Blantons is single barrel which means your odds of getting the same one are slim. Should taste a little different everytime.

Not the biggest Blantons fan, either.

Im now searching for the cheap good tasting bourbon. The allocation game is too much trouble for the limited rewards.

In the $20-$40 range, there are good options.. I usually drink my bourbon over ice.

Four Roses Yellow Label
Four Roses Small Batch-- One of the smoothest bourbons I've ever had. Think I paid under $40 for the bottle I have.
Elijah Craig-- About $35 or cheaper pending on where you live
Knob Creek Small Batch- Under $40 pending on your location
Wild Turkey Longbranch
**Buffalo Trace-- If you can find it for reasonable. I used to buy it for $25/bottle. It's good but not $50/bottle good.
Forgot to add Maker's 46

These are ones I have in my cabinet at home or have had in the past. Most of these you can find easily in any liquor store.

They had limits on some of them, but I was able to get two bottles of Weller. I also picked more Mitcher's Sour Mash, Buffalo Trace, Sazerac Rye and Bulleit.

How much was Buffalo Trace? Here when I find it, they're charging like $50-$60.

The owner does a lot of barrel picks and gets all kinds of obscure and rare stuff. People travel from all over to pick up bottles from Brij.
