    That Wilderness Trail shirt is incredible

      Went to their merch shop hoping to find it, then searched it up and found Wilderness Trail. I'm totally picking one up. I love it.

    My neighbor is a “Friend of the Trace” and invited me to go with him to a barrel pick of Eagle Rare. They bottled it a few months later and I bought a bottle. It’s probably the best bourbon I’ve ever had. It is head and shoulders above and beyond the normal Eagle Rare. My second favorite was Stagg Jr. -pure brown sugar.

    • @philipwatson9666

      The Stagg Jr is my wife's favorite as well. It brings so much to the table (probably the proof helps as well), but agreed delicious

    The saying you don't know what you've got until it's gone definitely applies to me. The local grocery store would routinely have their eagle rare store pick for $30 and would put them on sale for $25 around Mardi Gras. Now I can't find a normal eagle rare

    There are currently 10 different Buffalo Trace products in my collection with Elmer T and Antique 107 being the two most recent. If I absolutely had to classify top to bottom (not an easy task by any means) From the top down it would look something like this. Elmer T Lee, Weller 12, Weller Antique 107, Eagle Rare, E.H. Taylor (Small Batch), Blanton's (Single Barrel), Weller Special Reserve, Buffalo Trace, Kosher Wheat Recipe, Benchmark (Single Barrel). In reality, from the Elmer to the Taylor, those are all hard to put one in front of the other as they are all so good.

    Once got a sample of George T. Stagg and Eagle Rare 17. Those were celestial.

  • @kjberry84
    @kjberry84 ปีที่แล้ว

    Love that wilderness trail shirt! Favorite BT products I've had (so far): 21 THH, Stagg jr batch 14. Honorable mention OWA store pick (beat 21 old rip head to head blind) and a southern Illinois baby saz pick.

    EH Taylor single barrel followed very very closely by a Eagle Rare store pick.

  • @ejbsee6081
    @ejbsee6081 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    Easy- EH Taylor barrel proof. A selection I used to find on a regular basis at or near retail. That ended 5 years ago

  • @dustinmray

    Buffalo Trace regular is my favorite!

    EH Taylor Barrel Proof (hope to find one), had a pour and loved it, also Weller 107, so good!!! Get a pour every time I see it

  • @XANDERXARA
    @XANDERXARA ปีที่แล้ว

    Great video! Stagg Jr is my favorite so far!

  • @jeffrey7524
    @jeffrey7524 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    My favorite has always been Elmer T Lee but I pretty much love them all, especially the EH Taylor line.

  • @murrayb29
    @murrayb29 ปีที่แล้ว

    Happy thanksgiving BJs! Favorite BT is Stagg store pick, and Blantons sftb.

  • @primaltone
    @primaltone ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I have never had any of the high end coveted versions so for me it is EH Taylor small batch

  • @Chevygang23LT
    @Chevygang23LT ปีที่แล้ว +2

    My favorite buffalo trace product that I have actually tried is eagle rare. I’m waiting for a store in my area to get some E.H Taylor small batch in!

  • @herigonz0125
    @herigonz0125 ปีที่แล้ว

    WLW is probably my favorite Buffalo Trace product, but really I have found all of their main lineup to be great. I've never had a bad pour of Blantons and would say that was easily my favorite for years. More recently, was shocked at how much I have really oved the Buffalo Trace Kosher Rye. Delicious!

  • @gordonross1922
    @gordonross1922 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    My favorite BT product that I have tried so far is EHT BP (my bottle). One caveat: the only BTAC I have tasted is GTS 2019 (friend's bottle), but I think I liked the EHT BP better from what I recall.

  • @stevefromchicago8277
    @stevefromchicago8277 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    I usually learn nothing but it is still fun to watch. Can’t wait for Advent!

  • @VinegarAndSaltedFries
    @VinegarAndSaltedFries ปีที่แล้ว

    Favorite was a Store Barrel pick of Eagle Rare. A lot of times I get a slight harshness in the midpallete of Eagle Rare bottles but this one didn’t have that. It was just that lovely creamy all the way thru.

  • @blove932
    @blove932 ปีที่แล้ว

  • @LeeHanyoPhoto
    @LeeHanyoPhoto ปีที่แล้ว

    Best BT product I've ever had was a pour of GTS 2019 at Whiskey Row in Salt Lake City. Probably the best pour of bourbon I've ever had too, it was amazing.

  • @Sea-Jay
    @Sea-Jay ปีที่แล้ว

    Favorite I’ve tried: ER17. Favorite I’ve owned: Stagg Jr b12. Happy Thanksgiving!

  • @dakotatheplumber1287
    @dakotatheplumber1287 ปีที่แล้ว

    I'm new to the whiskey scene and have only had 2 fingers of Buffalo Trace at a bar a month ago. Enjoyed it. My town had zero Buffalo Trace products. Had to shop around in a neighboring city before I found any. Picked up a bottle of Buffalo Trace and Eagle Rare. Cost was $50 for Trace and $100 for Rare. Central Missouri prices suck.

  • @LeatherDaddy97
    @LeatherDaddy97 ปีที่แล้ว +10

    Interesting that sean said what he likes about buffalo trace is the oak and the finish. My most common personal complaint about buffalo trace products is their lack of flavor and lack of a finish. Goes to show just how different people will get different experiences from whiskies.

