I'm gonna vent a minute. I wish I had a quarter for every call or email from folks begging for Stagg in the past two weeks. Now I know this bourbon is a fine whiskey, but what the h-ll is going on? I know PLAYBOY listed it as one of those bottles that every real man should own, and I did get a few calls right after that came out. You shoulda seen how much fun I had with guys who called right after that. "Oh, so you saw the article in PLAYBOY, huh?"
Has there been other major press on this bottle lately to stir up so much craze? I've got folks from all over the country buggin' me about Stagg. I ask folks, "What other bourbons do you enjoy?" When they can't answer that, I almost go nuts.
I honestly haven't had the chance to taste any of the previous bottlings. I sold all my stash last year without saving a bottle for myself. I got to taste this year's at the Festival. Any thoughts on how this year's compares with years past?
