OscarV Posted July 29, 2013 Share Posted July 29, 2013 Stagg has definitley slipped over the last couple of years (I am currently using my 2012 bottle to make BBQ glazes) and I would have already been inclined to call it Jr. Don't you think this new release should have been called Stagg Jr Jr?

PaulO Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 It's been several years since I've seen a Stagg sitting on a store shelf. Now I don't feel so bad, like I was really missing out on something. Thanks guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OscarV Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 Another sufferer of "better in the good ole days" syndrome.Today is the good ole days because we are alive.But back in the old man memories of the ole days bourbon was better because it was older than the age statement on the label.Today there is no age statement and the bourbon is green.

Can't tell you how many times I been offered nice bottles just by talking with managers/employees and letting them know I drink the whiskey, not flip it. They seem to "magically" appear :cool:.

Still not in our distributors system. Can't ship until it is in system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

P&MLiquorsEric Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 Any word on general quantities or if its allocated similar to Antique Collection (i.e. based on total BT sales)?Doubt it will be extremely limited like btac (at least around here). More than pvw/btac but less than eh Taylor line. I wouldn't expect it to last long either. Unless they offer 5 or 6 cases (12 packs), we plan to limit it to one per person. Sazarac/BT is a smart company run by bourbon AND business people. Using the stagg name rather than BT means they want the brand to be a premium product. We have no idea on our allocation. Hoping to find out next week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tigerlam92 Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 Just got a sample in and posted our Review of Stagg Jr. Unfortunately it's not an entirely positive review.Nice review. Thank you. Would a direct side by side with ECBP be doable please? It may be apple to oranges, but they will be compared and are in the same price range. It may be one for a specific mood and the other for another time kind of pour.ThanksHugh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrinkSpirits Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 Thanks, appreciate that. It's hard to tell people who you like that what they are doing isn't good, but my it's my job. Ultimately it helps brands make better products when they understand why and where they've miss-stepped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We asked for it from Heaven Hill back in March, but I was on the road so much, I didn't realize that we never did get it in... Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
