A Stagg to Renew Our Faith! Stagg Bourbon 23C
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 10 мар 2024
- We recently got in a few of the 23 batches of Stagg Bourbon (lite) and were going through them. We certainly haven't been impressed this year so we're hoping that Buffalo Traces Stagg 23C can bring us back our faith in this line.

I lucked out and got this bottle at $70 MSRP here in Texas. First bottle of Stagg I had and definitely not the last🔥
Same, but here in CA for $60 at Total Wine. Haven't opened it yet, but looking forward to it. Sounds like i'm going to have to hunt for a backup
I'm I'm TX, too, and this seemed like the most available bottle here that I've yet seen. I've been hoping that means there is a trend of availability in the future.
I got lucky and got this for MSRP unexpectedly from my grocery store guy... After springing for $230 to buy 23B which was my first Staff ever... not complaining, just funny how I have been chasing Stagg for years and end up nabbing 2 within a week of each other. Average price under $150 each, so delighted to have them to share and compare.
Congrats and you will definitely enjoy it!!!
Same here. Picked it up today for 64 after tax in NC
Here 22A came in Jan 23 and 23A 23B 23C all came in 2023 so 4 Releases in 2023... Here's to hoping 3 or more releases in 2024...kinda makes it easier to find and drives the prices back down. I've found most to have less oak on the pallet and really enjoyed 22A and 23C the most. Have a Great Day and Cheers Everyone 🥃🥃
This is the first bottle I have ever bought because I got it for $80 here in California. I haven't tried the other batches so this one stands out as great for me.
I was able to pick up a bottle for 148, opened this weekend and I have to agree that its amazing!
Won a lottery and got one today at MSRP $70
Can’t wait to try it
Got a case for $55 per bottle $330 a case
We got 23C in my area of WA in late January. It is my favorite batch of the 23's.
I have yet to open my 23c. Thanks for the review boys.
It’s delicious, 23A is my favorite of the 23’s though! 🔥
this makes me feel better bc the only 23 bottle I got of the three was 23A (for retail) but haven't opened it yet
“Your ears are like an airplane toilet.” I am 100% going to be using this, and with zero context.
I picked up 23C in December
I got my bottle of 23C the last week of December in ND
Was fortunate to get this in December during a distribution drop for 55 and am saving it for my 1 year anniversary. I will say I can’t wait now!
Expectations build up over time and often arent aligned with reality. Lol
Scored a bottle yesterday for a C-Note. I am going to have to crack it sooner after seeing this review!
Snagged two of these msrp over two weeks! Really changed my perspective on my previous mindset about Stagg.
Picked up the 23C for $100. Haven't cracked yet but definitely excited to now!!
I just got a bottle of Stagg Jr 22b for $49
Hearing u paid 150 for this makes me so happy I live in ohio!!
Have you tried all you staggs with water or in cocktails/old fashions? Super wild, but we noticed some are better than others in old fashions, but aren’t better neat. I run cocktail programs and do barrel picks that are for specific cocktails. It sounds crazy, but do some blinds as cocktails or diluted and you’d be surprised what batches really come out on top. Thanks for all the content!!
Been killing my 23c, its solid juice
23C came out in November ‘23 (if I remember correctly). However, if you guys got it in ‘24 then it still makes your Top ‘24 list. 😉😅
Got a bottle of this today with a EHT small batch for $200. Was afraid it wouldn’t be worth it but guhdayum.
A friend of mine recently lucked into a Batch 18 for $50. We cracked it open the other night. Batch 18 is worth paying a little bit more for.
Just picked one up in central CA for 70 at BevMo it was the only one they received I lucked out and bought it online as soon as it went up for sale. I swear they didn’t want to sell it to me lol. I’m surprised they didn’t cancel my online order.
Please do the 22A comparison!
It was also definitely released in 2023, I’ve had mine a while. The had 3 releases 2023
Agreed......came across 2 during Thanksgiving or Xmas of 23 in Middle TN.
*4
Had this and it’s probably the best of the 23s but I still traded my bottle for a 22a cause I just like it so much more
Funny. I only have two bottles of Stagg ever and they are 22A and 23C. Guess I lucked out on which ones I got. I agree the 22A is phenomenal. But the 23C is pretty dang good too. Need to go back to back and see which I like better
They started dropping a few weeks ago in northern Kentucky
Got a line on any stores in NKY that might still have some for a decent price?
