    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.

    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.

    How was it?  I have several bourbon buddies hunting for that one.  Hasn't hit Chicagoland yet to my knowledge.

    Good to hear. It’s one I’d like to try if I get the opportunity.

    Imagine my surprise when I went to one of our distributors to pick up a case of wine and this/these were waiting for me!
