Which Stagg is your favorite? How much would you pay for a Stagg?
So this is a super hard question to answer. Now I did a Stagg Jr Madness with the first 17 bottles of Stagg Jr. We did have a winner. So I won't ruin it. But I just love grabbing a bottle off my shelf and pouring it. I have really enjoyed a few store picks as well. cheers
@@OldFashionedWays I really need to get some Stagg store picks but they are hard to get and expensive when I see one 😅.
I'll watch the video to find out your favorite!
Batches15, 17, 23a. Stagg JR has a following so under $200 is a take for most people.
@@shanghainole Those are some wonderful batches and #15 is my favorite and something I would probably pay close to $200 for (never had the #12, which seems to be many people's favorite). Thank you for your view and comment! Super appreciate it and cheers~
제겐 일단 17이 최고에요. 22B는 too spicy without aeration. Stagg Jr는 300-400, Stagg는 200미만이면 살 의향이 있어요 저는. 제가 제일 좋아하는 버번이라.
Finally got a Stagg 23A today at the suggested retail price of $57. I am so happy. Also, got an EH Taylor Small Batch and EH Taylor Single Barrel along with Stagg at the suggested retail price. Today was a really good day.
Hey Mr. David! That is a great price for a wonderful bottle! I would be very happy as well 😆. It seems things are getting a little better as you were able to find some fantastic whiskeys at MSRP 👍.
Have a nice cool day and cheers~
Great review. Unfortunately for me Stagg is running $300 plus around me. I have tried batch 22A , 16, and 18. That is the order I would rank them in. Also want to say I think reviews are the hardest content to make. Yours is some of the best out there. Appreciate the work
Hey RJ! Thank you for the awesome compliment! I really do appreciate it 😁.
I love my Staggs but it is now getting to the point where it is better to "keep" them than it is to drink them. They are great, but $300 is just too steep. Again, hopefully with the increase production at Buffalo trace and other distillers stepping up their game, it will get easier to obtain over time.
Thanks a ton for your view and comment on the video so quickly. I truly appreciate it and happy holidays! Cheers~
Just landed this batch and it was the first one I ever bought. I was tired of hunting for Stagg jr and just decided to pay secondary. Definitely did not disappoint
Hey Janoy! I must say, if you don't enjoy the hunting or don't have the time to do so (I enjoy it and make the time to do it 😆), it's probably best to find a reasonable secondary price and just purchase it, especially if you had a pour and know you like it. The time, gas, and wear & tear you save is probably going to be the same as if you purchased it MSRP sometimes, especially if you hate to hunt or have small talk with store employees.
Let me know if there is any other bottles you had in 2023 that is worth the secondary pricing!
Thank you so much for your view and insightful comment! Greatly appreciate it and cheers~
Great video. I picked up 23C recently and it's my first one. Absolutely delicious and it's one of top bourbon of the year. Had to pay little under secondary.. wish I couldve picked it up MSRP. Good seeing you at the TW!
Hey Danny(?) (Sorry if I got your name wrong), a little under secondary for your first Stagg is just fine! I did the same thing for my first Stagg and we all go through it. At least you got a great batch for your first one and hopefully you'll find some Stagg for msrp in 2024!
Thanks for your view and comment! Super appreciate it and happy holidays! Cheers~
@@WhiskeyBank yup, that's me. After I tried it, I felt the Stagg was worth the cost. Have a good one!
@@100Proofer nice! Still remember as it was my first instance of getting noticed in public 😆. Thanks again Danny and maybe we'll see each other again!
I just walked into one of my local stores the only one I’ve never been in. Struck up a conversation with the owner. He ends up telling me he has this bottle for 61.99. Can’t wait to get home and try it
That is awesome! Hopefully that relationship can build as you buy non allocated bottle and the owners rewards you with the good stuff! Once you try it, let me know how you like it!
