Blantons is available in every Dan Murphys store in Western Australia off the shelf. There’s usually about 5 varieties on the shelf. Weird how it’s freely available in one of the most isolated capital cities in Australia but hard to find in the states.

A lot of those aren't even available in the US which makes me want to go to AUS even more, but I mostly want to go to catch a footy game. I'd be curious to know how long those bottles have been sitting there.

This was interesting to watch. I work at a retail store in Michigan where Blantons also seems to come in monthly, along with Buffalo Trace. I get customers daily asking if I have any Blanton’s in stock. I always feel bad telling them no, but every so often I get that lucky customer who comes in at the right time when the delivery happens to drop! I, myself, am not a drinker, but it is fun being in the liquor business and learning about new products and what makes things so highly sought-after!

Another Michigander here. I've never seen a bottle of Blanton's in the wild that wasn't marked up to high heaven in a small shop ($150 is the least I've seen). I did luck out and happen to score a Booker's at Meijer last year. Honestly, while I enjoy bourbon, seeing the lengths that people will go to for it makes me glad I'm primarily a Scotch drinker.

I got so lucky one time trying to get a bottle for my son-in-law. I stopped by a liquor store, asked if they had Blantons, and the clerk said he knew they were getting some the next Tuesday. He took my name and #, and called me when it came in. I go there all the time now. Also, love the car! I had a ‘66 Chrysler Newport with the 440 CI V8. Definitely a gas guzzler! Plus, you could land a helicopter on the hood and you could put a dozen people in the trunk and sneak them into the drive-in movie.

Hung out at the galleria location back in July. Got there at 6:45. Was 37th in line. Didn’t get in until 11:05. They had two people working… one at the register one at the door. Five people in at a time. Not a great experience - BUT - met some really nice people and picked up a couple bottles at a good price point. Nothing I can’t get in GA when I go but definitely cheaper.

In Ohio (also a control state where Blanton's cost $60) I have purchased 5 bottles of Blanton's this year alone; waited in line for 30 minutes to an hour each time. I decided a couple of years ago that I won't more than an hour for any bottle. Yes, that means I'm missing out occasionally but that's fine.

I'm new to bourbon and in NE Ohio. I called ahead at a Giant Eagle the night before. "We have 5 Blantons and our liquor stores open at 9am". GE has a contract to only sell allocated starting on Sat mornings. So I got there at 6:30a (the store opens at 7am) and I was the 5th person waiting in the foyer! We walked in the store and waited from 7a-9a for our Blantons. The first guy had his Blantons in the box and bag labeled "Blantons". It was my first experience waiting, it was fun. Kinda ridiculous, though.😅

I live in Alabama and it extremely easy to get Blanton’s, Eagle Rare and BT once a month on 3rd Saturday of the month. No idea what this guy is going on about but down here near Mobile there are usually 6-8 stores on that Saturday that will have it. The are about 8 large stores that get harder to find rarer picks that you need to be in line the night or day before. I have never ever had an issue getting Blanton’s for MSRP during these drops. Alabama BY FAR is one of the easiest states to get allocated bourbon.

Blanton's just dropped the other day in Ontario, 6000 bottles I think with another 400 or so store picks, lots of ER 10, Weller 107 and SR plus a bunch of EHT SB. One of each per person, about $69 Cad for the Blantons. These were online purchase only pick up at your local government store. Anybody that wanted one for the most got one. Myself, I only bought the Weller 107 but most were gone pretty quick with the exception of the Weller SR wich still lingers for $40 Cad.

