Straight From The Barrel
I haven’t had a chance to open the bottle yet (saving for a special occasion), but I can give a review for Bottle Buzz’s service. First the price after sales and discounts, and adding insurance and shipping worked out to about $45 over retail on a bottle that is extremely hard/ near impossible to get. When factoring in the pour price at most bars this made getting a bottle of Blanton’s SFTB a steal even at over MSRP. Second the shipping time (total of 14 days from order to receiving) was on par with Seelbach’s. When it did ship it only took 2 days to get here, but that was due to it coming from the Wear Coast. I noticed it was imported back in to the US so the longer shipping time may have been simply due to that. Finally the packaging was excellent. I was very impressed with how they went to great lengths to secure the bottle. It’s beautiful and I am very excited to now experience the straight from the barrel taste Col. Blanton would spoil special guests with. I highly recommend Bottle Buzz and will use them again in the future.
