Easy Peasy! I have looked for both Gold and Straight from the Barrel for years. My liquor store gets about 2 bottles of regular Blantons a month and you have to be “lucky” to get your hands on a bottle. I’m a fan for life!!

better prices
Packaging was fantastic. Only issue i have is that as I have made 3 separate purchases and was not offered any type of discount is extremely discouraging.Not sure if Iwill be placing another order.

The packaging in the “air puff” jackets was the best protection I’ve ever seen bottles shipped. Crazy protection! Wow! The price and selection, unbelievable. I can’t find many of the bottles and the prices are good.

Product was packed very well. Very impressed at the packing. Thought it was nice that the box was included but disappointed that the bag was not included.

Juice good, Company Bad
I ordered Blantons Straight from the Barrell once again. I was a returning customer and originally felt good about the customer service. I received Thai bottle and immediately saw that something was not right. There had been leakage with a decent amount dripping over the label and causing discoloration and other appearance issues. I contacted customer service and they suggested possibly returning the bottle for another, giving 20% off. I asked for a 20% coupon and that’s where it became problematic. They said they could not do that. They then advised that if I returned the bottle they would give me a nice discount. I said forget it and will not make any further purchases. I don’t know what the issue is 20% is 20% either on the purchased bottle or maybe a different one at another time. Not according to Barrel Tap

One very fine burbon!
We first tried this at a location in Owensboro, KY. Very impressed. This burbon has a complex tasting profile and was well worth the wait, this was our first ever tasting of Blantons and it was a good one. When we seen it become available here had to grab one.
