Absolutely, Greg. It's a Beam product that has more punch than the Basil Hayden but not the strength of Booker's. I actually liked Baker's better when it was small batch, but the single barrel is a solid pour. Hope you enjoy.

I like Bakers too. I liken it Bookers light, basically what Tom said.

Porch Dweller · 12-27-2024, 01:54 PM

Thirded for Baker's. I grab a bottle on base every couple of months. Bookers Light is an apt description.

Thanks For The Info, All!

For Christmas Steph got me an OF set, with the 1897, 1910, and 1920. I've had them before and really enjoy the 1897 and 1920. She also grabbed a Rabbit Hole gift set. I knew nothing about them until I got it. I had some of the High Rye Double Malt last night and it's quite good. I got some Scotches, too, but that's for another thread...

I've had a couple of those Rabbit Hole blends, James, pretty interesting.

Binny's called me up. Weller 107 single barrel pick. About half the cost of regular 107 on secondary. Yes please.

Opened up the latest Booker's (24-04, Jimmy's). Pretty hot right out of the gate, seems pretty middle of the road for Booker's at best. I recommend the 24-03 if you see it.

My haul from the Spec's Mega Drop this past weekend.

Chainsaw13 · 12-30-2024, 06:47 PM

Good god man! Impressive haul.

Now that is impressive!

icehog3 · 12-31-2024, 10:37 AM

Congrats Tony!

I wanted to post that I am alcohol-free so far in 2025.

I am cautiously optimistic about not making this post again.

I just poured a beer, so I lasted 16 hours into 2025...well, not counting the bourbon I finished at 1230 in the morning.

Beagleone · 01-01-2025, 11:11 PM

One last haul from 2024

I made it until about 10PM yesterday, James.

Chainsaw13 · 01-07-2025, 07:01 PM

Got tha call from my B&M, I was next up on their list to grab one of the HTF bottles. I think I was like 15-18 on the list. The few BTAC they had gotten were gone. There were some really nice bottles though, but at close to secondary prices. Just couldn’t swing those prices. So I got one of the two I’ve been wanting.

stearns · 01-08-2025, 07:01 AM

Nice pickup Bob! I've gotten my hands on a few Stagg's but never at retail from a store, that's a definite win

Last March I did an ECBP bracket to determine which was the best batch, this year we're doing Stagg (jr), batches 11 - 24C. It's gonna be a fun month

Porch Dweller · 01-08-2025, 08:37 AM

Nice, Bob!

icehog3 · 01-08-2025, 09:00 AM

Nice pickup, Bob, though it kind of sucks that your B&M has a list, but then charges secondary? Enjoy that Stagg, though, that's great stuff.

Ben, looking forward to the results of your Stagg tasting. Remind me of your top few in the ECBP battle please.
