Majority of people who shit on Blanton’s are people who can’t get their hands on it, or don’t want to put in a little effort into getting it. Blanton’s is pretty damn good, and to say it’s not worth the ~$60 is a joke. Yeah Eagle Rare is good… but it’s not as good as Blanton’s.
People act like it’s impossible to get. Just because you don’t find it on the shelf every time u walk into a liquor store doesn’t mean it’s impossible to find. Iv walked into a liquor store and bought it after 5:00pm 2 times in the last month.
Now I’m not saying it’s worth paying a reseller $100+… fuck those guys. All I’m saying is, it’s def not bad, and all the people saying it’s trash are salty because they can’t get any.
Just left the store had a case of each 4:30 p.m. just getting unpacked
Blanton’s is one of the country’s most highly allocated and sought-after whiskies. I’d highly recommend not mixing it with something as it would have a detrimental effect on such a magnificent spirit. For something as revered as Blanton’s, I’d recommend sipping neat, or perhaps with a drop of water from a KY spring, to open up the dram. A proper glass, such as a glencairn, stolzle, or Tuath will help with nosing this sweet elixir of the bourbon Gods. If you’re lucky, you may find a bottle that was dumped from the barrel on a date that has some sort of significance to you (labeled as the “dump date” and not to be confused with “taking a dump”).
If you’re one of the few lucky enough to have Blanton’s, please give the bottle the proper respect that it deserves. Many a man would give one, or both, of his testicles to be so lucky.
Perhaps you are new to the world of fine bourbon. Would people line up for 3-5 hours for a chance at a bottle of Blanton’s if it were merely adequate? I think not and your post seems misguided.
I’ve also found that I can describe 3-7 more components of the flavor profile of Blanton’s if I don an ascot while tasting. YMMV, of course.
The fun doesn’t end on the tongue! Each topper has an special significance, letters to collect, throw on a barrel stave, or just get creative!
Lastly, properly expand your palate, we may have to arrange a flight with some other fantastic pours. An epic wheater like Weller Special Reserve (highly allocated), Hudson Baby Bourbon (a very nice micro-distillery) and perhaps Willett Pot Still (the bottle alone is proof of the juice inside - no distillery would be so obtuse as to place sub-par bourbon in such a magnificent vessel). I think then we can discuss how Blanton’s truly excels amongst such whiskey powerhouses.
Tammy Jo Blanton, a 46-year-old woman, was found deceased on September 11, 2014. At the time, she was living in Clark County, Indiana. After she’d failed to show up to work that morning, her co-workers called police and asked them to do a welfare check.
Tammy was killed by her ex-boyfriend, Joseph Oberhansley. After killing Tammy, Joseph cut out her heart with a jigsaw and ate it.
In 1998, Joseph shot and killed Sabrina Elder, his girlfriend. Sabrina had just recently given birth to a baby boy, but Joseph insisted that the baby wasn’t his, he accused her of cheating on him. Sabrina said that the baby was definitely his, she hadn’t cheated. But Joseph would not listen to reason, he pulled out a gun and threatened Sabrina.
Joseph’s mother (Brenda Self) happened to be there when this was happening; she tried to protect Sabrina, she actually dove in front of Sabrina to try and protect her. But Joseph was undeterred, he shot Brenda and then chased after Sabrina. After shooting Sabrina, Joseph turned the gun on himself and pulled the trigger. However, Joseph and Brenda both survived; Sabrina did not survive.
For shooting Sabrina and shooting his mother, Joseph was charged with murder and attempted murder. However, he must have had a damn good lawyer, because somehow the judge was convinced to accept a plea deal for manslaughter. His defense attorney (Ron Yengich) argued that Joseph had been high on meth at the time of the shooting. He also said that Joseph had started doing meth to cope with the pain of losing his father and brother, both of whom died the previous year.
Sabrina’s father was unhappy about Joseph being allowed to plead guilty to manslaughter. He said that in his opinion, it had been premeditated murder, not manslaughter.
For manslaughter, Joseph received an indeterminate sentence of 1 to 15 years. He was eligible for parole after serving 1 year, although the Utah parole board forced him to serve out almost the entire 15 years b

So did something stupid. I went to an auction and bid on a bunch of mini blanton's thinking I would have better chances to win at least one.....Now I am the new father of 6. I really do not need 6 mini blanton's lol. Also, my wife wants to kill me now. Really looking to trade for these. Let me know if you are interested. (Atleast shipping will be cheap).
Hey everyone,
So first things first, I am very politely asking for all of the Blanton’s Haters out there to please keep your comments to yourself, especially if you’ve never had Blanton’s Gold.
I have a buddy in Spain at the moment who can get a bottle of Gold for about $160.00- once it goes through customs and gets taxed we’re looking at 220.00-250.00.
For those that have had this before what are your thoughts? I know that for this price I can get myself into a bottle of something like Old Carter, but this may possibly be one of the, if not the only opportunity I have to get a bottle of B-Gold.
Really appreciate anyone’s honest experiences with it.
Cheers!
