Michael caldwel Posted February 17, 2023 Share Posted February 17, 2023 Wondering if anybody knows what the 22b means? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markandrex Posted February 17, 2023 Share Posted February 17, 2023 (edited) With no Jr. In the label, I would say b18. Possibly a late 2022 offering. Nice find. https://blog.kysupplyco.com/stagg-jr-batches-info-by-release/ Edited February 17, 2023 by markandrex Added link 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael caldwel Posted February 17, 2023 Author Share Posted February 17, 2023 I thought 18 was the only without the JR on the bottle but wasn’t sure why the proof was different than the other 18’s I’ve seen and I’ve never seen the 22b on the bottle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richnimrod Posted February 17, 2023 Share Posted February 17, 2023 WARNING: Total shot in the dark... (Since I stopped following the Stagg Jr. drama when it became so damned rare and marked up so much.) Might the 22B mean the second (B) edition of Stagg Jr. in 2022? Don't actually know if Sazerac ever went to that nomenclature system... so, maybe way off on that WAG. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael caldwel Posted February 17, 2023 Author Share Posted February 17, 2023 That makes sense though. I should have asked more when I bought it but when I got it for retail I kinda felt like I was basically stealing it so I just took it without even questioning. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If recently, then it goes without saying it's the most recent batch, whichever batch number that would be. As an aside, all these "batch numbers" are, as far as I can tell anyway, something totally concocted by the public (driven by the secondary market I suppose), not the manufacturer. It's a concept, not an actual release. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tom_frootbat Posted February 20, 2023 Share Posted February 20, 2023 Have you opened this? Really interested to hear how it is. I have always been a fan of Stagg Jr. bourbon so would love to hear how the new bottle measures up. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fosmith Posted February 24, 2023 Share Posted February 24, 2023 It's batch 19. The 22B means the second batch of 2022. Here's a review. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
