I've been really bummed that my local places have stopped carrying Buffalo Trace's White Dog Mash #1. I loved that stuff as a little taste of home, and even developed a cocktail for it.

You guys can keep the Blanton's and Buffalo Trace, I'm still trying to resupply my Weller 107, Henry McKenna 10, and Pikesville Rye stashes.
Day started kinda rough for me. Took a vehicle for maintenance and while I waited (in Raleigh) I googled where the closest ABC store was. I was within 5 miles of 3...I just needed to get my vehicle back and be at one by 10:00.
9:45 I’m on my way. Went to Wake Forest just off US 1...nothing...then one by Triangle Town...”yesterday” they said...even had the damn sign still up. Then to Sandy Forks Rd...”yesterday “. Hit two more on the way home...zilch.
Decided to stop by one in Johnston that I frequent about once a week and low and behold...there sat the delivery van. When I asked for Blanton's the lady went to her boss and told him I wanted a bottle. He went back and brought out the whole case (of 6) and I scored the first one out the case! Called a buddy and told him to get his ass in gear and get to this store...he lives 10 minutes away...sold out within 15 minutes.
Went to another closer to my house and they had it at 10:00...sold out in 10 minutes.
So, 7 ABC store visits in about 2.5 hours to walk away with one bottle.
So.... If I come across another Blanton's between now and when I head back south, you don't want to trade me a Stagg Jr for it? I much prefer the Stagg.
Will probably head to Richmond tomorrow for a few days of visiting. Maybe take the blue roads and make a few stops. Recommendations welcome.
