What is the boards thoughts on Blantons?

I had never really gotten into it until recently and I love it.

Easily my favorite Bourbon at its price range.

had one last night at Domenica... I prefer Elmer or Rockhill farms. At $50 I think there is better stuff out there.

they are all the same mashbill. Elmer a little younger and cheaper, Rockhill a little older but around the same price.

true... BT is ramping production back up after the fall BTAC and Pappy releases so the others should start showing up again soon. Alot of places just started getting Blantons again

If not, they're gouging and should be avoided like the plague.

I didn't know how they were going to handle the Elmer T. Lee line after he passed away. I've only seen it in a few places the past couple months and the price was higher than it was say 6 months ago.

I'm a big fan so this is great news if it happens.

I think it's more likely going to be in the $30-$33 range from now on. Unfortunately, I think the days of the $25-$28 ETL are over. I haven't seen a sub $30 ETL in over a year.

Yeah, it's a tribute to Elmer T Lee since he was 93 when he died.