Thanks a ton for your view and comment! Greatly appreciate it and cheers ~
Darn. Did not know you had 23C. I sent a sample of it in the package you will get hand delivered Friday. Oh well. I enjoy it, but my favorite is still 22A. Great review as always. I had a chance to get a 2nd 23C, but picked up another Baker’s 13 instead. Happy New Year! 🥃
Hey Dave! For this batch, I will take all of it as it's a delicious pour! Thank you so much! I usually don't get back ups of Stagg (mainly due to the fact that I can't get two, let alone one) and choosing the Bakers 13 over a back up is a good idea. I like 23C slightly over the 22A but honestly, if I go back to it tonight, I might change that opinion 😆.
I truly appreciate you taking the time to view and comment so quickly after the video posted! Helps out the channel tremendously and happy holidays! Cheers~
Which is sweeter?
@@nicholasgarcia7830 in terms of pure sweetness, 22A is sweeter as I got more fruit sweetness along with sugar. While 23C was the maple sweetness with coffee bitterness. Hopefully this was helpful!
such a great review. I have not seen that bottle anywhere near me. I would love to grab a bottle. keep it up. cheers
Hey Doc! If you are able to get this batch, please do a review as I want to see what notes you get as I was surprised I didn't get any fruit in the palate.
Thank you so much for all your support in 2023! Hopefully you'll continue making great content in 2024 and continue doing reviews! Happy holidays and cheers ~
@@WhiskeyBank will do bud. I just found 22a.
@@OldFashionedWays nice! It seems that's everybody's favorite 👍
Excellent review. Thanks. I just picked up a 23c in Dallas.
Nice! Once you try it, let me know how you like it and if you get some of the same notes I got!
Thanks a ton for your view and comment! Super appreciate it and cheers ~
Great video. Stagg 22A has been the best for me so far followed by batch 18
Hey Kutlass! It seems the majority of the comments have said 22A is the best so far they have in the last couple of years! I have that just slightly behind the 23C (in term of experience score), but maybe I'll go back to it soon and revisit it to see for myself again. If you ever get the 23C, let me know your thoughts or maybe do a video!
Thank you for your view and comment! Super appreciate it and Happy New Year! Cheers~
@WhiskeyBank Definitely. Hopefully I can get my hands on one soon to do the comparison. My reviews aren't nearly as great as yours! But I will do one. Cheers and Happy New Year! 🥃
@@kutlasshighproof Your videos are great! I just have to mask my lack of personality with editing 😆. Keep doing what you do and cheers~
@WhiskeyBank Lol. Thanks! I still have a long way to go be at your level. Everyone has their own style. From being animated like Myron at Bourbon Drop to being subdued like you, and it works. I love watching both of you because of what ya'll being to your reviews.🥃 #keepgrinding
Outstanding review! At times it doesn't hurt to have a low proof and this sounds like its on point. Yea, I can't find a Stagg at MSRP and the closest I was able to snag one was when Total Wine had their drop earlier this month and all gone by the time I got there. I do see them at other locations,but 200-300 bills, I'll pass. I use to get them with ease, but ever since I restarted my bourbon journey, I've had no luck. 😄 Keep up the amazing content and cheers!
Hey Jesus! It is sad to see this great bottle not being available as it should be! A bourbon lover and hunter like you should be able to get one 😅. At least at reasonable prices.
But the low proof really helps out this batch and it seems they used "lower" level barrels more as it is smooth and oily more than spice and hot.
Thank you so much for viewing and commenting so quickly after I posted the video! It really does help my channel and happy holidays! Cheers~
Great video! I’m up in Missouri for a few days and just picked up the Ben Holladay Rickhouse Proof and the Ben Holladay Soft Red Wheat. Super excited to try these two, especially the Rickhouse
Hey Cicero! Those are some nice pick ups! I really would like to try those but they haven't come to Southern California yet. I do have the regular bottled in bond from Ben Holladay so I'll need to open that one up soon. Once you have a pour of those two bottles, let me know how you like them!
Thank you so much for your view and comment! Greatly appreciate it and happy holidays! Cheers~
@@WhiskeyBank I learned about Ben Holladay Bottled in Bond from one of your videos. It’s available in the Dallas area but the others aren’t. I picked one up and it’s outstanding! Thanks for letting me know about this great Distillery!
great review! I spy that Old Overholt 10 up there ;). cant wait to get my hands on 23A,B,C!
