They just flooded Ohio with these today, I copped 2 SFTB and 1 Gold this morning. Cant wait!!
I'm not being a naysayer but despite no Blanton's ever impressing me, the Gold's have been the best proof point for them IMO. It's also ridiculously overpriced for 10 proof points more than the standard.
Got my 1st SFTB about 2wks ago, and i absolutely love it. It’s thick, finish forever. Honey, caramel, french toast. 124.9 proof of goodness. Happily would drop another 150 for another.
How’d you get STFB for only 150?!?
@@tobiaspiering there’s a few local grocery store chains in my area and i became buddies with a few managers. I grocery shop at the ones that hook me up.
@@tobiaspieringI paid 160 here in Cleveland Ohio about 3 weeks ago.
A year or so ago, I got a very rare opportunity (in my area) to try a number of unicorns. Blanton’s SFTB came very close to last for me. The top three were well beyond the last two. The last two nearly tied for me and didn’t wow me.
1. Stagg Jr..
2. E H Taylor Barrel Proof
3. Four Roses LE
4. Blanton’s SFTB
5. Pappy Van Winkle Family Reserve 15
I definitely love the STFB Blantons, I also really like the gold right behind it. Not a huge fan of the rest of the plans lineup.
These two are the two I like
Great review - appreciate the no nonsense approach and honest takes on the pours you are trying. Continue to love the content. Do you guys have a Patreon / discord by any chance?
As of right now we don't but we do plan on it here very soon.
Love SFTB. It has beaten most Stagg Jrs in a couple blinds for me.
Hey yo my bud that’s awesome that you gave Evan Williams single barrel a hit on a buffalo trace product thank you
Have the Brown, Green and Gold label. Having always had the Green in Australia I was desperate to get the others. Luckily they came in at a reasonable price and boy was I disappointed. The usual brown single barrel private reserve was poor. Couldn't believe people were always chasing it over there. The Gold was better but for the price... I know the Green is not available in the USA but (as a beginner) it was the "perfect" bourbon for us. Smooth and subtle but touching all the notes that go into a great bourbon... BUT the BALANCE. Probably too low a proof now to impact us the same way, but always on my shelf.
Great vid. I appreciate that you tell us where you picked up the bottles.
Glad to help. Sometimes we don't because the store doesn't want us to say but if they are cool with always happy to send business to that store.
I got a 134.4 proof bottle of this yesterday. Excite to pop this open!
Maybe I got a bad Gold, but it lost in my blind to regular Blantons and a store pick Blantons... by a lot. I thought SFTB was delicious though.
Just missed out on getting one at my local drop. Not a Blanton's Fan other than SFTB.
Good reviews, i have been meaning to try this one.
Haven't had this or Gold but that price tag is crazy
Gold IMO is the best proof point for Blanton's, which isn't saying much, but the price hike for those 10 extra proof points is unjustifiable.
Man, I had SFTB once and I loved it
wow
Total Wine recently had a tater bottle event, and I picked up one of these without even having to wait in a line. I was on the fence about getting it. There was a 22-year-old Trinidad rum that I was really excited about and was a similar price. I ended up blowing the money and getting both of them, but if I could have only bought one, I would have taken the rum. Blanton's is good, but it doesn't tend to perform well when compared against other bourbons. The standard version and the Gold have never really impressed me, but I find SFTB to be helped by the added concentration. I like a bit of oak tannin, and there is just enough in this bottle to give it more complexity than Blanton's usually has. Adding a small drop of cold water brings out some flavor and causes it to cloud up a little. This is a good bottle of bourbon, but the price is a bit high for what it has to offer. When I tasted it side by side with the rum, they complemented each other. Maybe Blanton's comes into its own when paired with something else, either another spirit or food.
Backward cap fashion statement is back!! Forgot about the bourbon review angle. LOL
for me it is I cant wear it forward for videos and i needed a haircut. So if you see a hat or a beanie on my head its because my hair is out of control. hahaha
Agreed 100%. There is a reason Blanton’s Gold is gold. I think they are putting the best Blanton’s barrels into the gold. I’ve never had a bad one.
On SFTB, I’ve had some good ones. People will tell you that >130 proof is better. I don’t think so. But the thing about SFTB is that it doesn’t taste like Blanton’s to me. It is typically missing that orange marmalade note that I find on great Blanton’s. Tack on the fact that it drinks hot… and I drink high proof stuff… I tend not to gravitate towards SFTB at bottle shares and I certainly don’t pursue it.
So THATS where all the LB springhust allocations go… lol
Like all Blanton’s, sounds like it’s not worth the price tag.
Disagree here but generally love the content
Just another bourbon channel circle jerking the Blantons 😅
Hyper critical review. I dare you to place this in a blind vs comparably priced bourbon. I think your opinions would not hold up. Gold? Really?
Well the price of this isn't cheap so that point might be a little more difficult. What about if we did a blind with SFTB vs Stagg vs EHTBP. All comes from BT and all are around the same proof.
Sounds good. Make it so…
You guys must have gotten a bad bottle. My favorite bourbon of my 100 bottles
Don't earth than 40$
Blah blah blah Blantons
Boooooooring
Cry baby. Grow tf up.