@@SKATVonD420 there was one that had them for $129, but they’re all gone
@@thomasmichael6509 I'd say for that price they definitely were. I haven't had luck in years getting a Stagg or Stagg Jr around here. I'm from Kenton County
@@SKATVonD420 I’m from Kenton county too. This was my first time ever finding Stagg (Jr) under $300. I think in our county, you need to know someone or be in a points system to get allocated at retail
@@thomasmichael6509 yeah, not super huge on the points system, and you definitely gotta have a friend behind the counter to get it at retail. I remember back in 09 and 10 GTS used to sit in a box on the floor at Cork n Bottle or in Crescent Springs
Can you guys tier list the Stagg's with your favorite to least?
Can't wait for the 22A blind with the 23 series
Stagg hound here!
Stagg is the best
$60ish + tax is what I paid for my 23c in Virginia. 🎉
I would hit the lottery if I was able to find a bottle of Stagg at msrp. Hope to eventually find one.
How many times do I have to say justice for batch 16? By far my favorite of the ones I’ve had. Yall reviewed it positively too if I remember
I LOVE 16. It's the only one I have a backup of
Haven’t had a Staggy J in forever
I was able to snag one of these on December 29th last year so I guess it “came out in 23” ??? Lol
Just found one and took one for the team at $180
Got one at my local kroger for $59… Doesnt hurt that I work there lol
WOO HOO
How's that Sagamore Rye 8 Year on the shelf behind you? I see it at my local store for $80.
Sag 8 year is amazing for 70-85 imo
See!! Told yall 23c is amazing!!! haha
Have you guys tasted (the reverend sour mash) yet? And if so, what do ya'll think?
Stagg never left.... Some are just slightly better than others
Glad I’m sitting on 3 of these! Great work.
Same. It is yummy
Can I get one? @zactyler5443
0:52 VOB 100
so chaotic lol wish i could swap out my 23B for a 23C
It sucks looking for years and never finding a bottle of Stagg for decent price
Really isnt a big deal, its not exceptional on any level. Good barrel proof offering but not the end of the world if you cant find it. Its not great enough to be bent about not finding.
Nice review! Agree the 23c is really nice! I scored 9 bottles of 23b for 42.00 per bottle, made some trades and got a 22a, 23a, and some other bottles. The 22a and 23c are really nice pours! Cheers
how in the world did you get 1 let alone 9 at 42? MSRP is around 60 at the minimum. that's either the most clueless store ever, or something else was going on lol
@@joeymchugh8339 it was at a big box store no limit so I have enough friends, family, and trades to make so I bought what I saw. I ended up with other Staggs, Joseph Magnus Cigar Blend, Weller 107, Weller Full Proof, Russell’s Rickhouse, and a few others. The Stagg 23c I got from BevMo for 72.00 and a few weeks later at the same big box store I picked up another haul that cost me 2,700.00 that I spread out to friends and family.
The 23C is epic. Its unbelievable. Beyond any whiskey experience I've had so far!!
Norhing unbeleiveable about it for me lol its alright, not exceptional, beyond any whiskey experience? Not remotely approaching that for me. Expectations vs reality are often a stark contrast
Lmao, then you haven't had great whiskey. Stagg is great for 65ish dollar whiskey.
@@TylerM_86_ 🤣🤣🤣 oh your so behooving 🤡
@@sizzlegrinch3612 there is a reason they don't charge 150+ for a bottle. It's 7 year old whiskey lmao
I thought this was a weaker batch of stagg but I was comparing to Batches 16,17 and 18 haven’t had any of the others since then so if that’s the best of those I’d say it’s sadly gone downhill a little
Stagg Light or Lite?
How the heck do you taste all of those notes after a couple sips?
Muscle memory, been doing this for a bit now.
Found in CA for 59.99
Does this dry your mouth out like the 23b did?
23C is my first owned Stagg Ive opened. Its good but I definitely don't understand the hype. Evernoth /Virtue Rye 4 is better. 23C definitely came out in 2023 got mine in November.
