I have a liquor store that gets it regularly, but they sell it in packs so you have to buy another bottle or two if something else. I don’t mind because they don’t raise the prices and I get to try new stuff.
Thank you friend.
I'm with you on Woodford Double Oak as a similar profile to Blantons. And much easier to find. Part of me would love to come by the set of stoppers for Blanton's "organically", but doubt I ever will. It's gotten too hard to find, and definitely out of my price range.Blanton's is overpriced and overhyped in my opinion. I enjoy it if I can find it at retail but I much prefer Henry McKenna which is far more accessible and cheaper. Even Woodford double oak IMO is a similar enough sipper to blantons. I have two bottles but it's not my go to. Everything is subjective of course. As far as single barrels go like blanton's there is no such thing as a great SiB bourbon, only great bottles.
Mercifully there is EW BIB for under $20 for 1.75
BTW...I like your moniker. I am a Texas lawyer myself.That's my favorite bourbon for mixing, and it ain't a bad sipper at all.
Bourbon is stupid now. People way over paying for stuff. It'll calm down after the fashionistas get out.

I have had my share of high end bourbons, but the pricing has gotten crazier than I care to support.
I never had Blanton’s, but I’m looking forward to finding a bottle someday at a reasonable price. I have had quite a few bourbons in the $30-$65 range. There are so many interesting flavors to taste, I see no need to chase super expensive bottles, especially when I enjoy several bourbons in the $20-$30 range for daily drinkers. Some of the prices are just silly for popular bottles.
Great price! I was able to get a few bottles around $75 from a local place about 6 months ago but they rarely get it anymore. A few stores closer to me are at $100 or above that.Funny thing happened today. I got an email from my liquor store. They're holding a bottle of Blanton's for me. $67. That's a good deal more than it was only a few years ago and more than double what it was 10 years ago or so, but it ain't so bad for today.
It'll be nice to have one on the shelf again.
