Odds adjusted to show Blanton’s as the favorite base on the distillery historically selling the Blanton’s derby bottle on the Friday before the derby.
The odds are calculated using historical data, and are now adjusted for any recency bias, but aren’t a guarantee. We want to encourage everyone to visit the Buffalo Trace Distillery even if the bottle they wish for isn’t the odds-on favorite for that day.
