Found these in the back room of a local liquor store. The Blanton's were on special 3 for $300.

Guessing museum prices if they had that many things in the shelf

Under secondary for the Blanton's. Retail is getting too much anyways.

I would have done the SFTB, Gold and Single Barrel for $300

What is the retail for Blanton's? I believe the guy told me they were going $160 but the owner had just gotten that batch in & wanted to try a special deal on them.

Regular Blanton's should be around $65 to $70

It's up to 80+ after tax. BT has increased MSRP.

Yep, Spec's had it yesterday, and I passed. I didn't think I'd do that at MSRP.

Bought Blantons at the BT distillery about 2 months ago for $63.

Use to be $54 at Fort Hood. It was just the bottle and netting. No box or bag.

Those materials must really drive up the cost

Sort of. The problem is cost. Too small a barrel and the angels will suck it dry fast. So you need a 10+ gallon, probably 15+ gallons by the look of the barrel in the pic.

10g is 37.8L/1.75L * $60 = $1,300. + cost of barrel, ~$320. All before tax. So roughly $1,750 as a side project.

If, you know, were to do the math. Also roughly the same if you went Benchmark Full Proof.

I grabbed the KC12 but passed on Bookers. Was that good decision?

I probably would've done the same.

Both are great and i am a Booker's fan but given those two options at the current prices, im picking the KC 12. you cant really go wrong with either.

I conceived a baby after drinking our Spanish Oak pick.

And I was told her NEXPLANON is over 99% effective…..

I picked this up after seeing it on Brewzle. It makes a great old fashioned. Very unique flavor. I like it about as much as Buffalo Trace, but it is twice the price.

So what you're saying is I should try to conceive soon?

My buddy just asked to come help him do a 4 Roses Single Barrel Pick! What recipe should I go after?

Bourbon does impede the pull out method. it's Science!

First off, extremely jealous, that's the bucket list pick for me.

They don't reveal the recipes until you choose. But if that has changed, either of the O recipes, with a lean toward OBSO.

Well damn.

Just happy to have the opportunity. I'll try and get a couple for the bourbon board. One to give someone at retail and one for the next charity raffle.

I picked up a bottle of Jeptha Creed RWB at Oak Liquor Cabinet yesterday. If you're looking for something a little funky and different, this is for you. It's got this earthiness and bright red fruit that comes through, and the caramel and vanilla takes a back seat. It's like this is a bourbon for aged rum drinkers. This isn't for everyone, and at $79, most people aren't going to take a leap of faith on something different. But the owner of the store told me I'd like this, and he wasn't wrong.

Love stories like that. I've spent more money on random bottles in the last few years than i care to admit. Some have paid off, some are straight drain pours but its cool to see a recommendation pay off.

Doing a google search on it, it certainly is a unique mash bill. Im guessing a lot of the flavors you are getting is due to the malted rye and barley. Have you had the Jack Triple Mash and if so how do they compare?

I have not. It was just sitting in a box on the floor. I didn't see any of the other SKUs on the shelf.
