Understanding Purchase Restrictions And Eligibility

Allocation System: In response to the whiskey shortages, the distillery has put in place an allocation system. Under this system, Buffalo Trace Bourbon is available for purchase every day except Blanton’s, E.H. Taylor, Jr. Small Batch, Eagle Rare or W.L. Weller Special Reserve are rotated through the gift shop available for sale on different days.

Purchase Restrictions: To ensure that as many visitors as possible have a chance to purchase their whiskey brands, the distillery has implemented purchase restrictions. For the daily allocated whiskey brands, visitors are limited to one bottle of each brand every 90 days. These restrictions aim to prevent individuals from buying large quantities and ensure fair access for all customers.

If you buy Blanton’s today, you would still be eligible to purchase Eagle Rare, E.H. Taylor, Jr. Small Batch, and W.L. Weller Special Reserve tomorrow as long as you haven’t purchased the same bottle in the past 90 days.

Blanton’s Sold Out Chart

Limited Daily Supply: It’s important to note that the daily supply of whiskey allocated to the gift shop may run out before the shop closes on any given day. This is because there is a limit to how much they can offer each day.

The graph above represents the days when Blanton’s was sold at the gift shop and the time bottles sold out that day. You can see a recent trend of Blanton’s still available for sale at noon and later over the past two months. Let hope this pattern continues!

The Gift Shop is open on Monday to Saturday from 9:00 a.m. – 5:00 p.m. and on Sunday from 11:00 a.m. – 5:00 p.m.
