Good Bourbon
I really like the Blanton’s Gold Bourbon and Barrel Tap had it for a reasonable price. My only complaint and it wasn’t the fault of Barrel Tap was that Fed Ex screwed things up with the delivery and it took 13 days for me to get my order

Small leak around the bottle
Very good product, can tell it was packaged with care. There was a small leak around the wax seal. I could smell it when I opened the box but minimal loss.

Blanton’s Gold
This is the first time i’ve had a bottle somewhat damaged. I smelled bourbon when i opened the package. The Blanton’s Gold bottle had a leak around the wax seal at the top that was caused i think by the shrink wrap around the horse top. Nevertheless, minimal loss from bottle and really no complaints as every other delivery/bottle have been perfect. But i wanted you to know in case you’ve had this issue previously with Blanton’s bottles, etc.
