Thanks! I have cut my consumption way back due to a couple surgeries but the pain meds are about done. It would be nice to get one of these.

It depends on if you are actually going to drink them. Everyone’s palate is different, but the only decent Pappy (to me) is the 15.
Otherwise BTAC all day long and the Blanton’s STFB - though being a single barrel it’s a crap shoot The last group at 125-proof (or so) is pretty good. If you’re going to trade/sell them grab all the Van Winkles you can. That being said I have an extra GTS that I would trade for an Eagle Rare 17….. |

it really depends on what your intentions are. if you want to make money and flip them or actually keep them and drink them.
IMO, just because they are more rare and more expensive doesn't mean they taste better (of course that is subjective). |

I would be perfectly happy with either Blantons or the Eagle rare. We will see what the draw brings. Last year I got nothing. |

Lol, I bet you would Not sure why you think that’s funny…? George T. Stagg is typically the King of the BTAC lineup, older and has WAY more positive reviews this year than the Eagle Rare 17. I just was lucky enough to get (2) this year. |

Had dinner at a better restaurant locally last night. A shot of Blantons straight from the barrel was $29. I passed but hoping to try one soon.

When better times come around again (I believe they will) I want to start trying to collect the letters. The one taste of Blanton's I've had, was amazing. It was NOT straight from the barrel. Can't even imagine that. |

Tasted like a Hot Tamale candy. Ended up dumping 1/2 of it out. And I like Blanton’s. |

Interesting. I’ve drank a bunch of Blantons but always the off the shelf stuff. I do want to try some variants. I should have been keeping the tops…
