Congratulations on 1k!! Stagg Picks sound like the budget GTS! I have one that’s the best Stagg Jr I’ve had and compared it against most batches since 15. Congratulations on scoring a GTS, regardless of quality it’s still a legend on your shelf! Cheers!
Thanks! GTS has been my unicorn since I started getting into bourbon, and extremely grateful to finally own. I’ve had several stagg jr picks at bars, and I’ve loved everyone one. Haven’t been able to snag one yet, but on my short list
First congratulations on 1000 plus now subscribers I've been watching you for awhile and want to see more of your dog just saying. Second what a great store to do this for its customers yes you are spending serious money but the reward is a bonus for sure. On a off topic note do you duck hunt? And train your dog to retrieve?
Thanks so much for your support. You were one of my first subscribers! I might try to do anther man v. dog video. It was fun to make, but didn't do too well, so didn't make more. But I agree, I originally wanted to do more dog content overlap. Watson was breed to hunt. The breeder offered to teach him to hunt, but I never took him up on it. I've never hunted, but do love to skeet shoot at my brother's house.
I got mine for $400 and was ok with that. Obviously, I'd prefer it at SRP. That was my max to get my 1st bottle of BTAC. That was with a connection LOL. It's the best I could do. I do not spend enough to get a call from anyone. So, I make connections. Some get me bottles at SRP and some get me bottles at "acceptable" marked up prices for insanely difficult bottles to get. I am saving it for a special occasion. That said, I am not digging all the mediocre reviews. I may weigh out my trading options. It's not easy parting ways with my first and possibly only BTAC bottle in a long long time. Sucks! Thanks for the honest review.
Man, if I was offered it at $400 I’d probably snag it too. Hard decision given the price, but with how hard they are to grab, I would have done the same. I completely understand holding on to it given its sentimental value of being your first. If I didn’t have the channel, I’d probably open mine too, instead of trading, since it was my first ever BTAC bottle. Ever since I started, it was the bottle I was chasing most. Also, don’t worry over the review, it’s just my opinion. Try and find a bar pour. While it won’t be cheap, I think it be worth finding out if it’s worth keeping to you. Cheers!
@@BourbonRetriever That is a great idea. I'll try it in KY this Summer. Thanks for the great suggestion. GTS has been a bucket list bottle for a long time as well. I also had the option to pick up Thomas H Handy for $350 and passed. Of course, it's getting tons of accolades. I was trying to be reasonable so the wife wouldn't freak out LOL. I guess win some and lose some. Cheers!
@C_H_1972 please put me on youre list with you're connection people I can't find any bucket list stuff when you get yours get 2 and I got you thanks in advance
Just my unpopular opinion. I didn't really want to watch 4-5 minutes of how many subs you got to or how your local store that I'll never be able to visit works. Just get to the point. If you must talk about how your store works do it at the end so people can click off after the part they actually clicked for. Or hell, make a whole separate video about your store that you can reference.
Congrats on 1000 subs.. Good luck to you.
Thanks!

Thanks for the feedback! I'm working on getting some prototypes from vendors, and hopefully launch a merch website in the future
@@BourbonRetriever please please keep me in the loop 🙏

Beginning of the video: “this is my first btac.” Then proceeds to nonchalantly talk about it as if he’s tried every release
Sorry if I wasn’t clear. It’s the first bottle I’ve owned. I’ve had other versions at bars
