I remember buying it for $60 and thinking that was too damn much. What does it sell for now?
And yes the bourbon bros are constantly hunting the great Blantons unicorn. They are not hunting it because it is the best bourbon. They hunt because they can't find it. And like PJ posters, tickets, and license plates they use them as trade bait. And like PJ posters these bottles mostly sit unopened on shelves collecting dust.
Of course demand goes up at holiday time as every male with any bourbon collection asks for Blantons as a gift
Why would anyone trade for this? It's not rare... Self made rarity by Blantons if anything.
Some states get so few they do a state run lottery.
Like I said earlier most of the bottles in circulation are sitting on dudes shelves unopened collecting dust.
I made a post several weeks ago about finding Weller Special Reserve on a shelf in Greenville, OH for like $25/bottle I think. That is the only time I have ever seen anything rare on a shelf since that CT.
I used to be able to get all sorts of things at a good price just for being a regular. Those places don’t do that anymore.0 -

We have regular customers that we take care of. Usually it's for stuff that they haven't even asked for and for customers that are NOT bottle hunters. They actually appreciate what they are drinking.0 -

I picked up a couple bottles of Blantons and more importantly a couple Stagg Jr.
