Renegator Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 Has this hit Atlanta yet? I've only seen the 134.5 proof version... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suntour Posted December 18, 2014 Share Posted December 18, 2014 I keep drinking this thinking I'll find something I'll object to. Found it: a little expensive and I didn't buy two. This one's almost gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sailor22 Posted December 18, 2014 Share Posted December 18, 2014 Found multiple bottles of this in Kentucky last week. A damn good pour, and given todays prices not too far out of line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jvd99 Posted December 19, 2014 Share Posted December 19, 2014 I really like the CEHT1B but after thinking about it, I've never tried the BP. If Mrs. Jvd99 sticks with tradition, I'll get a nice gift card for my go-to shop for Christmas and I'll pick one up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Mrs. Jvd99 sticks with tradition, I'll get a nice gift card for my go-to shop for Christmas and I'll pick one up.If you like the single barrel and don't mind the higher proof, you'll like the barrel proof. I initially thought it was way too hot, but letting the glass sit for 10 minutes allowed it to really show its merits. Granted, it's still strong and rather hot, but you get that really spicy, strong flavor profile of the single barrel, just more intense. It seems closer to George T. Stagg than Stagg Jr., at least to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pudsky Posted December 26, 2014 Share Posted December 26, 2014 I've had a couple bottles of the first batch I believe, and it is something I really, really enjoy. If I see it in the wild I will buy more. I love the woody, earthy flavor. Tastes much lighter than it actually is. Sweet and it tastes like dirt. Very high on my list of great bourbons!

awachatz Posted December 29, 2014 Share Posted December 29, 2014 Been searching all over Michigan, with no luck. Still can't find a bottle. It is discouraging on how difficult it is to fine anything work drinking anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigmzungu Posted January 4, 2015 Share Posted January 4, 2015 Just opened mine (129 pf). Wow! It's the best first pour from a bottle I can remember and it is definitely one of, if not the top bottle I picked up in 2014. I debated for a while before I picked it up a few months ago and I'm really glad I pulled the trigger. I haven't seen it again since, but if I do, I will definitely grab more!

kjbeggs Posted January 5, 2015 Author Share Posted January 5, 2015 OK, it's got some heat, but the flavor is so intense, it cuts right through the heat.My throat is pretty sore from yelling for almost 4 hours straight at cowboys Stadium, but this is numbing it up quite nicely.Going to give the rest of the pour a few minutes to air out and see where it goes.Very nice, so far.

awachatz Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 Raising a glass to you Awachatz!24-20 COWBOYS! (Hell of a game!) Have to admit, that the Cowboys deserved to win. Hopefully they can kick Green Bay's butt as well. Now that my lowly Lions have been eliminated, I will need to wait for Michigan football for any football enjoyment.I will raise a glass back at you KJ once you guys beat the packers!

gusto16 Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 I just opened my 135.4 proofer last night and found it highly enjoyable. I believe that whoever refers to this as the "real Stagg Jr" is spot on. Don't know when I'll be opening the 129er yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
youngmc Posted April 4, 2015 Share Posted April 4, 2015 Just a quick question. Does anyone know if the EHTBP is a single barrel or batch? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dSculptor Posted April 4, 2015 Share Posted April 4, 2015 Hey need some help, if anyone has a empty bottle of the 129 proof that they are tossing, can you try and get the label off and take a picture of it flat (with the tabs)and send it to me or post it, I need it for my 50 ml collection, also need the SmB, and the rye. Thanks guys! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mountaineervol Posted May 14, 2015 Share Posted May 14, 2015 Took a tour at Buffalo Trace yesterday and went through the bottling line at the end. They were bottling EH Taylor Barrel Proof (which happens to be my favorite) and it looks like this year's batch will be at 127.2 proof. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bourbonfoot Posted May 14, 2015 Share Posted May 14, 2015 I got a bottle of this a few weeks ago after I returned from Lexington. I had a few buddies over to pick up the bottles I had purchased for them and to have a few drinks. One of them brought over his Cured Oak and I think I prefer this over that to be honest. Full disclosure I'm big on barrel proofers. Wonder if anybody else had the same conclusion? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
