Pretty sure the beer I recently had was aged in the 1792 barrels. Cheers!

Wife got me a "happy" today.  I must say, it is pretty dog gone good.  Not all special editions hit the mark, this one definitely does.

Holy smokes that looks outstanding.    Nice wife, no way that bottle was cheap.

I've learned not to check prices when she buys Bourbon.  I just enjoy it, I am a cheap SOB, she is not.

Not only does it taste really good, coconut, oak, and some vanilla which I really enjoy.  It is not sweet even which surprised me.  The bottle is pretty cool too, it is ceramic and the painting is not a plastic wrapper, it is permanent.

Smart man.   I hope you enjoy it, I’ll live vicariously through you for a bit if that’s ok?

Been one of those weeks—and it’s only Wednesday.

There are two distinct letter “N’s”.

I've talked to a couple guys this week that have both paid $100 for a bottle of Blanton's, I hope yours wasn't that pricey.   

Meanwhile I spoke with my local store and they say they price theirs at $55 (when they get it).

I got it at a local ‘big box’ alcohol store and paid their list price, which was $69.  I got a bottle there 5-6 years ago and it was $59 then, so I didn’t think that was crazy.

If I can get them for regular prices, I’ll usually pick them up and pay the difference for scarcity, but I’ve never gone into secondary bourbon markets or paid crazy $$$ for a bottle, I just can’t discern that much difference from the $40-60 bottles that I regularly have for drinking (plus a bottle of Bulleit for Old Fashioneds or Boulevardiers) and can find on the shelf all the time.

Unfortunately, nobody in my area has allocations.  I wish I could get it for $65/bottle.  I would buy everyone they had.  Some of us do not have the option to buy first hand, sadly.

Score, I'd pay $69 for it.   On the occasions when I have found it at Total Wine it has been $65, which I assumed was the new MSRP.    When my buddies told me they paid $100 I laughed.   Blantons is good, darn good, but for me, not for $100.