  • @jpclaridge28
    @jpclaridge28 ปีที่แล้ว

    EH Taylor SB is my favorite. I think your order is spot on.

  • @TheSlowoldman
    @TheSlowoldman ปีที่แล้ว

    My favorite BT product I've ever had is WLW..... sublime. I am also a huge fan of EHT barrel proof.

  • @johnmorgan233
    @johnmorgan233 ปีที่แล้ว

    favorite was eh taylor barrel proof (at a bar, never seen a bottle for purchase) and a close second was a 2009 stagg

  • @HughJaynus42069
    @HughJaynus42069 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    GTS 2019 best BT product I've ever tasted. EHT SiB close second but love me some ETL as well. Never had Rock Hill but willing to try

  • @markgiffin5938
    @markgiffin5938 ปีที่แล้ว

    Favorite BT product I have actually tried: EH Taylor BP and it’s probably my all time favorite juice I have ever had.

  • @mjolnir9855
    @mjolnir9855 8 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Fav Buffalo trace product is Wellers, absolutely. Special reserve is the normal go-to, but Antieque 101....chef kiss!

  • @jthomas0298
    @jthomas0298 ปีที่แล้ว

    My favorite is my EH Taylor BP 130.2 Batch 9

  • @scottschemahorn7151
    @scottschemahorn7151 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    EH Taylor Small Batch is my favorite BT product I've tasted. But I also have an Eagle Rare Store Pick that is freaking outstanding.

  • @jaredtaylor7777
    @jaredtaylor7777 ปีที่แล้ว

    Favorite bottles of BT I’ve had have been batches of all the hitters that we all chase, GTSs Jrs and EH Taylor barrel proofs.
    Of the non LEs, it’s been certain bottles of eagle rare, but some are stinkers too!
    For what I’ve paid trying to acquire mashbill 2 bottles, I’ll stick to Col taylor when I can find it at retail. Always solid.

  • @speedyspower21

  • @brentross9233
    @brentross9233 ปีที่แล้ว

    EHT Rye is probably my favorite Buffalo Trace I've had, from the standard line. I think EHT Barrel Proof would be my favorite, but never had it.
    My favorite BTAC is Thomas Handy.

  • @ryandees6044

  • @richlira7873
    @richlira7873 ปีที่แล้ว

    Favorite BT product is probably an EHT product and I'm leaning towards this SiB pick I got from a bar. EHT BP is a close second.

  • @sapefley
    @sapefley ปีที่แล้ว

    Favorite BT product that I've had the opportunity to taste is between Stagg Jr and Tom Handy. I'd love to try more of the BTAC line.

  • @taylorharkey7442
    @taylorharkey7442 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Neither are anything special from what I’ve had. But if I had to pick one I’d go mashbill 1. I’ve had a store pick BT that heavily tops the scale in mashbill 1’s favor though.

  • @greircrabtree6940
    @greircrabtree6940 ปีที่แล้ว

  • @danielevans1973
    @danielevans1973 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I've never had Rock Hill but I have had the others you blinded today. In addition the BT I've tried Pappy 15, Old rip Van winkle 10, EH Taylor barrel proof, EH small Batch, eagle rare, reg BT, Weller special reserve, Weller 107, (Wow do I have a drinking problem), benchmark ful proof, Blanton's, Stagg (Jr) and drum roll please....................... EH Taylor Barrel proof was my favorite.

  • @gatordave551
    @gatordave551 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    The best I ever had so far was a 2018 William Larue Weller. I may never get a better one but I will keep tasting all the bourbon just in case :)

  • @Vonnegut40
    @Vonnegut40 ปีที่แล้ว

    William Larue Weller, which I found just once at an affordable price in Venice Beach, was the most delicious BT whiskey I've tasted. Below that I like Stagg Jr and EH Taylor Small Batch, but I've never had Elmer, or Rockhill.

  • @chasecraig4280

  • @darinmartin9721

  • @adoyleBU
    @adoyleBU ปีที่แล้ว

    Best BT product I've ever tasted was probably '20 WLW (it's really 1A and 1B with PVW15).
    Non-BTAC/VW edition: Stagg Jr. store pick. Would love to put it up against GTS it was that good.

  • @barryfoster8311
    @barryfoster8311 ปีที่แล้ว

    My absolute favorite Buffalo Trace whiskey is GTS. After that would be the EHT bourbons, not the rye. Have really enjoyed all of the EHT bourbons. Some more than others but all excellent.

  • @stuffandwhiskey
    @stuffandwhiskey ปีที่แล้ว

    Favorite ever? 2018 WLW based on what we’ve tried, Stagg Jr Batch 16 for tbat next tier down, and Eagle Rare for their more regular offerings. Mashbill 1 > 2 for us, but that said, Buffalo Trace isn’t in our Top 3 distilleries. Too sweet and not spicy enough for us.

    My favorite bottle I've ever had was a hazmat GTS, can't tell you which batch but it's what honestly got me into whiskey. Went into a liquor store right after trying it and asked them if they had any and got a rude awakening to the world of allocation, employee laughed me out the store and I had no idea why

    @dylanterrio6530 ปีที่แล้ว

    Sazerac 18 from 2007 / gts from 2016 144 proof I think were the best follow ups , William weller , eh barrel proof , pappy 15 were top anything else is good for retail , biggest let down weller single barrel and cypb for sure

    @allanhoppe1521 ปีที่แล้ว
