people said it wasn't worth the extra coin and just settle for the reg. I'd like to try it though.

Maybe I can ship you a taste from Canada. I can label it maple syrup. Lol

I kept reading about an alternate version of Aberlour 12 that was non chill filtered. Our selection here in Canada (at least in BC) is fairly limited. Our rules our so strict no one will try to ship whisky into Canada. The good news is I have a friend who lives in Texas. Turns out Texas has some protectionist laws to prevent liquor from be mailed in State. Found a website in Norway that would ship it to Texas. Figured, why not try. I order it a few weeks before I get there for a visit. They labeled it as Saline (Sodium Chloride). Lol!!!
I'm also really missing Glenronach 12 here. I really like the Speyside stuff that's aged in Sherry casks. You can't buy the real Macallan 12 here, Glenronach is gone. I love Dalmore but it's pretty expensive. Balvenie is pretty expensive here too.
All of a sudden Eagle Rare is tough to find now? WTF?
This has been a very dry year for bottles from Sazerac (Buffalo Trace) brands. What I picked up was a private barrel. Did a side by side with "regular" Eagle Rare. It was tasty. Sold it out with no limits in under 2 hours.

it was as two years ago. Hoping to score another.
