@BourbonJunkies 5 ай бұрын

different flavor profiles. Also staggs are intentionally blended to a profile. ER is not. The barrel proof ER did not taste like our Stagg barrel we picked a couple years ago now. When you go on a pick they have to put it under one of their labels. If you are there to do an ER pick they put it under their ER label/sku which is 90 proof. If you are there for taylor it's 100 proof, so on and so forth. You don't get to pick your proofs on picks. That would be a lot of work for them to remember what each pick group wanted for each barrel and then proof each down accordingly, change labels/proofs on each release, etc when they have 100's/1000's in the queue at one time.
