It was definitely worth the drive from Sierra Vista. Thanks for taking the time to chat and posing for the photo with the baby Blanton's!
Great time! It was so cool to meet you again buddy! Thanks again, cheers 🥃
Great haul!
Cheers buddy thanks for watching 🥃
Great bottle haul! I just recently tried the regular JB Rye and I’ll tell you that bottle is really good! My rep sampled me on it and I couldn’t stop going back for it! Very good!
I will have to try it again. I haven't had it in like 5+ years. Likely, that was the first rye I ever had.
Cheers buddy thanks for watching 🥃
@@yourdrinkingbuddy next time you’re in, I’ll give you a pour. It’s 80 proof and I really enjoyed it! Easy drinking. It’s one of those daily drinkers
@@marcot9065 weird! It used to be 90!
@@yourdrinkingbuddy Really? The prohibition rye is 90. Maybe you’re thinking of that one?
Holy crap! Brain overload! You cleaned up! Good job. I am proud you are sharing the bounty with others.
Thank you for this!
Cheers buddy thanks for watching 🥃
A tater after my own heart.
I am potato.
Cheers buddy thanks for watching 🥃
Don't feel bad about that haul. You drink it, review it, and share it. Although I'm a bit jealous, I'm happy for you lol
It has been an insane summer. I cant quite quantify how much I have been able to land. I hope you land the same buddy!
Cheers and thanks for everything 🥃
Hey I gave away a 23b to a guy who hadn't had Stagg yet! So that's why we buy extra to pass it on the folks who want to drink it not flip it. Cheers to you YDB 👊
Agreed! And that is the way I feel too!
Cheers buddy thanks for watching 🥃
Same! I bought a 23b for a neighbor who had been looking for years. Pass it on - no flipping! Cheers!
Would love to see a table of Stagg like you described. Solid haul.
@@gregcarley8640 crazy. 5 batches 212 bottles up for grabs. Never seen anything like it honestly.
Cheers buddy thanks for watching 🥃
Redbreast 27 is crazy expensive, but it's probably the best whiskey I've ever tasted. Absolutely incredible depth & flavor.
@dneuens it is seriously amazing. Not worth the $800 frys had it for... or the INSANE $1300 total wine wants for it!
Cheers buddy thanks for watching 🥃
@@yourdrinkingbuddy 100%. I think cheapest I've ever seen online is 500-600. Even that is hard to justify but goddamn if I haven't scoured the internet every now and again hoping to find the deal of a lifetime.
I went to the events in Casa Grande, and Gilbert. I ended up with 2 Stagg, Blantons Gold, Blantons, Elmer T lee, Weller 12, Weller SR, EH Taylor Single Barrel, 2 EH Taylor small batch, Eagle rare, 2 Old Forester SB Frys picks, 3 mini Blantons, and a Caribou crossing SB.
The total price came to: $Dont tell my wife
Great haul buddy!
How crazy was Gilbert? It is usually the busiest but I heard Camelback took the cake this year with pure insanity.
Cheers buddy thanks for watching 🥃
@@yourdrinkingbuddy Gilbert had at least 450-500 people, possibly more. I got there way later than I planned, and ended up around 200-220. Casa Grande had about 150-200 people, and a lot of people made multiple passes. I went through three times and there were still quite a few bottles available.
It was super awesome to meet you and start following this channel. You have a wealth of knowledge. Hope to run into you again at another event.
@@ArizonaPremierGolfRealEstate oh man, who do I have here?
Cheers buddy thanks for watching 🥃
@@yourdrinkingbuddysorry this is my channel name and not real name. I was the young guy a couple people ahead of you in line in Tucson. Sean is my name
@@ArizonaPremierGolfRealEstate ok, awesome! Nice to meet you and hang out!
You'd be silly to not stock up when presented with that opportunity! You know the scalpers are going to be there anyways! Might as well get yours and know it's not being fed into secondary at a massive profit for them. Think about it. You could probably guesstimate 20-30% flippers being there. That's what? 120 or more bottles that could have been spread around? With most of that being Stagg and EHT SiB, give or take?
I would keep that Stagg, you deserve it! You can give away what you want, but for this instance, give yourself a pat on the back and keep this haul? Maybe just share it?
@MetaPrometheus thank you for this. I try and share every chance I get.
Cheers buddy thanks for watching 🥃
Great haul buddy and great seeing you there.
@JimMatthews-nr6xc same buddy! Need to do a blind soon. I am thirsty!
Cheers buddy thanks for watching 🥃
I'm traveling to AZ this weekend. Where should I go for the best available store picks?
@@darinbembury Pheonix?
