"Universally seen by me, personally..." is a new favorite line.
I cracked up
I didn’t truly get into bourbon until about 2.5 years ago. And right off the bat I stumbled across two 15s and later a 16 at $59.99. I thought that was normal. Apparently not. But 16 to me still reigns supreme between 15-18. That’s all I’ve been able to try.
I love, love, love Stagg Jr. I've had batches 7 through 17. Batch 9 has always been my favorite. I've heard people say that they blinded it against 2018 GTS and it won. I've never been able to do that experiment, tho..
I don't think it would beat 18 GTS for me but def 2019. Stagg batch 9 was great. Had a couple of them. 15 has been my fave tho! And I've had batch 12. That sweetness nailed it for me.
Really happy watching this review as this is my first time finding Stagg and I found 3 of the 19’s this past week in 3 different stores all at msrp.
Damn that’s a find!
Just got one for $53 in NC, just FYI. I can't wait to pop the top on this one. It's the first Stagg I've ever acquired for myself. I've sampled batch 18, and enjoyed it, but wasn't blown away like I was hoping I would be, so I'm happy to hear your positive review of this batch. Thanks for the info and comparisons!
If I could belly up to a table with three Staggs I don’t think I would ever leave. I am a HUGE fan of Stagg. Well done, Jason! #M&JArmy
Stumbled on a Stagg today at Total Wine for $59. They had Blantons, WH Taylor...a bunch of hard to get just sitting on a table...one per customer unfortunately. It does NOT have a batch ID on it however so no idea what it is
Batch 15 has been my favorite to date, but I've only tried 8, 13, 15 and 18. It has the same candied flavor that I sometimes get with Old Carter American...which is almost harder to find than Stagg. OCA is probably my favorite whiskey right now. Batch 10 is 🔥🔥🔥
I finally found an 18 a few months back, but I honestly did not like it at all. I blinded it, and it got last, even against something I didn't like. I just found a 22a(which I read on redit was a small batch from May of last year?). The coding system is confusing me, since 22b came out a while ago, but I am sure someone will educate me at some point. It'd be great if you were able to review a 22a!
Everything coming out of BT the last 6mos is this soft, lemony, vanilla, very light oak. I've had it in BT SP's and EHT BP . This sounds the same...not bad or good in my view, just seems like something in the ingredients, weather/aging, etc.
I've been really lucky to have tried a few different batches, and my favorites so far are 12 and 16. Cheers!
I've only had batches 14, 15 and 16. 15 was my favorite... great from the neck pour! My cousin snagged me a batch 18, just haven't tried it yet. Cheers!
My girlfriend gave me a Stagg Batch 22B for my birthday yesterday. I’m even more excited to try it after watching this review! I’ve tried batch 15 and 16…and also have an unopened 18 at home. Batch 15 has been my favorite so far… which also happens to be the first bottle of Stagg Jr. I was ever able to get my hands on.
Just got my first btl of stagg. $62.99 batch 23a. It's awesome so happy I finally got to try it
Haven’t even heard of batch 18 in California and we’re already on to 19.
Another great review! I just lucked into batch 19 today for $52+tax in VA (state ran ABC). Pulled 18 a few months back for the same price. This crazy start to the year and wanted to share. I’ll be comparing 18 & 19 this weekend!
@The Mash and Drum , Jason, what can you tell me about Stagg Batch 22A? Yes, I meant to type that and yes it is an accurate Batch ID.... I can't find any information on it. Thanks in advance!
My fav so far, and I’ve had B14-B18, B15 is head and shoulders above the rest. B14 was an ethanol bomb for me. All of the bottles were fresh pop neck pours as well.
Was literally forwarding this on IG (while listening on YT) to my buddies and just after I wrote "Unicorn tears"...exactly when you said it. I happen to be a bassist, finally a drummer I'm in sync with 🤣
Hopefully I get mine Monday... and I can't wait!! Batch 18 was meh, but I'm super excited for batch 19-22B LOL Cheers Jason and Keep rocking 🥃
Love the show Jason. Popped open two different Redwood Empire's for a First night pour. Light on the proof but love the flavor. Hope people don't sleep on this distillery. Cheers!! Have great weekend!!
