Blanton’s Bourbon Wax Seal Disclaimer
Please note that Blanton’s Bourbon features a delicate wax seal that may crack or break during shipping due to temperature fluctuations. While we take every precaution—using foam inserts, bubble wrap, and double-corrugated boxes—to protect each bottle, sudden changes in heat or cold during transit are beyond our control. Cosmetic damage to the wax seal does not affect the quality or authenticity of the bourbon inside. We appreciate your understanding.
