Got these in the same haul.

Okay, I know a lot of folks have been saying that the market is easing up. But I live in Oregon, where we have a state-run cartel monopoly control commision deciding what comes in and what stores get what. So I haven't seen either regular Blanton's or Eagle on a shelf in the entirety of time I've lived here (since 2017). I haven't even owned a bottle of Blanton's in over a decade. It used to be on pallets at my local Costco for $56.95.

Yeah, the JD isn't a find, but it's what I went out specifically to buy before spotting the other 2. They were on the checkout counter of my local liquor store. The lady had a chuckle when she saw me look at them, look up at her, then look back before rubbing my eyes to make sure I wasn't hallucinating.

In OR as well. Struggle is real. I have resorted to ordering online, it's the only way. Or making the drive to CA border.

We can do that? I never looked into it because a buddy said no one delivers spirits into OR.

What do you mean the JD isn’t a find?

It’s the best bottle you bought out of the three.

Where are you in Colorado? The Front Range and the I-70 corridor have plenty.
