Agreed. No bourbon with an age statement of less than 20 years is worth $300. If you don't have an age statement... it shouldn't be above $100 IMO. If you are ashamed of the age of your whiskey then don't charge like it's a premium product. When bourbon is trying to charge more than Macallen per year of age they screwed up. I've tried a ton of whiskey and VERY few bottles taste that much better than most barrel picks that are made up of 8-10 year old MGP. Corn doesn't evolve very much after 8 years in a barrel. There is a mountain of great whiskey at $60-70. For a bottle to be over $100 it should be 10+ years and good, or INSANELY good without an age statement. Stagg drinks like $60-70 whiskey. EHT BP drinks like $80-100 whiskey. GTS $100-150, WLW $100-150, 4 Roses LE... $100-150. Those are good bottles but they aren't the best whiskey I've found. I've had dozens of bottles that were $80 that beat the unicorns.

There is a big difference between secondary, online store and bourbon museum prices. I normally see Stagg for around $180-$200 in the secondary groups. BT released tons earlier this year and prices have gone down.

Thank you!

I would luv to have tried but when they started going for $300 plus they became dead to me like all buffalo trace products had already years ago. Good but not worth the price of admission now sadly. Barrell is about to be added for.mismanagement and was becoming a fan of there chord but they are starting to become greedy like the others. Inflation is real and im.betting the brands that are price gauging and encouraging secondary pricing will be like 1980's bourbon....dead f Michters, buffalo trace, Weller, etc. Wont wait in line , I won't be entering there drawings anymore and for damn sure wont be supporting any other brands connected to their bs

Just be patient those prices are about to tank in the next year ..I think we will see some of it this summer . Anyone charging over MSRP is gonna have to adapt or not sell whiskey

​@@ThreeBZmaybe the craft guys but not the ones they posted, not a chance. These in this video will almost always be secondary.

It’s pretty easy to know why!

This video isn't really about what the distillerys should charge. It is more about what we would pay.

Just drink any one of the millions of great non allocated bottles. Stop chasing Pokémon. You are a adult... Then it don't even matter.

Agreed about pirate bottles being sleepers on secondary. For how good the whiskey is, you’d expect the price to be double what they currently are. Just like how presidents choice used to be such a sleeper on secondary a few years ago at like only $350

Not even close. I’d rather water my high proof whiskey down to my own taste.

Online places are not the secondary markets. Secondary markets are illegal, invite only online groups. You have to do things like post some words and all prices as images instead of text.

Where'd you get this info...cause it def taste like brown foreman just barreled differently ...and it's far tastier that way but I was never sure..they Barrel at a low proof and let it come up to whatever they think tastes best..they don't water it down

Various sources including history of Michters and Fred Minnick and the published mashbill. But in the next two years it will flip over to Michters distillate. Michters is a very very young distillery with an old name and great distillery tours/tastings. But the good stuff is still contract distilled.

@@blakestah yeah I knew it was contract just didn't know exactly who...where do they get there rye cause it's also phenomenal..I got to have a couple pours of the new ten yr 2024 it's so good

I think it is gone but they have a new one coming.

From a BT rep: we've produced 25% more Buffalo Trace each year for the past few years and we do not yet see an end to our failure to meet demand.

Love 23b. I wish I could find another.

23b is the first Stagg I tried and I HATED it at first. It was terrible and turned me off of Stagg. Then I had a sample of 23A and loved it. Went back to the 23b after it had been opened for 5 or 6 weeks and it was AMAZING. Tastes like a grape Jolly Rancher to me.

Screw stagg. Ecbp is better and they dont encourage price gouging like that buffalo trace multinational corporation that is mostly concerned with shareholders. Im also starting to see american brands.that make their best products for europe or japan, so f jack daniels and blantons(bt) And bottles that start at $199 ....looking at you four gate your just another kentucky owl in my book their days are numbered i predict

@@theycallmecheese6331 You picked up the grape flavor, too?

Agreed - 23B takes a hot minute to open up, but it’s nothing short of great.

Yeah that is terrible price to be honest

I’ve only seen it once in my area and it was $300 so I left without it. You’re not alone

I did a blind with CN-F, Russell’s private selection, airport only 101 and Kentucky Sprite. CN-f came in last for me.

$130 in Tennessee last month. Patience.

@@danielbrannon 3 years of looking in SC and seen it only once for the $300. Think I’d need to move to have success. Or get lucky on a road trip

That's an absurd price for Stagg. I would go $180 on an exceptional batch and maybe $120 on an average. I would rather do the work to get a couple close to MSRP, $60..

I don’t mind paying. I have bottles in my collection that lasted over 8 years. This Stagg will be any different. I don’t drink like that. 🤣🤣🤣 Glad I have it though 👍

Go utes!
