I'll keep an eye out Brandon, but around here it goes for about $85, which is higher than in some parts. I still buy it every time I see it just because it's hard to come across.
As for the barrel purchase, there's a lot more to that than meets the eye. It includes making a trip out there to pick out the barrel. It's a really neat process, but I haven't heard of anyone getting that opportunity with Blanton's that isn't a high end retailer.....having said that, it'll be interesting to see a response.
