So let me clue you in..Blantons has such a cache in the Bourbon world that is allocated.(1 bottle limit).meaning it is hard to get.. Many retailers will mark up a $58 bottle to around $180. When it does rarely hit the shelves at Total Wine or othsr retailers it is gone within a couple of hours..news travels fast through the grapevine.
Btw..i dont think Blantons is all that special..

But it's marketing is special...reminds me of Southwest Cues...order one made to your specs and it's a 15 years long wait. However, readily available to those willing to pay double the price. I've shot a couple of racks with a Southwest. Prefer the hit and feedback of my Keith Josey.
Sadly for many and good for Keith, his cues have now caught on. So the price is higher and the wait for one longer than when I bought in back in 2007.
