Buffalo Trace is readily available around here for retail or close to it. Sometimes it does dry up though and then the prices go up considerably. Blanton’s is allocated so I would normally only see it at drops or raffles. Otherwise it would be WAY above retail.

Nice. Make sure you drink them with good friends.

I didn’t realize we had a lottery for that here in NH.

I am spoiled. I live in KY where that stuff is everywhere. Blantons is harder to pick up but it’s everywhere if you know how to buy.

I didn't either.   I'll sure be looking into that.

If you paid more than $140 that's no deal. $40 for the BT, $60 for the Blanton's.

Weird, Buffalo Trace is ~$25/750 ml here, most stores limit you to one bottle per day. Blanton's is basically unobtanium.

Yeah, $40 is waaaay too much for BT.

About 6 years ago, I won a bottle of Stagg for MSRP ($99) via Virginia’s ABC.

Opened it a few years ago the night I retired from the Army.

Funny enough 130 and change for all three. Only advantage of state stores is no gouging.

Damn. Sounds like gouging to me. BT MSRP is like $24.

Was in Seattle recently. Bought a bottle and had to have the guy do a price check.

Turns out WA state tax is 20% plus another 5% city tax.

The wife and I both won 3 bottles of Buffalo Trace. I'm not particularly fond of it, but it makes great gifts for the holidays!

This is whats up for grabs in our current lottery that closed recently. The most expensive is the pappy 23 at $449.97.  I’m sure I wont get pulled, but a ton of people will be really happy when they release the results.

In NH the BT is $27.95 and the Blantons is $74.95.  Both MSRP.  I also won the same allocation in the same lottery.

Oddly enough, once people pick up their "winnings" the state of NH does an unannounced drop of all this allocated stuff and it's usually gone within a few hours.  

It's quickly announced on Facebook on "New Hampshire Bourbon Club".
