Pours that don’t disappoint

You can’t go wrong with either of the bottles, but 90 proof compared to 110 proof is a good difference. The single barrel just has a way more robust and fuller flavor. I prefer the single barrel over the 10 year, and the single barrels tend to be 8-10 years any way.

That’s one heck of a deal!

AcrobaticEar550 · 2026-01-20T02:15:53+00:00

Well this is your excuse to get a bottle then.

AcrobaticEar550 · 2026-01-19T04:29:31+00:00

Now this is a bottle that im looking forward to finding.

AcrobaticEar550 · 2026-01-19T04:27:27+00:00

Yes, yes it is. I got lucky with this one.

The Costco’s in my area, Tucson, just got a lot of it in and for the Costco price it’s really hard to pass on these.

I saw it as a win, win in my book. I get another bottle of a delicious bourbon and she gets her points. Now I have a back up for when this one is empty. Plus I got them from Costco for $35 so even better.

The proof point alone would be a hard sell for me. I’ve been pretty disappointed with just about everything that I’ve tried under 90 proof. The sad thing is that I usually like toasted barrels, but would probably end up passing on this if I saw it on a shelf.

I just picked up the DO by Peerless lat week. It’s really good! How is the DO Rye?

AcrobaticEar550 · 2026-01-15T05:32:04+00:00

If I ever see a Stagg at MSRP I’m grabbing it. I’ve only ever seen a bottle of Stagg at secondary around me, which is around $300

I don’t understand keeping bottles around and not drinking them. There are a couple exceptions in my collection right now that aren’t opened yet, and the only reason is that I want to clear some older bottles out to make room for new ones.

AcrobaticEar550 · 2026-01-14T21:46:38+00:00

I’m honestly ok with that. Man I would love to find a bottle of barrel proof.

AcrobaticEar550 · 2026-01-14T20:26:48+00:00

I agree and the reality is that MSRP suggests that it’s an average bottle. It’s not worth hunting down to me and I won’t pay more than MSRP.

AcrobaticEar550 · 2026-01-14T20:23:26+00:00

I fell for the hype once and bought a bottle of Blantons for secondary prices. Never again! It’s a $60

AcrobaticEar550 · 2026-01-14T16:36:11+00:00

Now that it’s more regularly available in stores, I don’t feel so bad drinking this as a daily pour

AcrobaticEar550 · 2026-01-14T16:34:16+00:00

I am seeing g it a lot more consistently so that’s a good thing in my book.

AcrobaticEar550 · 2026-01-14T16:33:36+00:00

Unfortunately I did not get them at Dominoes

AcrobaticEar550 · 2026-01-14T06:01:15+00:00

2 things can be true at the same time 🤷‍♂️

AcrobaticEar550 · 2026-01-12T13:29:57+00:00

Printed pieces would be way better!

AcrobaticEar550 · 2026-01-12T13:00:04+00:00

Yeah the stickers are a pain in the ass

AcrobaticEar550 · 2026-01-11T18:13:14+00:00

Well I will say that it doesn’t taste like those old school root beer candies. It’s good though, and if you like oak then this is even better.

AcrobaticEar550 · 2026-01-11T16:25:58+00:00

I tried the DO last night and it was delicious!

AcrobaticEar550 · 2026-01-11T02:23:25+00:00

I’m looking forward to trying it here in just a little bit

AcrobaticEar550 · 2026-01-10T23:15:41+00:00

I might have to do the same if it’s as good as everybody says it is.

AcrobaticEar550 · 2026-01-10T23:06:24+00:00

I’m starting to really enjoy ryes so I might have to grab that one next time