CLIMBING ON MY SOAPBOX... Sir, I appreciate your post on what is my favorite bourbon. Prior to 2015, I was able to buy Blantons by the case. I fell in love with it on my first pour sometime in 2010. Before that, I bought my father a bottle for his birthday in 2001 not knowing at the time what I was buying. So Dad, how did you like that bourbon, "Son, I poured a glass, took a sip and poured it back in the bottle". Based on what my dad (GOD rest his soul) was used to drinking, I fully understand why he felt the way he did. Fast forward to 2009. Sitting in a cigar lounge, I asked about that bourbon and bought a glass. Ive never looked back. Now I love many different brands, Blantons is just my favorite. Now here comes John Wick.. shortly after that movie, Blantons started to disappear. I mean, I cant even buy it in small towns where I once was able to buy a case at a time. I even collected my horse race multiple times. Gave a couple away. Now that its "back" if you want to call it that. It is $230 plus a bottle. How does a this go from $65 ($75 if the greedy store owner wants to mark it up) to over $200 a bottle? As well as Still cant be found anywhere. I have one full bottle left with many empty keep sakes. I will let it sit there until.. thanks for the video.. Signed FURIOUS

Thanks for such an interesting video! I love seeing how different states allocate and drop whiskey. In Alabama, does the store manager have the ability to withhold bottles? Here in North Carolina it is state controlled, but all store managers don’t have to disclose when they are getting whiskey nor do they have to put it on the shelf. They can keep it for whoever they want and whenever they want.

Virginia is also a ABC state, but does the release differntly. You sign up at web site and they send out a email and facebook notice at random anytime that has a list of stores that have a drop. So, it can be anything, not known until you get there, and at anytime of the day and any day of the week.. totaly random. I like this way more than showing up at 2am to stand in line in hopes that they have anything you want. That is how I got my Blantons, just saw the email, looked for the nearest store to me and walked in, they had 3 Blantons. No line, no hassle.. but you must be flexible.. working from home or something like that.

EHT will never drop at these rural stores. There are 6-8 large ABC in major metros that get the harder to get stuff. Usually EHT is about 12-24 bottles at each location. IMO you need to be at the store for EHT by midnight-2AM. If the location has even more rare stuff that month then I have seen people wait in line 3-4 days. I got EHT 3 or 4 times last year and always got one when I was there by 2AM.

I've been trying to get Eagle rare just because I've never had it at the time. Only 6 bottles of ER and I was number 7 in line many times. With a defeated voice at the register "blanton's and buffalo"

This video was cool to come across, since here in central Indiana I can pick up Buffalo Trace and Blanton's at literally any store I walk into! Crazy how geography, and probably politics, screws people over.

Live in Cali and I must say my local grocery store has a phenomenal selection of bourbon and manged to snag 1 bottle of Blantons for 83 bucks. It just happened to be my luck day and not bad for the price compared to other locations. Cheers!

I befriended the local liquor store clerk and she lets me know through text when a bottle shows up. ABC Liquor has a vault they open as well if you’re fortunate to get on the list. I’ve purchased many bottles of Blantons and many other rare bottles of bourbon through the ABC vault.

@@edwardkarpuska2334 I don't knock people's choices. If they like it that's great. I don't get the hype of people paying secondary prices for it though. I generally have a bottle on my shelf and it's fun when people get excited over it and I can share with them...but then I introduce them to the good stuff that's easy to find and dollar for dollar better than Blanton's. But it's all subjective. So I can't call it overrated.

Interesting how it works there in bama. In Ohio we do the same but the stores will also do wholesale orders. So the store may get 6 but only end up with two or three to sale. I wish Ohio would fo what y’all do and release what stores will have what. If you ever need red Weller I got plenty and will ship you a bottle or two Mr Brewzle.

Different around here because of one fine establishment. You just go buy it, no line. They showed me cases of it in the back. You would shit your pants if you saw what was in that place. The girls ask if there is anything special you are looking for and they usually have it. Alot of Trace products and a bunch of other chases. Its a great store. They have bottles of Eagle Rare, Pappy, Bookers, Weller and such on tap for tasting. Store picks from great brands. They had a Dobel Diamante barrel pick that was divine. Nicely stocked humidor with Rocky Patel, Oscar Valladeres, Ashton, Oliva among many others and a great private lounge too. Most customers have no idea. Hang out there often.

Blantons is available at approx. 140$ in my local store for the gold edition 51,5%…! I would like to try it, but I can get 4 of my favorite bottles at the same price (Eagle Rare, JD SB, Rare Breed, Angles Envy), so I am a bit nervous to buy it…