Hey Stooders! Old Overholt 10 should be my next review as I had the bottle on the queue for a while and I can't wait to open it and see how it is! Hopefully the 3 batches a year from Stagg is a continuing trend and not a one time thing so there is more supply of it and increase our chances of getting our hands on it at a reasonable price! (increase chances might still be small, but increase is an increase). If you get your hands on a Stagg batch in 23 or 24, let me know how you like it and if it met your expectations!
Thank you so much for your view and comment! Super appreciate it and happy holidays! Cheers~
David,
Boy wouldn't it be nice if they would release more. Almost every review I see on this year's offerings makes my mouth water. Maybe one day I'll walk in and there it sits, waiting for me to take it home at a reasonableprice. Lol
Great review.
D
Hey Dana! It does just sit on the shelves now at $200 when it would sell out even at that price last year so maybe there is hope? It might take some time but I believe!!! 😆. Next time we meet, I'll make sure you get to try some Stagg 😁.
I hope you and your family a joyous holiday season and take care my friend!
That’s what the world needs… believers like you 😂
Patience is not my strong suit.
D
@@danawollam1805 same here. I hate waiting 🤣
Ok, so now you need to send me the rest of that bottle so I can keep it safe for you… 😂
Great review, probably never see that release here. It’s very hit or miss on Stagg Jr. around here. Glad you got one!
Very surprised to see a 3rd release, it might become a collectors bottle if they never release a 3rd batch again.
If you happen to get another at $60, sign me up! Your rating of it has me wanting one now. 😂 Dang you and your amazing reviews!
Awesome review and video! Looking forward to the Old Overholt and yes, Stagg deserves all the hype it garners. Cheers! 🥃
Hey Vic! Let's talk about how I can hand you off some of this Stagg so you can see for yourself if you like this "low proof" Stagg! I was thinking about the 3rd batch, but it being so low proof, I don't think it'll be a collector's item and with the increase in production, I'm hoping there will be 3rd and 4th batches a year!!
If I find one at $60 again, I should sign up for a lottery or something else as it will probably not happen again.
My next review will be the Old Overholt but fast tracked the Stagg as I really wanted to get this one in before the year end.
I'm so thankful for all your views and comments in 2023! I appreciated every single one of them and hopefully there will be more in 2024! I hope you and your family have a joyous holiday season and cheers my friend!
I got a friend trying to trade for my stagg 23c he’s offering still Austin CS store pick and still Austin CS rye. I’m in Maine and don’t see SA bottles at all. Is that a good deal for me?
For me, I would not do that. Still Austin will eventually come to your area but stagg will always be hard to get. Only exception would be if the store pick was Nancy Fraley's pick from the distillery (it's only sold at the distillery).
Hope this helps!
@@WhiskeyBank I get that but at the same time nothing gets up here to Maine like NOTHING! 0 eagle rares no nulu no 13th colony like nothing gets up here. I payed $62 for the stagg and I’m sure it’s great but I can get a 2for1 with the still Austin’s which total comes to like $150. So idk.. but yeah in Maine we see nothing it’s very very sad
@@Mr.KobeZoom Obviously it's your call, but that probably also means Stagg is super hard to find in your area as well so all I'm saying is that I rather drink one Stagg than 2 Still Austin bottles. Still Austin is a delicious pour but Stagg is an experience 😆
@@WhiskeyBank no that’s very true! I appreciate you giving me advice and LOVE your channel man you don’t miss a thing with the info on bottles it’s amazing
Love the review! 22A is my current favorite! Love the notes you got on this! Cheers 🥃
Hey Sean! Thank you so much! It seems 22A is everybody's favorite, maybe I need to do a review.... or maybe not. The black coffee note was a nice find and I hope I get it again when I go back to it in a couple of days.