I need to try that Jim Beam Repeal, I was actually quite impressed with the newish Black label 7yr (and I'm a sucker for decent cheap whiskey). Dang stupid good bottle haul!!! Thanks for the video.
@@garystielow232 I live in michigan and have only seen one ever, I believe that the Repeal Batch is now discontinued . Not bad for $19.99 Hopefully you find one 😉 👍 Cheers
I think it may be discontinued everywhere unfortunately...
Cheers buddy thanks for watching 🥃
Drat, you are both correct, discontinued. Must be why secondary market sellers are asking $100 for it (crazy, I won't be doing that)
@@garystielow232 🤯
Hoping to score a Stagg some day out here in the Iowa. Allocated is tough in my state. Crazy score, cheers!!
@mmarek24 i hope you get one too buddy!
Cheers buddy thanks for watching 🥃
Crazy there was that much Stagg... Id be stocking up as well so no hate :D
Hard not too! Just something you have to do when you see it. I will spread it around too.
Cheers buddy thanks for watching 🥃
For the life of me I don't understand what these distilleries have against michigan, we never see gems like those or even low price stuff like Early Times bib. I have a relative bring me what I want from Kentucky a few times a year though 😉. A great haul! Cheers 👍 🥃
@@thomasanderson2870 you can even get ET bib!? Wowza.
I am sorry it is so hard.
Cheers buddy thanks for watching 🥃
It’s not just Michigan, we don’t get any of this in Indiana either. I’ve never seen a Stagg for sale.
That JB Repeal batch is getting hard to find anymore, not bad for the price. I have mixed it in equal parts with JB black 7 and Old Tub with tasty results 😋. One of my many Concoctions 😬
I am not sure I have seen it ever, but I am very glad to have tried it. I will have to try that blend.
Cheers buddy thanks for watching 🥃
Should always back up your favorite bottles if you get a chance to
I usually dont because I am investing in a bottle I already reviewed, so I have a very different pov on this than someone that doesn't review whiskey lol.
Cheers buddy thanks for watching 🥃
Wish we had Fry's here in Texas. Awesome haul!
I think the closest you guys get has to be the Specs events, but these Frys ones have so much more.
Cheers buddy thanks for everything 🥃
@@yourdrinkingbuddy Yes Specs is def the closest. If you are in Texas around Christmas/New Years, Specs has been doing a yearly massive drop around Dec 29th or so. Multiple barrels worth of picks of WFP, W107, Stagg, ER, EHT, Blantons Gold, and so much more. We typically leave with like 5-10 great bottles.
Its pretty nuts, they will have 100s of bottles of everything and you get to walk through and add 1 of everything you want to your basket with a few exceptions. You usually can only pick one of either the WFP or W107 and such.
So if you visit Texas for the holidays keep that in mind. They only do one location in Austin, Houston, and Dallas though to consolidate all the inventory, so a lot of people camp out.
No hate for getting what you can when you can, but my god, you definitely are letting everyone know what your “Petronis Charm” is, lol. I had a decent week last week, 1792 12 yr, CYPB, Blantons gold store pick, and an OF 1910 for my daily sippin needed replacement. So cheers DB
@@zoolander221 nice haul! I have already added some more cool stuff myself. Wild summer. Can't quite believe it. Arizona has been insane. I have some buddies that got stagg that dont even hunt. It is everywhere in AZ.
Cheers buddy thanks for watching 🥃
No hate...just green envy😊
Understandable! Hopefully you land some good stuff.
Cheers buddy thanks for watching 🥃
Tbf you’d be helping out the local community by just leaving it on the table…
@@johnwill7962 Likely chance it goes to a flipper though.
Cheers buddy thanks for watching 🥃
You don’t know that though. Could’ve been somebody in the back that’s been wanting it that got cut off because of it.
@@johnwill7962 when I got back in line, everyone had already been through once. Everyone that was there had a chance at it.
Nice haul. I know you said that you don't want to get into "politics " but it's very strange that Arizona gets all that Stagg and many other states get nothing. The distributor-Breakthru- clearly is doing things strange. I work in the industry and interact with them every week and their story on allocations changes almost every time, just makes a person wonder ...
I definitely think this is pary of the issue for sure.
Cheers buddy thanks for watching 🥃
If i could only get some taters.😢
I hope you can buddy cheers buddy thanks for watching 🥃
I missed the event because i woke up at 9 am and its 45 minutes from my house But I was able to get an EH Taylor at Safeway the Friday after. I still haven’t found Stagg
Good to hear you got some Taylor! I hope you find some Stagg!
Cheers buddy thanks for watching 🥃
