It was good but I don't get the hype. It's not much better than any other decent bourbons. I sorta like bakers 7 better.

It's a damn good bourbon in my book, but a lot stemmed from prior to its explosion of popularity and subsequently jacking up of its prices as the distillery can't keep up with the demand.

I like blantons with two ice cubes and a splash of water

this is the new drink I started making at home.. bourbon, simple syrup, topped with Pinot noir and a cinnamon stick. Absolutely to die for

On second thought it sounds like it might be too sweet for me. Pinot + syrup feels like it would be overkill.

How much did it cost?

...a lot of it is just marketing and allocation

Brilliant marketing move with the horses

Ya, we have it for 160$.

Which is overpriced.
And when people do the horse thing you are talking about real money.

I remember getting a bottle for under $75, maybe even in the $50 range though Im not confident enough to stand by that claim. Were talking mid 2000s.

Ya, each horse has a letter, and it spells out Blanton's.
If you get them all you send it in and they send you back some sort of display.

But ya, that's that $160x8= $126...before tax

I think it would take up too much space.
I don't see the point, considering the cost.

I live in a Horse Racing town, so people scoop them up as soon as we get them.