I'm grateful for all your views and comments on my videos in 2023! Do to your support, I was able to get this far. I appreciated every single one of the comments and I hope you and your family a joyous and wonderful holiday season! Cheers~
@@WhiskeyBank I absolutely enjoy your videos and I am thrilled to see your success! Looking forward to more amazing things in 2024! I hope you have an amazing New Year and buckle up for more good things in the future! Cheers my friend! 🥃
@@echoesineternitybourbon Same for you Sean! Thanks for all the encouragement and kind words to push me to where I am at today 😆. Let's hope for a healthy and prosperous new year! 🥳
Excited to crack this. I was able to pick up a bottle for MSRP and was shocked to see a 23C batch!
Hey TJ! Same here! When I heard it was available and it was batch 23C, I thought it was a mistake! 😆. I'm glad I was able to get one as this batch is so delicious! Let me know how you think of the batch once you try yours.
I greatly appreciate you viewing and commenting on the video so quickly after posting! It really helps me out and happy holidays! Cheers~
Will do!
Great review! I got lucky yesterday Total Wine up here in Santa Rosa had Batch 23B on the shelf (for about 2 hrs 😂) also $60!!! Limit one per though 😢 I've never paid more than $90 for Stagg Jr, and I'd probable pay up to $120 but no more bc I have too many bottles already (not of Stagg just in general!). I also have the Batch 18 but haven't opened it yet. I've only tried 14, 15 and 22B. 15 is definitley the sweetest flavor punch, but I really like the darker more aged profile of 22B. Cheers!
Thank you for the awesome compliment! That 23B is a great catch! I agree it's at most a $120 bottle, but there is that sentimental value of having that bottle so sometimes people just can't beat that emotion. Just like I did when I bought my first Stagg. Not a great memory.
You have tried some nice batches and I agree that 15 is probably the best of the bunch! 18 is probably the most spice forward of the batches and for me, 23C was great due to it's mellow sweet and coffee note, but many people like the 22A and 22B more.
Let me know what you think of the 23B and how it compares to 22A and 22B.
Thank you so much for your view and comment! Super appreciate it and Happy New Year! Cheers~
I too live in Santa Rosa.. let me know if you find any other unicorn bottles in the wild at or near MSRP lol
@@patrickedward5120 Not sure if it's considered a unicorn, but Total Wine had BT White Dog Mashbill#1 $15 for 375ml. It was hidden on the edge of the Rye section. Cheers!
Batch 2 is my favorite but I do love all the Staggs.
Wow! Batch 2, I never even seen any Staggs in the single digits 😆. Let's hope I am able to say this about 23C when batch 100 comes out 😂.
Thanks a ton for your view and comment! Super appreciate it and cheers~
The next time I score a batch 2 I'll send you a handshake 🤝 😉
I've not seen a Stagg (Jr) on the shelf for under 2 hundo in a long time, so I've not been able to pick up any new batches that being said, i dont think you can lose with any of the bottle versions. Your descriptions are ever so enticing
Hey Marvin! It seems if you're going to get any batch, 22A is the one from the majority of the comments and their favorite the last couple of batches. From my notes, 23C was better (score wise), but if I go back to it tonight, that might change! Let's hope the increase in batches will continue in 2024 and with more supply, prices will come down (a least slightly).
I greatly appreciate all your views and comments in 2023! Thank you so much and hopefully you'll stick around in 2024! Happy New Year and cheers~
@@WhiskeyBank absolutely. Been fun watching your videos
Cracked it last night…was not a fan! I picked up on a clay/magic marker note that I get from TX whiskeys. It surprised me, as I LOVE 22A! I will give it a 2nd chance before I commit to that, though. Thanks for the review!
Hey Russell! Interesting! I had the 23C slightly ahead of 22A but will need to go back to it tonight just to see for myself again. I can how my "black coffee" note could be like a "clay or magic marker" note. Hopefully when you go back to it, it'll be a little different as I really enjoyed it. Let me know if anything changes after you give it a 2nd chance!
I super appreciate you viewing and commenting on the video so shortly after posting! Helps out my channel tremendously! Thank you and happy holidays! Cheers~
@@WhiskeyBank I’ll keep you posted my friend. Love your content. Merry Christmas & happy holidays to you and yours!
@@rstrunk85 can't wait to get your thoughts after the 2nd chance and Merry Christmas and happy new year!
