zillah Posted July 24, 2013 Share Posted July 24, 2013 Per the Whiskey Tree, Stagg and CEHT are the same mashbill and if they are both barrel proof the only difference will be age?I thought CEHT was a different warehouse. Also a higher rack. Not sure though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
squire Posted July 24, 2013 Share Posted July 24, 2013 BT has five mashbills, one for rye, one for wheated Bourbon and three for traditional Bourbon. Presumably CEHT is one of the three but with different warehouse(s), selected barrels and Master Blenders I expect it will be it's own thing.

TunnelTiger Posted July 24, 2013 Share Posted July 24, 2013 Another for vote for a higher rack, larger too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

squire Posted July 24, 2013 Share Posted July 24, 2013 According to Harlen there are three, low, medium and high rye. Of course he's including Barton. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

squire Posted July 24, 2013 Share Posted July 24, 2013 I don't think he stumbled over that, he specifically mentioned the Barton recipe as the high rye mashbill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh Posted July 24, 2013 Share Posted July 24, 2013 I don't think he stumbled over that, he specifically mentioned the Barton recipe as the high rye mashbill.That whole thing was highly confused and confusing. The information I have would indicate that Barton is not actually high rye by most standards. Also, Barton-1792 has at least two bourbon recipes in production the one for Barton (& probably Ten High) and the one for 1792 (& possibly Kentucky Tavern). Why did he just randomly throw in the Barton mashbill in with the ones made at BT? It makes no sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
squire Posted July 24, 2013 Share Posted July 24, 2013 Donno, but I agree regular Barton is not a really high rye recipe, just rye forward due to the way they make it. As for the rest I must presume the Head Distiller is knowledgeable about what mashbills they have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Josh Posted July 25, 2013 Share Posted July 25, 2013 Yeah, the timing is consistent with the rumored next release of ECBP, right? So, will we need to camp out in front of liquor stores waiting for it to show up (sort of like the day after Thanksgiving sales) only to find that there is only an allotment of a bottle or two per store? I guess I will have to make daily trips to the liquor store until one or the other shows up. That will get the neighbors talking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Restaurant man Posted July 25, 2013 Share Posted July 25, 2013 The press release says "Bottles of Stagg Jr. will be limited, but several batches each year are planned." Doesn't sound like it should be too hard to find. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

doubleblank Posted July 25, 2013 Author Share Posted July 25, 2013 I'm not going to re-read every post about price, but this looks to be below most specuations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zillah Posted July 25, 2013 Share Posted July 25, 2013 Below most speculations yes, which is nice. But at $40 for the ECBP which is also older, this just seems like barrel strength BT. I suppose 2x the price makes sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zillah Posted July 25, 2013 Share Posted July 25, 2013 I also wished they kept the ER/BTAC bottles for this. I really hate these stubby bottles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
