Which Stagg Jr batch is your favorite. Fortunately I recently stumbled across several bottles of batch 13 for $50. Money well spent.

I’m a whiskey (bourbon, scotch, etc) lover and recently fell into Redbreast Whiskey. It’s Irish, not a bourbon, made at the Middleton distillery - but REALLY good. Pretty easy to find and about $70 for their 12 year. I got tired of chasing the rare stuff and striking out. They also have a Lustau edition which is my new favorite. I drink it neat.

Below is my growing Buffalo Trace distillery collection (I forgot to include Blanton's). Ranked in order of my preference is:

1. Stagg Jr.
2. Col. EH Taylor Small Batch
3a. Eagle Rare
3b. Buffalo Trace
5. Blanton's
6. Sazerac Rye
7. Weller Special Reserve

-- Picks 1 and 2 are consistent, while 3 through 6 may change depending on the fickleness of my palate.
