Just finished the glass. Damn. Yeah it’s really good for the price. And I think I even overpaid too.

What are you guys getting it for?

 

[Big Jilm]

It will be $29.95 when I buy it on Sunday

While I am at it (the bottom shelf that is), should I try the Evan Williams Single Barrel?

$24 or $25, plus another 7% sales tax, here where I am. Guess I will get one too now.

 

[Big Jilm]

I am adding the following to the shopping list which will include the OGD114 and the EWSBV:

Coopers Craft 100
Sagamore Double Oak (or whatever is available...likely the cask strength rye)

 

[wolfpack]

On a weekend trip in Virginia and picked up a bourbon from a local distillery. 65% corn 35% malted barley mash bill

 

[BruceWayne]

This... this is my first sampling of Stagg jr.

Came home from vacation to find some heavy hitters waiting for me.

Thanks @Big Jilm.

Shhhh. Don't talk about Early Times.

My 97 year old stepfather goes thru a 1.75 liter bottle of Early Times every 2 weeks

Ran across a bottle of this in a SC liquor store but passed due to not being familiar with this specific bottling.

Is it worth buying at $75 plus tax when I go back tomorrow? I have a store pick single barrel select rye that I love, but it was only $50 at my local NC ABC store. Is this cask strength worth the $25 more?

@Big Jilm could answer. He’s currently holding a few bottles for me, but they were purchased at retail price.

Retail is high $60s, but BoozApp says $75 is a fair price.

That one is different from ours. We got this one:

I would say buy. I know I would if I saw it.

 

[Billy Baroo]

That’s the answer I figured I’d hear! Thanks for giving me extra justification lol

You guys are lucky to have ET BiB and Coopers' craft by you - i took a short trip this past week through NY, NH, VT, and MA, stopping all along the way and didn't see either with the exception of one place; pretty much a museum there with their prices. ET BiB was $50

Oh yeah. Hahahaha.

Then buy all day @Billy Baroo. 127 proof sounds fantastic.

I’ll be at the store 5 minutes before it opens tomorrow! I just wasn’t sure on the price. SC is a price gouging state. Everything I like that I saw seemed to be 15-20% more than what I pay in NC.

Different Early Times...the one we all crave is the ET BiB liters.

A little over 4 oz per day, nice!

 

[Billy Baroo]

Grandpa used to drink two shots of wild turkey every day for as long as I could remember...slammed one before heading out to work in the morning and sipped on one after dinner. Never more, never less lol

 

[Big Jilm]

I forgot to add ET BiB to my bottom shelf list!

 

[Big Jilm]

Easy fix! Plus, added the WTRB rye!

 

[Klobberer]

I grabbed 2 ET BiB liters in Bardstown for $26 each when I was doing distillery tours a couple weeks ago.

 

[Klobberer]

Never even thought to ask...are there any PCFers in the Louisville/Frankfort/Bardstown area?

 

[Indyscammer]

Plentiful here in Tahoe.

What is it with the final third of Stagg Jr bottles? It happened with my 14 and now it is happening with my 15. They get AMAZING toward the end of the bottle! I have one more 15 plus another 14 on the way. I am not sure which one I like more, they are both fantastic. I just wish that that final third experience was what you get throughout the bottle....

I’ll buy the first 2/3s of every bottle from you. Problem solved.
