Each stopper is part of a collectible set that spells “BLANTONS” and features different racing poses.

Gift
The gift was received intact and appreciated. My low ratings was due to being charged almost $10 for a card that I had no input on the wording to the recipient. Tried multiple variations to find a way to write congratulatory on the card, to no avail

Two bottles of Blanton’s
Received both bottles in a timely manner. Yet both bottles had the wax seal broken and both had leaked during transit. We had intended to give them away as gifts but now simply added them to my bar due to their condition.
