156: Barrel Proof Bourbons from Buffalo Trace Distillery

The gang's all here and we've cracked open two heavy hitting, barrel proof bourbons from Buffalo Trace Distillery. We compare two Mashbill #1 Bourbons, including Stagg Jr (Batch 13: Fall, 2019 – 128.4 proof) and EH Taylor Barrel Proof (Batch 10; 2021,  127.3 proof). These bottles have skyrocketed in secondary marketplaces and have become rare sights on store shelves, but are they worth the price?   Show Links: EH Taylor, Jr. Barrel Proof Stagg Jr. Colonel EH Taylor Jr Barrel Proof Releases Buffalo Trace Is Dropping the "Jr." from Stagg Jr. Bottles - Paste Stagg Jr. is Growing Up: Changes Coming for Batch 18 - The Bourbon Review Bourbon Pricing Is Getting Out of Control, and Only the Consumers Can Stop It - Paste Buffalo Trace Statue Image Courtesy of Buffalo Trace Distillery* We are thankful for everyone who has supported us.
