Still on the hunt for that elusive Blanton's though.

Blanton's is very hard to find but (a much easier to get) Buffalo Trace is the same mash bill from the same rick house. Buffalo Trace might not be a single barrel and the proof is ever so slightly less than Blanton's, but I bet side by side you will not notice the difference. I know I can't tell the difference. I owned a liquor store for about 7 years and had access to a lot of hard to get stuff.
Buffalo Trace is basically the same juice without the hype. You don't get the fancy horse with the letter on it but at about $30 you can actually get something good to enjoy.