Just picked up one of these at a Kroger this morning for 53.99. Can't wait to open it with some friends. Hoping it's as amazing as it sounds
I just wish I could get a bottle of this. People who can find this are absolutely lucky. Something I'll probably never get to try. This and the E.H. Taylor
I’ve tried batches 10,13,14,15,16,17. 15 has been the standout for me. Doubt I will get my hands on this but I will definitely be on the lookout
Glad they added the batch identification, wont have to have my wife make me labels on her cricut anymore! Great video Jason
Cool review on batch 19 I have not seen 18 or 18 anywhere in my area. Batch 12 and 15 are good batches. I just released my first Stagg jr review, we are comparing all batches 1-17 to get a winner. I would now like to compare the winner to batch 18 and 19. thanks for such a great review. cheers.
15 is my favorite
I’ve tried 12 and 15 in a bar. And won a bottle of 16 in a lottery. I wasn’t crazy about 12. 15 was amazing. 16 I like as well but it may have been beat by 15 for me. Can’t say for sure because I couldn’t A-B or blind them.
I also won a Stagg barrel pick but haven’t cracked it yet.
I just scored this 22b at a local point redemption day for $50. My 1st stagg of any kind. Really damn good. Not as hot as i was expecting from what ppl always say and from the 130prf. Wish it was more widely available, but doesnt everyone.
Had 12,13 and 15 and 15 is my favorite. Hope to get a 19 🙏
my favorite has been 14, 18 and 19.. 14 is #1 for me
16>12>11. 15 is actually my least fav but mine isnt sweet, it comes off very harshly Oaky... makes me wonder if i have an off bottle?
that's weird. I've wondered that before too. I had an EHT SmB that was funky in a bad way. Maybe cork taint? or some sort of bacteria or whatnot got in there??
Wowza, batch 18 was here a few weeks ago after almost a year since 17…and now 19 is out? Thanks for the review!🥃
usually comes out twice a year
I’ve only had batch 15 and now I’m eager to try and find 19
agreed
I've only ever tasted batches 14, 15, 16, and 18. Out of those 15 was my favorite.
Grabbed one at a drop for 59 today! Let’s GO
I just picked up the A22 bottle today. 🦌🥃
Someday I hope I can try Batch 12, glad to have 18 and I really enjoy it.
I got this bottle today, $49.99. Only one they had at 9:00am. It’s delicious
I haven't even seen Stagg Jr/Stagg since Batch 14, unfortunately, but 12 is indeed amazing. In general for Stagg/JR, at $70 a great buy. At 200, find several other good bottles for the same total price.
Picked up Batch 18 (131 proof) for MSRP at a VA ABC allocated drop. Got lucky it was the last bottle at my store. Gotta say it didn’t disappoint. Btw, great Jordan cap!
Batch 3 Fall 2014 was my favorite from 1-13. Never had the chance to get a Batch 14 up.
Hope to find one one day. Love the reviews big Jay! Cheers brutha
Just bought one on Friday! 52 bucks in Va.
If I have the chance between this and Michters toasted BP rye, which would pick? I have not owned either bottle.
Great review! Didn’t even know this was out…. Cheers 🥃🥃
Batch 15 is my favorite, but I guess I need to get this one now.
I keep having to pause each time I hear the sample from "Friday" in the background music. Hahahah
I'll let you know what I think when I can ever get my hands on one. Cheers!
Batch 17
Woohoo, just picked up a 22B off the shelf for $80.
Although B18 is “off profile” still seems to have more complexity and depth than B19
I went in a local store today and bought a Stagg Jr for $52 . They also had Blanton's gold for $118 .
yeah👌
definitely love 15. I haven't had 12 though.
I just picked up 23a for 70 yesterday
Batch 16 for me is king, I do have a 12 and a 15 and 17 as well
Jason, have you had any store picks that can compete with batch 12?
Ive only had 1 Stagg Jr. store pick and wish I was able to compare but couldnt. I think I would have liked 12 better
I got my bottle today I haven't pop it open yet. I may wait till I get with my drinking buddies to pop it open to share.
12 is the best of the ones I have tasted aswell
Jason - any chance of a video ranking all stagg jrs you own blind?
