The reason is that people are morons.  Buffalo Trace (the distillery) makes the most sought after bourbons in the world. Namely the Pappy and VanWinkle bourbons and the "Buffalo Trace Antique Collection" (BTAC), which comes out every year.  Somehow, because they make those legitimately great bottles, people decided to buy up ordinary bottles they make.  It started with Colonel E.H. Taylor barrel proof, then Stagg Jr. and CEHT single barrel, then Elmer T Lee and Blantons, then Colonel E.H. Taylor Bottled in Bond, then Eagle Rare, and now the absolute worst and cheapest bourbon they make (which is still good) Buffalo Trace.   There is no reason other than that people are stupid.  The distillery actually prices all of them fairly, and stores mark them up because idiots will buy them.

Eagle Rare and CEHT BiB were both good values before at $30 and $40.  Blanton's was a so-so value at $50.  Just buy something from Wild Turkey, Knob Creek or dozens of others on the shelf.  Happened to Henry McKenna from Heaven Hill too, it was a great value at $30, now at $50+ it's not.  It won an award, and the taters came in and bought it up.  Same stuff that sat on shelves before that.
