Cline: Sure, guys, you can borrow my GTS Dan & Sean: Cool, thanks! Cline (quietly): But it's never leaving my sight and I'm bringing my machete. D&S: What? Cline: What?
How would you compare GTS 2020 vs. GTS 2022 and GTS 2023? If you could get any of the three, which would you choose? Asking as my girlfriend said she would find me one for my birthday :) Thank you!
I was able to buy 2 oz samples of this, THH and WLW, all from the 2020 release. The GTS was the best bourbon I'd ever had until I tasted the WLW. Holy smokes I hope you guys get to do an episode on that one. I still dream about it.
I actually got a bottle at retail in Michigan this year... it was very exciting, I still haven’t opened it though. I also ordered an ounce of Saz 18 and that smelled amazing and tasted great! Just waiting for a special day to open the Stagg.
Out of curiosity, while filming b-roll, has there been an almost accident involving Cookie and the featured bottle? by the way, haven't seen George T Stagg, or any of the BTAC for less than 500 here in Cali.
This one is always one of my favorites. We blinded the 19 with some other high end stuff and it still won for us. Cheers, thanks for the great content.

Got to try some recently in a flight at a restaurant. The 3 i had was william larue weller, george t stagg and thomas h handy. 3 one half ounce pours. 34 bucks. Wlw was awesome. Gts was out of this world. Probably my most fav bourbon now. Thomas handy also great.
i work in retail we sold one for $149. one and only one that is all our store got. to purchase it you had to spend a $100 just to enter a raffle and one person got to buy it at normal price same with some of the other unicorns. just to give you an idea of how hard they are to get
MSRP is $99.95 Junkies approved mark-up $300 You'd be lucky to find it for $500 Worth...MSRP. I haven't had GTS in a couple of years, but I don't recall it being 5-10X better than most bourbons I drank.
I am beyond surprised you only have 1 thumbs down getting to drink GTS! Just a testament to how awesome you guys are, even when drinking whiskey most of the world won't get! THUMBS UP! Cheers guys
@@BourbonJunkies couldn't agree more... Just feel it should be said in the video instead of just making up an artificial number that's half the price of secondary and giving it an A... Just saying there's a lot of ppl who take these reviews and say fuck it, it's got a good rating so it's worth 600% more than MSRP... Which it's not. Making a bigger deal about this shit will help future "Collectors" realize the juice isn't worth secondary.
Just an idea, since this is just hard to find to actually buy a bottle. How about giving a price for 1oz or 2oz pour for these rare bourbons? For example, I paid $15 for a 2oz pour of Stagg Jr Batch 10 this weekend.
It’s crazy seeing a video where secondary was $500 and fast forward a little bit secondary for GTS is close to $900. We need an updated video on “what we would pay”
I wouldn’t be shocked if Buffalo trace gets caught adding cherry flavoring, it’s crazy how consistently I get cherry from their products. 2020 Stagg was awesome
Been waiting on this video! I was lucky enough to win one in a lottery this year. So is this now your number 1 from last year? Also, we need more Cookie in the B-roll.

Buddy’s wife brought a GTS2020 to Vegas for his 50 and my 55 last week. Opened on Thursday, killed Sunday. It was fantastic. Even with Coke... his way.
Ya'll have a second, may be want to address the BourbonHub channel soliciting in the comments. If you call the number they posted, they may hook up with some more GTS!
Secondary on this is up to $600 now. I bought at $400 and still felt like I got a good deal. It's so much better than the past few years of GTS. Wasn't as good as the 14 or 16 but it holds it own against them
I dont see how 4 times retail is a deal. Ive never walked into a store at thought i got a great deal on something because it was 4× the price it was supposed to be.
@@LeatherDaddy97 with allocated stuff, chances are you'll never see it at retail. You'll usually see it at 6-8x retail and over secondary pricing. I got them under full secondary so I felt like I did good
@@TheDealio92 ive never payed over retail for any of the bottles i own. That includes stagg 2020, stagg jr, all of my ecbps, larceny barrel proofs, blue spot, eagle rare, blood oath weller and so on. There will always be more whiskey and you really dont need to pay those prices. Like i said, name another business where you are happy paying 4 times what you should. And the more you pay those prices, the higher they go.
@@LeatherDaddy97 congrats on having some decent honey holes then since you were able to get 1 allocated bottle at retail. I walk into stores out here and see GTS at $800 so since secondary is at $600, I thought I got a good deal. Multiple other bourbon drinkers out here thought the same. Shoes are another market where some people are happy they only paid 4x retail for some pairs.
@@TheDealio92 id tell the shoe people the same thing. And they arent honey holes. 90% of stores around me dont upcharge. If they upcharge they get shunned by the community typically. Which is how it should be. If you dont, you get $800 bottles, which is my entire point.

How would you rank these?
1. GTS
2. Blood Oath Pact 2
3. Whistle Pig Boss Hog Samurai
Probably in that order
@@BourbonJunkies Thank you!
I was able to buy 2 oz samples of this, THH and WLW, all from the 2020 release. The GTS was the best bourbon I'd ever had until I tasted the WLW. Holy smokes I hope you guys get to do an episode on that one. I still dream about it.
Some day we hope we can actually just get media samples 🤣
Drank. gTS 2017 a couple weeks ago was my fav bourbon ive tasted had WLW week later same year preferred Stagg

Nah he's pretty chill about that stuff
Truth! Multiple stores, $500. Although I did see the 2019 GTS for $399 lol!
This one is always one of my favorites. We blinded the 19 with some other high end stuff and it still won for us. Cheers, thanks for the great content.
What would you guys grade it at 500 bucks? Can’t find it anywhere for less than that here in CT.
Man that's tough, if rather have a few discovery 4s than 1 GTS. It's probably like a B- at 500 just because of price
@@BourbonJunkies Thanks, Brother. That’s what I thought.
Cookie is the best! "I usually don't drink bourbon, but when I do, it's George T. Stagg 2020."
You can find this bottle in quite a few stores all over NYC but holy heck are they marked up 5x-7x the retail in every store.

i have finally had one of the worthwhile bourbons on your channel. i feel like a winner.
I asked you guys a few weeks ago if you would recommend at $249. First ever stag and I picked it up. Going to crack it here in a bit!!

I haven't had GTS in a couple of years, but I don't recall it being 5-10X better than most bourbons I drank.
In NJ I’ve only ever seen it for the low price of $599.
It isnt. Id pass on it past retail. There will always be more whiskey.