18 has been my favorite so far, it’s complex and delicious. More akin to GTS than then rest. How did you view batch 18 verses GTS?
Got 2 bottles at a local gas station yesterday. Get this, $55 a bottle and they had a buy 1 get one half off deal going on. I almost passed out at the register.
Never see them without having to wait in line. Not worried though. I'll stick to my M&J picks.
scored a 22a for 80 today, pretty freaking stoked. Good job in the finals also man, you both killed it the whole tourney.
Is 22a after 22b?
@@z28camarobc from what I gather it was made before the B but released after. Could be wrong though.
So it’s still batch 19?
@@z28camarobc yes
Sounds like your review of ECBP B522
I passed on one at big blue liquor in lawrenceburg , but I couldn’t make myself pay $340 but if anyone looking and willing to spend they have a 6
Looking forward to your batch 20 (23a) review... please find one asap :)
Only ever had the 18, and one taste of a barrel pick from a local bar.
According to the NC state pricelist, it's $49.95 here and according to the warehouse inventory, it's supposedly in stock, but I didn't see it this week. I'll have to keep looking.
I have yet to try a stagg. I never see them and if I do it’s at redid secondary pricing. Always wanted to try this out of any BT line.
Had Stagg Batch 19 on Thursday, then had ECBP A123 next. Was surprised how much the ECBP smelled and tasted like a rye compared to the Stagg.
Peep that Nashville Barrel Company bottle behind you! Which pick is that? I'm a HUGE NBC fan.
Price 200 -300 Good review
STAGG 🔥 💯 🍻
12 was really good I also like 17 15 was good but I liked 17 more.
I lucked out and found one of these for $50 just before Christmas but I haven't opened it yet.
I just got mine in NC! 49.99
Batch 15 all the way..........lol. only bottle I've ever owned. Cheers.
I overall greatly prefer ecbp so unless i see one of these under 80, ill just buy an extra ecbp.
I don’t even bother asking for it anymore. Minimum $250 everywhere here. I always saw these as more or less equal to ECBP. I’ve still got batches 12 thru 15 and will certainly enjoy them until they are gone. Envious of all you folks that can still get it with some effort at less than $90.
In all my bourbon fishing, I just can't seem to land a STAGG lol! Been really searching harder for value bourbons so my weekly rotation is a little less expensive.
u always remember your first... for me 12.
Out of 13, 14, 15, and 16- 14 actually reigns supreme for me, followed closely by 13.
I'm willing to pay $80 that is my max. Just so much juice out there that I'm happy also buying.
Why is Stagg jr so hard to find ?
The new batch 15?? Lol. I only have batch 15 and love it
B17 but haven’t tried B12 yet
I’ve never even seen a bottle at a store
“It’s a good day when you’re drinking 3 staggs” also a day you probably won’t remember. Speaking from experience.
I paid 59 for my batch 19
12 wins blinds with me, but 14 flies way under the radar. It has been overlooked for years. The Junkies were the only ones right on this batch.
Yep, Stagg (and GTS) is basically Eagle Rare Barrel Proof.
Odd man out here, but B14 is my favorite.
Haha!! You are assuming that we can even get any Stagg. I can't find any in Nebraska without paying secondary prices. Which I don't want to do. That just makes it harder down the road. It's frustrating!!
B19 was horrible to me, and I won't be keeping a bottle in my collection. :(
Every time I find a Stagg, I try to trade it into another B17. For me, the B17 tastes like a hellbird Eagle Rare. It's a high-proof grape bomb.
Everyone has a favorite Stagg and there's no general agreement on which one is best. For me B17 is great and B19 missed the mark.
The grapey ones are delicious
How can you tell which Batch you have on the old bottles? Thanks Ron

Whats a recommend at that high 120 / 130 proof. Still in the hunt for that Stagg
Old Carter American whiskeys....older Elijah Craig Barrel Proofs (old Style bottles) and Bookers.
12 is always the best. It just is. Also, bugs the shit out of me that they just didn't make it Batch 19 lol
A place here has it for 4X msrp. The only reason I'm tempted is because it's for a charity. They just won't tell me what percent the charity gets.
Stagg. What is that? Haven't seen one.😢
