re: Need suggestions for a great bottle of bourbon

Is that due to the grain shortage from few years back?

I think Buffalo Trace has done a great job marketing it with small things like appearing in the John Wick movies. Plus it's snowballed with people hoarding it instead of actually drinking. I am in a Facebook group where there are more people boasting how they bought up the case of Blanton's (or some other allocated bourbon) to go with the 6 they already have. The people who are buying only a bottle or 2 at a time to actually drink. While I am sitting on a bottle of regular Blanton's and a Blanton's Gold I am almost afraid of opening them as I have no idea when/if I'd be able to restock. Though I am very close to opening one for this weekend.
