Some of these guys are finding Blantons and paying upwards of $150+ and have several bottles but won't drink it..

Someone said people who's never had it wouldn't understand.. I said I've had it, it's ok, I think it's overpriced for $60/bottle (normal going rate).. Boy did I create an uproar..

My family owns a bar. Blanton's is good, but way overpriced. All of the Buffalo Trace bourbon is good but overpriced, IMO, except Benchmark. I like Benchmark as much as any Buffalo Trace bourbon. It's cheap, but very good. It's our rail bourbon.

I have Blanton's, but find Elijah Craig to be very satisfactory, and the price is certainly more reasonable. Thoughts?

EC is solid...