Ive only purchased Stagg at retail $49.99 in NC but if i see it at $100-150 i'd get multiple if i can. 🤷🏾♂️
Haven't had the 23C yet. Looking forward to getting one some day
Hey Big W! I'm hoping in 2024 that the price point of Stagg will come down as they do more batches and hopefully more bottles per batch. One can hope.
If you get a chance to get the 23C, let me know your thoughts once you have a pour to see if you agree or disagree with my review!
Thank you so much for your view and comment! Super appreciate it and happy holidays! Cheers~
Nice review! I got lucky when I walked into the local BevMo a couple of weeks ago and they just unloaded a case of Stagg 23c, I grabbed one for 72.00 bucks! First and only Stagg I’ve ever had. Very nice pour, but no others to compare:(
Hey Nick! If you got that lucky, no need to compare to other batches and just enjoy the one you have~ FOMO is hard to beat but have a pour of your Stagg and let that smooth away~ I'm hoping there will be more releases and batches in 2024 so we'll get "lucky" more often with Stagg and have other batches to compare it to.
I truly appreciated all your views and comments in 2023! I hope you stick around in 2024 and happy holidays! Cheers~
@@WhiskeyBank that same day I got a Blanton’s Gold for 195.00 and every store around sells it for 350.00-450.00 last week I got 6 bottles of Blanton’s for 50.00 each and three Eagle Rares for 29.00 each! Cheers
Picked up a Belle Meade Madeira finished today for 70.00 and it’s a really nice pour!!
@@nickp5511 nice! Never had any Belle Meade but heard they are a great pour! Cheers tonight ~
@@nickp5511 wow! That is some haul my friend! Even I can't find blantons and eagle rares at those prices! 😅. Hope you find more in 2024!
감사합니다. 18배치는 있고 23C는 없는데.. 23C를 찾아나설때가왔군요 ㅋㅋㅋ
23C 개인적으로 최근 2년 배치들중 제일 맛있는것 같아요 ^^
That was huge pour dude!
🤣🤣🤣 I do love my Stagg! But also I do the tasting over 20 minutes with several breaks in between to see which notes I get. Which is all an excuse to drink more Stagg 😆.
Thanks a ton for your view and comment! Super appreciate it and cheers ~
I got one at retail. I've had Stagg in the past. It's a tough bottle to open when someone is willing to pay more than 3x for it.
Hey Robert! I absolutely agree! When the value of the bottle is higher than the actual experience, it is hard to open and not just "test the market". I didn't want to review Staggs but this one intrigued me due to the low proof and it being a 3rd batch this year. Luckily, it was very delicious!
If you do open yours, let me know your thoughts!
Thank you so much for viewing and commenting on the video so quickly! I greatly appreciate it and happy holidays! Cheers~
Missed the $119 holiday sale in my area twice 😂 I've seen in some smaller mom and pop shop for $200 I wonder if I should buy it.
Hey Ru! Fight the FOMO and wait for another sale! With Dry January coming up, I'm hoping there will be more sales this year as it seems liquor stores are having boxes of bourbons they thought would sell out. At least in my area, Elijah Craig private barrels and even Four Roses Single Barrel Barrel Strength picks are sitting on shelves for a long time so there is hope for a sale. I would definitely buy at $120, but wait at $200. The most I would pay if I can't fight my FOMO would be $150. But if the FOMO wins and you get a bottle, let me know how you like it and if you agree or disagree with my review!
Thank you so much for your view and comment! Super appreciate it and I hope you get a Stagg at MSRP in 2024! Happy holidays and cheers~
It's going for $259 and up around my area and imo not worth it with as much batch to batch variation. The fomo is strong with this one though so instead of being priced along the lines of E.Craig BP's it's unobtainable for most. I've just picked up my 2nd one. LOVED the 22A which was my first
Hey Mark! It seems many of the comments suggest 22A is better than this batch (23C). I like the coffee note in the 23C over the 22A, but both are delicious and if I do a side by side comparison tonight, I'm sure I might like the 22A better. It is a gamble on the batch to batch variance but that's what also makes the bourbon and Stagg more exciting as you never know what you're going to get once you open that bottle!
