I had a very different reaction to this batch. I get little ethanol and all grape/watermelon jolly rancher on the nose. Blinded against all 3 batches from 2023, this was the winner by a good margin (at least on that night). All the 2023’s had a youthful ethanol bite (classic sharpie note) that I just couldn’t pick up on in the 24B, but that can certainly be a preference for sure. Palates are interesting and whiskey is fun. Always enjoy hearing your opinions even, and especially when, they differ from my experience
I agree, the 24B is a gem, and better than the 23C & 24A. Good call, I did get a slight nose of watermelon jolly-this is sweet on the pallet with some butter cream brown sugar frosting in a pipe tobacco shop- this finish lingerrrrrrrs. Cheers brother!
Ngl i got two bottles of 24a when they came out a few months ago and essentially gifted one, and just finished my other and i really enjoyed it. Its def the best bottle out there for srp!
Never had a Stagg then I finally found the 24A and my 2nd 24A came as a trade pretty quickly after that. One day I hope to get the GTS daddy Stagg. Cheers 🥃
LOVE stagg jr. it constantly blinds against my other 60 bottles and wins everytime. i will say, with mine, when i initially opened it, it had so much ethanol and dried my mouth out so much i was wondering if i was allergic to it. then i saw a video where someone else said it did the same, and needed to open up. i mixed a bit with it, and didnt have the issue, and then when it was roughly 1/4 of the way down and had been open for like 6-8 months, that completely went away, and now it's definitely one of my favorites, if not THE favorite. i agree that you should revisit in a few months, i wonder if it'll get better (i think it will)
Hope to find one of the batches for this year. Haven't had any luck with the 24's. I went to a drop this year and ended up with a couple from last year, but that's ok. They were good bottles. For 60 dollars, in my opinion, there isn't anything that beats Stagg. At $65 JD SBBP Rye comes in a close 2nd. Cheers 🎉🎉🎉
I was fortunately enough to pick up both 24A/B at SRP in back to back weeks. Haven't cracked them yet. But haven't had a bad Stagg. Either good or great.
He had my 24B open for a month or two now and the ethanol goes WAY down. Almost read like a marker to me at first, but thankfully it gave way to vanilla and cherry. Still hot, but not unmanageable by any means.
@@bourbonkingdom I just poured one 30 minutes ago, just now took my first sip and my goodness. Maybe cause I'm from the Paso wine country, always let a good wine breathe before you drink it. Cheers bro!
Jury is still out on 24B for me. Definitely not as good as 24A off the bat, but I will give it a few months and go back to it - may work wonders for it…
$60 and your just ho hum about it?? I have not seen that price in over 5 years searching nationwide. I think you guys are living in an alternate universe!....Cheers
If I ever see Stagg in my area, I will buy it!
24b opened up for me really nicely. It’s one of my favorite batches.

That’s interesting. I blinded 24B vs 24A, 22A and 22B and 24B won. I love the darkness on it. Black cherry caramel and oak. I love it.
Stagg 24B picked one about a month ago. First one for the collection.
Just picked up the Stagg jr 24C at my local store in NE Il
You guys have a very very positive review of 23C. So I think you're recalling 23B for the one you disliked from last year.

Was gonna try and trade my backup 24A for a 24B, now I’m thinking maybe I shouldn’t
I prefer the 24A over the 24B

The ethanol does go away as air gets into the bottle. I have 2 of them. $60
My 24B opened up significantly after being open for a few weeks.

*I’ve had
I have only ever had 1 Stagg (jr) and that was 22C and I really enjoy. I would definitely buy any Stagg I see around msrp. Cheers
22c? Hmmm
You guys need to do the William heaven hill 13 BIB review!
I've been through the 24A & 24B both excellent if you let em open up, that's a good thing.
We will definitely try 24B once it has had some more air time!

I just picked up a 24C from Binny’s in Chicago for $59.99
Jeez! my store is still selling the 23A
What is KBB? I want a glen
Paid $100 a month ago for it but I have opened it yet a bunch of stuff ahead of it still to try
$60 and your just ho hum about it?? I have not seen that price in over 5 years searching nationwide. I think you guys are living in an alternate universe!....Cheers
I’ve had b for almost 2 months. You guys must be in like Alaska or soemtthing
Vanilla abstract, that's the name the artist gave to Daves painted Glen.
24 b dropped in Idaho or some place out west before it hit here.
We were the last to get 24 an and b. As always. Lol
Now can i get one😢
Guy's even a "Bad" stagg is good at srp!
Dave is setting it up to never host... Nice move!
Can I have your 24B if you don’t want it ? Let me know.
To bad no one can find them