I have this unopened at home so seeing this review is exciting. We have a local store here that saves allocated and special bottles for their regular customers to purchase. Plus they barely charge over MSRP. My price for this was $70.00.
You all running smack on that other guy is epic funny. Highlight of the vid. All in good fun I suppose............
Easy top 3 Dan-ism "your ears are like an airplane toilet and someone just took a shit." Ya kill me, brother! Never change...
I'm confused lol. Didn't you get talked off the ledge not to go down to a 125 secondary price on this on the other video?
80👍
23B Weakest batch of SJR ever made. Semi putrid. 23C is Solid. More honey notes then other batches... I blinded all the 23's on my channel. C was the best IMO
I just broke down and ordered a bottle of Stagg [Jr] for $280 on one of the online sellers that I refuse to name or recommend:). I should get it this week, and I can’t wait to try it. I’ve never tasted Stagg Jr., but I can tell I’ll love it, based on these RUclips reviews. I’ll water it down to 100 proof and make it last a year!
You’re probably not gunna get it. Most of those online sellers are scams. Report back and let us know if it comes in or not.
@@jameslane9267I’ve never had an issue ordering online. But I typically only order from stores that have also have brick and mortar buildings or a ton of good faith with people and plenty of reviews. Preferably with Reddit cred
Never tried stagg jr but you somehow "know you'll love it". Interesting........... Try joining sdcondary groups, youll gdt them sent to your door for less than your crappy online reseller 🥴🤦♂️
How do I tell what release Stagg I have?
So on the new ones the front label will say, if it doesn't say a batch on there you have to Google the proof.
@@BourbonJunkies batch 18 131 proof, not my favorite.
I bought one for 20 bucks... don't I wish
i have tried 23C two times. And I did not think this was a very good Stagg release. I did not like the finish on it at all.
22a - Early Spring 2023
23a - Late Spring 2023
23b - Fall 2023
23c - Winter 2023
what about 22B?
@@pakjaded8819 that was winter 2022 and I was only including 2023 releases
@@lukstephens1 I got 22a and 22b both in 2023 interesting
@@pakjaded8819 Noiceeeee, congrats 🎉 lots of people would love to get their hands on either, myself included
I paid 699.69 for this, can't wait to try it!
😂
I just spit the meth out of my pipe!😂
Unless you film yourself getting it at msrp. It never happened!! 😂😂😂
Can't wait yo crack open my 23C. Bonus: I paid $80.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
You both are sone of the best on you tube. I want to watch all you put out… but the cursing! My kids are usually around when I’m watching! I understand it comes natural to you but maybe beep it out? Sometimes you do but not always! Help me out!
Whet
Just grabbed one for 50 bucks. It’s okay, not as good as the old stagg jr
Won one at auction (23c) for $56...bunkered a 2nd one for $200...so I feel like $256 for two was WAYYYYY worth it.
I did win the one IN 2023...so it was a 2023 release.
I got mine for 75 bucks at a liquor store outside a whiskey festival. It always pays to chat with folks. Guy had it hidden behind the counter.
Antlers, not horns... sorry...
Makes me upset I bought 23B
I've never had a bad Stagg (jr.) or GTS. Renew your faith?!? Whatever.
I lucked out and got a Pappy 20 for $450 this week. I still need to find a Weller 107. Hope everyone the best whiskey adventures…
where on earth?
I just recently got 5 of these 23Cs all at MSRP…
You like an award or a gold star? 🤷♂️
Yes please…..
STOP TALKING OVER EACH OTHER LOL
23C is not good
You're probably right. You know, though, some people are loose with their money. I say let 'em have at it. It seems unnecessary to me, but to each their own.
Duuuude it's delicious. I've had bottles since batch 14. The only batch I HAVENT gotten was the weird unofficial Batch 18. Batch 17 is my absolute least favorite since batch 14. I love this batch and have fallen into three bottles. I'm stoked
@@nrmower I have all the 2023 releases and I've blinded them all several times now. 23C just doesn't hold up to 23A/B. It's been the first pour I push out each blind I've done. It just doesn't appeal to me personally.
Sorry guys, never paid over 50.00 for these and l love them, I've found 3 but 50 is where it is until the next one.
No bottle is worth 200…
Can’t do it….. haven’t seen it less than $199 for a while. Still sitting on some batch 12 that I got for $60
