    Good show, folks! I went to a store after work today. I saw that edition of G. T. Stagg. The price was unbelievable. I won't write it here. It was many times what you said it should cost. Have people gone crazy? It was the price I saw Pappy 23 for last year. Same store wanted $78 for Eagle Rare. Nuts! This was in Tennessee.

    Excellent, excellent, excellent! Loved this one. As my son, the bourbon connoisseur said to me, I have gone down the rabbit hole. I'm fairly a newbie to this game, but I love it. I got him a Colonel E.H. Taylor Single Barrel for Christmas and he gave me a Springbrook Adirondack Blend. So fun doing the flights to compare. Time for me to get out there and find us a Stagg and a Weller. I'm told it will be a challenge to find and expensive to execute. I'm up for it. Happy New Year!!

    I had both this weekend, I was a much bigger fan of the Stagg than the WLW. The WLW came across as more aggressive and less well-rounded. The Stagg was just as aggressive, but much more flavorful and well-rounded. Definitely a big fan of the Stagg.

      Yeah, to be fair, it was at a tasting, so I could only have both neat. That was also my first time having WLW, and only the second time having Stagg, so I would probably have to have it a few more times. Also, haven't gotten into testing mine with some water.

    Let's get crazy!
    I was going to buy a bottle of GT Stagg but I bought 5 bottles of SFTB and a sample of 2005 WLW instead and saved $100... the more the merrier :-)

Now the 14 yr hits the shelf here at, $499. I'm also seeing some of the BT Antique line selling for $1800 and the Van Winkle stuff has yet to arrive. Bourbon has lost its mind and its relevance. The only people who drink this stuff now are the wealthy and channels like this. You may as well be reviewing moon rocks. And why do you guys insist on even mentioning SRP? Who sees this stuff for anywhere near that? Pure BS.