Thank you so much for your view and comment! Greatly appreciate it and Happy New Year!! Cheers~
@WhiskeyBank Wasn't able to grab a 23C but have been able to work into the sub $200's at 2 of my favorite stops going forward so I'm looking forward to July 😉
@@mlinder2000 nice! Let me know when you get the 2024 batch and how you like it! 😁
Great review cheers
Hey Chris! Thank you! Have you had any Stagg? If so, did you like it? Which batch is your favorite?
Thank you so much for always watching and commenting on my videos! Super appreciate it and happy holidays! Cheers ~
@@WhiskeyBank I’ve had the 22 b I think it was a sample and I really liked it a lot
@@belowaveragebourbon nice! Time to get more stagg!
I would never pay over $60 for Stagg. I get mine during the buy 6 save 20% off at Vons/Albertsons. I have the 131.1 proof batch plus 22A and 23C. Both the latter taste very similar to me and I prefer them to the 131.1 proof bottle I have.
Hey Jim! If I had a choice, I would never pay over $60 for Stagg, but sometimes reality with demand higher than supply (at $60 for sure), only thing liquor stores can do is raise the price to balance it out. Considering prices for some decent bourbon is now $70 to $120, I would pay $120 for a bottle of Stagg if it meant I could just walk into a store and walk out 😁.
Some people don't drink enough to become good clients or don't have the personality or patience to build relationship, which is unfortunate. I have both but it seems I'm not doing a good job of it as I get no BTAC or Pappys 😆. I need to learn your secrets 😉.
Thanks a million for your views and comments today! So greatly appreciate it and cheers~
@@WhiskeyBank I see your point. I mainly hunt Costco or the local markets so the price is set. There are some stores like Cypress Craft and OC Bottle shop close by and offer at $100 or more. I would pay more for a store pick of Stagg just because I’ve never had one.
@@jimbird1985 Stagg store picks are such a gamble as it is really up to the "picker" on how they like it. I ask the store manager or owner who picked it and if they like sweeter or more spicier whiskeys as for Stagg, sweeter seems to be better as it will have more of the fruit sweetness than caramel. I only had two store picks, but they were fantastic!
I try to shop at Costco, Vons, Ralph's, or Stater Brothers, but it's so random. I need to start building relationships over there more. I will give it a shot in 2024!
If possible could a blind between Stagg, JD SB BP and another high proof Bourbon be done? In curious to see who would win. For me Stagg Jr is good up to $130 all in to get it off your bucket list. Anymore and it’s just not that good. For me it’s good but not $200+ good.
He Dean! $130 is a fair price point for a Stagg. I'm hoping it will come down to that price point in 2024 with more batches and more releases. I do a lot of blind privately to test myself and to see what I enjoy, but I won't be doing them on video anytime soon. The reason is... It's boring to watch. I recorded myself doing blinds and when I re-watched it, it was boring AF. If I put that out in public, I might use all my subs, including you. Hopefully I can improve my "boringness" when doing blinds in the future so I can actually put out videos, but for now, these will have to do.
Thank you for the suggestions and keep them coming!! Maybe I will do one if I get enough requests.
I appreciated every single one of your views and comments in 2023! Hopefully you'll stick around in 2024 and happy holidays! Cheers~
I picked one up for $60 retail as well.
Hey MKE Drones! That is great to hear! I am hearing more and more people saying they got this at MSRP, which is wonderful news! Hopefully with the 3rd batch (and a continuing trend of 3 batches in 2024), there will be more Stagg available to the public and more of us will get it at good prices!!
Once you have a pour, let me know your thoughts and if you agree or disagree with my review!
Thanks a ton for your view and comment! Greatly appreciate it and happy holidays! Cheers~
I have not seen any of the 23 releases. They typically run $200-$400 when you see it.
Hey Michael! That's tough. It's about the same here, but I guess as I hunt more and get to know where to go at what times, it seems I get "lucky" more often than I used to. I do spend a lot of time hunting so if I think about all the time and mileage I spent to get this bottle, maybe $200 a bottle isn't so bad (gas is expensive.....). Hopefully you will find a bottle of Stagg at a reasonable price soon! I'm being serious when I say that in 2024, I believe Stagg will be "easier" to get at "reasonable" prices at your local stores. "Easier" doesn't mean easy but if you have a local store you visit often, I think you'll be able to do so.
