Walked into a craft brewery the other day and saw a Stagg Jr on the shelf and asked how much for a pour. bartender didn't know offhand so she looked it up on the register. $12 so of course I said give me a pour. She ended up giving me a rocks glass 1/2 full no ice. It was awesome and now my new unicorn find.
@daviddegeorgia7955 Жыл бұрын
The only problem is that each Stagg Jr is quite a bit different. Different proofs and flavor profiles etc. I have two bottles and I like one much more than the other. I still think if you can find Stagg Jr. for under $100 you buy it of course. The first bottle I paid $90 for and the second $70 but the first bottle is better to my flavor profile.

I just got my 1st stagg last week. Batch i think 19, 22b. 130 prf. $50. Was at a local stores point redemption day. They had like 243 bottles of which 20 stagg, 30 blantons, 3 eh taylor straight rye, bunch of eh sml batch n quite a bit of SiB. 3 russells 13, 2 rock hill farms, $hit ton of eagle rare 1.75L. Buncha good stuff. Started at 10am on a sat, i got there by 7:30 n was 9th in line. One guy was there like 6:15. By 10 there was already 100+ ppl. You could only get 1 bottle, and if you wanted a second you had to get back in line. Luckily i found the store like a month-month and a half before the redemption day, and like 2 weeks before they wanted to get rid of a few of their store picks so did extra 5 points on top of the points the bottle was worth. Lucked out pretty good. My brother got one of the russells 13 for like 135-140.

Just a day after watching this video, I was at a fundraiser with a silent auction. One of the items up for bid was a basket with a bottle of EHT Single barrel and two tickets to a local Whiskey festival. The festival tickets alone were valued at $95 each. I snagged the basket for $165. Only 5 bids on it. I could not believe I got it for that bid. I would have paid that for the bottle alone which I have never seen on the shelf here locally.

If we're talking BiB and not barrel proof, it's about a $50 bottle, with mark-up. MSRP is 39.99 but it's allocated so you'll very rarely see that. If you see it for over $70, leave it. It's good but not that good. For $100 there's definitely way better bourbons out there. I can't speak for the single barrel though, never tried it

Good video as usual! I find pricing a very random issue. I, like a lot of folks, want to know if something is worth it before you shell out a lot of money. But, once I've tasted it, I think the "reach test" is a bit more grounded. Meaning, would I reach for this bourbon over that one. (Of course that is limited to what you feel like drinking at any given time. Sometimes you want a big, bold, barrel proof that takes things to 11....Stagg Jr. And, other times you want the sweet, smooth, balanced, comfortable slippers that is E.H. Taylor Small Batch.) Ultimately, my point is there are MANY craft brands that sell far in excess of these, and you'd probably never "reach" for them over these 3-4. I respect Bardstown, especially the discovery series; same for Barrell Spirits, but are you reaching for them over these 4? All these Dickel + MGP ++, often don't add up to better, just older (and so more oak). I tried an Old Carter recently, and while it was good, all I could think about was "Boy that isn't even close to being worth $300-800 a bottle it sells for. There are several sub-100 dollar bourbons that are as good or better." Same with Kentucky Owl. That also setting aside celebrity nonsense like Sweetens Cove. I guess that's why fair blind tastings are always so revealing.

One thing I struggle to understand…if Buffalo Trace is one of the largest distilleries in Kentucky, why do they have such a hard time meeting demand when I see tons of the other big boy distilleries on the shelves in my area? Is the demand for their products in particular just that much more than Wild Turkey, Old Forrester, Elijah Craig, Four Roses, Woodford, etc etc..?
@Vortex1988 Жыл бұрын
I've seen people post pictures of themselves online buying out entire shelves of BT products, so yeah, demand for anything BT is ridiculously inflated. I also think they try to support too many brands. If you look at Wild Turkey, they have about 7 brands that you can find pretty reliably. Four Roses has 4. Buffalo Trace has 20 or more.
@inspectorwinship9538 Жыл бұрын
Buffalo Trace is allocating at the distillery as well. Harsher than even liquor stores. It seems that the pandemic really did lead to a shortage of ready to sell stock. Could be another year or two until they're back up to normal. The following is as of this morning, from the website: "Buffalo Trace Bourbon is limited to one bottle per visitor, per day. Subject to availability, all other whiskies are limited to one bottle of each brand, per visitor, every 90 days." Kudos to them, they aren't raising MSRP by too much. If you're paying substantially higher prices somewhere, that's on the seller, not BT.

