Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
Nice pick up!
I have not been lucky to get any of the Batch 24 series from my regular stores, but I have have tastes from 24A and 24B. I like 24B a lot.

Re: The Bourbon Thread!!
$250 is high for regular Stagg considering it's MSRP is $70. I splurged earlier this year for 3 bottles of store picks at $150 each. I have missed out on the recent Batch 24A and 24B due to...

I grabbed these today at a new store. They were a bit more than I like to pay for Stagg Jr., but well below secondary. I would have had a case had I gotten there five minutes sooner.
