What Bourbon/Scotch are you drinking?

That is entirely possible. My whisky friends and I do blind tastings every month or so. It is interesting to see how what people like does not consistently correlate with price point. When we did a cask strength rye night, the Willet was the favorite followed by Thomas Handy rye which is much more expensive. I don't remember what the others were, but those two stood out when tasting blind.

 

It is an interesting hobby.

I think the distillers play a lot of games too. One of my favorites is Stagg Jr. The batch #9 they released last year was remarkably better than other batches--so good I suspect it is George T. Stagg bottled as Jr.

Hope it works! If not it was a great try.

Bought these at a charity whiskey auction recently. Looking forward to trying them.

 

Just picked up another bottle of Noah's Mill. I've reported in the past that a couple of bottles were very grassy and generally not up to standard. The bottle I bought last night, though, was excellent. The store had four more bottles from the same lot. I am really tempted to go grab them all.

 

Nice on the Elijah Craig, haven’t had the 18 but enjoyed everything else they make

I opened a bottle of Stagg Jr Batch 11 last night. It is superb. Cherries, a bit of vanilla and black pepper and silky smooth for 127.9 proof.

 

I picked up a bottle a while ago and haven’t opened it yet. Mine is also the 127.9 but I don’t see a batch #. Where do you see it?

 

You have to do a search online, the proof varies by batch #.

Batch 11 – (Winter, 2018) – 127.9 Proof

Batch 10 – (Spring, 2018) – 126.4 Proof

Batch 9 – (Fall, 2017) – 131.9 Proof

Batch 8 – (Spring, 2017) – 129.5 Proof

Batch 7 – (Fall, 2016) – 130.0 Proof

Batch 6 – (Spring, 2016) – 132.5 Proof

Batch 5 – (Fall, 2015) – 129.7 Proof

Batch 4 – (Spring, 2015) – 132.2 Proof

Batch 3 – (Fall, 2014) – 132.1 Proof

Batch 2 – (Spring, 2014) – 128.7 Proof Bourbonex.com

Batch 1 – (Fall, 2013) – 134.4 Proof

 

^ Thanks. Knew the big one, John T Stagg was tracked that way, didn’t know the Stagg Jr was also.

 

I haven't seen anything out there in a couple months now. Not one bottle of Stagg Jr. Poof, it's gone I guess.

 

Just getting into bourbon season for me, plus really busy so haven’t checked on what’s out there. Guess it’s time to stop by a few of my favorite stores. Still have my Stagg Jr unopened from last year along with a few others ready to be unsealed.

 

Been buying up store picks(weller/wild turkey/four roses)

Actually both the Peerless rye and bourbon are pretty widely available in most markets.

Look on wine-searcher for them.