After searching for a year, I recently added not one, but two bottles of EHT Barrel Proof to my lineup. It is incredible juice, but yes it is basically 133 proof Small Batch, so there are many of the same tasting notes there. Paid 129 and 275 for those. My EHT Single Barrel I paid 180, mine is a little peaty and super oaky, not my favorite. My best price on Straight Rye was 165, it is excellent. My best Stagg price has been 65. This is middle TN outside of Nashville. I am finding it a a lot for 100 or less and I agree it is a must buy for that price. Stagg is the champ of this whole lineup, followed by EHT BP. I can tell you, Stagg 22B, 22A, 23A, & 23B are all bangers, especially 22B. I have blinded Stagg 22B against WLW and Buckner's and it stands up to them both.

Honestly, I think the only brand from Buffalo Trace that I could see myself buying regularly, if it was available for a fair price, is EH Taylor. I think the small batch is just alright, but the bottle of Single Barrel that I have is great. It's complex and the flavors are super balanced. It's also distinct from a lot of other bourbons. The flavor profile is just delicious, and I would imagine it gets even better as you work your way up to the more expensive EH Taylor offerings. Stagg Jr, on the other hand, is just fine imo. It's definitely not worth the price or the time to find it. It's not very complex, often just tasting like grape cough syrup. It's a one trick pony that's only lauded due to its proof. You can find cheaper, more available, and better barrel proof bourbons for less.

I just made up the following 1 EHT small batch, 1 Eagle Rare , 1 EHT Single barrel and he could have my bottle. This moron ended up trading me 2 ER’s, an EHT small batch and a Russell’s Reserve Single Barrel for one Blantons. Lol. Shows one the BT insanity is real. And for NO reason.

Question for you regarding EHT Small Batch - first time ever trying EHT this past weekend. Loved the nose and beginning taste, but the finish seemed to be somewhat flat or just fall off. Now, I only had the one pour and will revisit this weekend, but wanted to see if I’m off on this or is that just the profile compared to others bourbons, say a Widow Jane 10yr or OF 1920, since those are a few bottles I’ve picked up based on your videos. Just curious. And - I’ve really enjoyed the content you all produce. Fun and educational that has led me to a number of new bottles that has actually become more of a collection now :) thanks again!

I’m an EH Taylor slappy… Will buy every bottle I come across. The Rye is a Rock&Rye bomb and my favorite so far- need to get ahold of a Barrel Proof next. Was lucky enough to get some Stagg recently. For MSRP too, and it is as good as I imagined. Gotta love that Buffalo Trace stuff! Sure wish they made it more available tho.

There are so many great $50-$80 bourbons. It's getting hard to pay more for anything beyond that for drinking, unless you really love something, or want to display, flip or trade it.

Barrel Proof is $67 plus tax. Only reason I know is because i won a lottery to buy one. It's a batch 10 and is sitting on my shelf waiting to be opened. So StaggJr vs EHT barrel proof... are they very similar in flavor?
@slbdrinks Жыл бұрын
Thanks for the price update! For me the Taylor bp is standard Kentucky bourbon flavors in a bold and beautiful way! Stagg jr is a bit different to where notes of cherry also shine. Both fabulous but for me Stagg jr is the bomb!

Only took 3 hours. For my First Taylor BP. And I love EH taylor. Sat on that BP for 2 years. All my friends kept asking when are you gonna pop that top. I kept saying.

I've had two bottles of EH Taylor, a Barrel Proof and a Single Barrel. I donated both to a charity auction and they raised a ton of money. I drowned my sorrows in Eagle Rare and Blanton's. My local liquor store seems to get good allocations of Buffalo Trace products, my complaint is they often sell them in bundles and I wind up having to buy something awful like Fireball.
