Why Is Blanton’s So Hard to Find?

Updated August 2026.

Hard to find is allocation talk, not a TTB class. Blanton’s Original is a single-barrel bourbon from Buffalo Trace. The official page prints 93 proof (46.5% ABV) and Mash Bill #2. Allocation and lottery lists are retailer practice. We will not invent a 2026 street price or a production number. A 1.5-ounce pour at 46.5% is 1.16 NIAAA drinks.
