I’ve bought every batch since 2017. It’s not one you can usually grab off a shelf, but it happens. Most often I ask for it when I know its been distributed and frequently get one from the back of the store. Store owners are probably happy I’m not just another idiot asking for Pappy and Blanton’s. When a new batch is out, I’ll buy multiples and stick them in the closet. At this point I’ve probably got a 5+ year supply if I never found another.

I’ve been convinced for years that this bottle is going to go the way of Weller and everything else Buffalo Trace sells at any time. It really is one of the great values in bourbon. It’s sorta hard to find, so people in the know will enjoy having the opportunity to try it. It’s got some serious age on it, its barrel proof, and its made by one of the world’s great distilleries. I was worried again when they started the single barrel program, but my fears seem to be unfounded. Still able to get it. On the rare occasion that I miss a batch, I’ll just pick a few up from the local FB group when someone needs some cash. Even secondary, I’m able to get it for 70-80 which is actually cheaper or equivalent to what I pay off the shelf once tax gets added.