Thank you so much for all your views and comments in 2023! I truly appreciated every single one of them and hopefully you'll stick around in 2024! Have a wonderful holiday season and cheers~

$300-$500 in Florida
Hey Freedom! I heard Florida is not the best place for Buffalo trace products (eagle rare, blantons, stagg, etc.). Hope there are good alternatives in your area like 13th Colony or ASW from Georgia until you find a bottle of Stagg at a reasonable price.
Thank you so much for your view and comment! Greatly appreciate it and happy holidays! Cheers~
I got 2 bottles at msrp
Hey M! Lucky person you are!! I only got 2 bottles of Stagg at MSRP in my lifetime, let alone one batch. But hopefully this means the allocation is getting better (better doesn't mean good) and in 2024, it will be a little bit easier to find Stagg at MSRP. Hopefully.
Once you have a pour of the Stagg 23C, let me know your thoughts and if your agree or disagree with my review!
Thank you so much for your view and comment! Greatly appreciate it and happy holidays! Cheers~
The perks of bringing your wife to an allocated drop.
I picked up a unique minty finish on with my first pour. Not getting the coffee flavor but the bottle may evolve after being opened.
@@m.687 I might be more sensitive to that coffee note as I have too much coffee in the morning 😆. Maybe I need to cut back on the coffee and drink more whiskey 😂. I wish my wife would do that same but I'll live with her not complaining about my weekly hauls 😄! Cheers~
Sweeter than 22a?
Hey Nicholas! As mentioned in the previous comment, I don't think the 23C is sweeter than the 22A as 22A has a little more fruit sweetness along with the brown sugar notes while 23C has maple but very little fruit. I'll need to do a comparison again sometime soon as I drink too much to remember it all 😆.
Thanks a ton for your view and comment! Super appreciate it and cheers ~
It's all hype just give me Evan Williams bottled and bond
Hey James! That's true but there are some days (or nights) that just calls for a special bottle even if you know it's overpriced (i.e. going to a fancy restaurant or steakhouse). It surely shouldn't be a everyday thing (for most people), but certainly something that can be good for the soul 😆. But if you have no desire or need to get these hyped up or overpriced bottles, that is awesome as I don't have that kind of discipline 😥. Also, channel would be boring if I just did reviews of the EW Bottled in Bond all day 🤣.
Thank you so much for your view and comment! Super appreciate it and cheers~
@@WhiskeyBank I just don't have the cash since I retired to buy expensive truth be told However, there's nothing better than a jack Daniels ryes my favorite old forester 1920 probation those green apples But I was raised on beans. And potatoes and I like them still
@@jamesbullard8300 That's awesome 👍. If you're happy, that's all that matters. I guess there is too much FOMO in life and I'm not helping 🤣.
@@WhiskeyBank oh no that's not true it's interesting to discuss good medicine
I guess I will have to stay with JDSBBP
Hey Darrell! Stagg is great but there are wonderful and great bottles out there that are probably just as good or better. Like you mentioned JDSBBP and Rye are both fantastic, but so are Old forester BS picks, Russell's picks, K.luke, Doc Holladay, ASW, 13th Colony, etc. Wish I had the money to buy them all! (And an extra liver to drink it 🤣).
Thank you for all your views and comments this year in 2023! I appreciate every single one of them and hopefully you'll stick around in 2024 🙏.
Happy holidays and cheers ~
@WhiskeyBank until I find stagg for a good price it can stay where it is
@@darrellknight4110 the way it should be 👍
Unicorn bottle.
Hey Mike! It is a hard to get bottle but I'm hoping in 2024, it will be easier (not easy, but just a little easier) to get! It seems supply is going up and if they keep doing 3 batches a year, that's just another opportunity to get one!
Thank you so much for your view and comment! Greatly appreciate it and happy holidays! Cheers~
Shiba to the moon…
