George T Stagg Hazmat 2012 vs 2022 vs 2023, Best Bourbon ever?

[@yourdrinkingbuddy]

I think one of these was possibly the best whiskey I have ever sipped. What is the best whiskey you have ever had?

[@AngryCocktails]

Big call when you feel like you've just had the best whiskey ever!

[@phatzwave4424]

I have several hazmat GTS (2007, 2008, & 2009), but it's the William Larue Weller, specially the 2009 that's the finest Bourbon I've ever tasted. BTW, your GTS 2012 is a 17-year-old (Bottlebluebook). Cheers!

[@jimmatthews6150]

Great job fellas! Can’t go wrong with GTS.

[@yourdrinkingbuddy]

Absolutely. It was amazing. I think that 2012 really blew me away. Cheers buddy thanks for watching 🥃

[@MrFlabbergasted]

I've been waiting for someone to compare 2022 vs 2023, this is even better!

[@yourdrinkingbuddy]

I havent seen anyone do this before, so when I realized I had 2 gts samples and a bottle, I HAD to. Cheers buddy thanks for watching 🥃

[@BuckMcAntlerson]

I co-own a GTS 22 and 23 and trying to decide which to sell and which to drink

[@yourdrinkingbuddy]

@@BuckMcAntlerson i preferred 23. Also, 22 will have more secondary value if that matters.

[@marcot9065]

Great video!! It was GTS hazmat was soooo good!

[@yourdrinkingbuddy]

It really blew me away. Cheers buddy thanks for everything 🥃

[@DirtyHairy01]

That was super cool!

[@yourdrinkingbuddy]

I still cant quite believe I was part of it. Cheers buddy thanks for watching 🥃

[@buz_killington_8177]

Wow! What an awesome flight to share! I love his reaction to the reveal of 3 GTS pours. I'd say my favorite pour is Russell's 13 batch 3. Strong cherry and just as it starts bordering on too medicinal, the oak takes over and lingers forever.

[@yourdrinkingbuddy]

I love that bottle. Best Russell's, I think, easily. Cheers buddy thanks for everything 🥃

[@davevogelsang6791]

I’m a little jealous watching this. 😂 I have a friend who is sending me a sample of GTS 2023 and cannot wait. 🥃

[@yourdrinkingbuddy]

I am very glad that I got to do this one. I hope you love that 23 gts sample! Cheers buddy thanks for watching 🥃

[@the_whiskeyshaman]

One of a kind line up there

[@yourdrinkingbuddy]

For sure buddy! I hope you get to pop that Handy soon! Cheers and thanks for everything 🥃

[@the_whiskeyshaman]

I’m thinking on my come back live stream. Gotta wait for good news from the doc first

[@venomous1071]

So which was better between 2022 gts and 2023 gts ?

[@yourdrinkingbuddy]

2012>2023>2022 for me. And that isn't because I have the 23, I preferred it blind. Cheers buddy thanks for watching 🥃

[@venomous1071]

Thnx for the response , cheers 🥃

[@StevenScone]

The Mighty Fine is your favorite bookers? That was the first bookers I bought and was disappointed but I got a Knob Creek Single Barrel and pretty much figured out I don't like Beam stuff.

[@yourdrinkingbuddy]

If you dont like Mighty Fine, bookers isnt for you. Now, you might still try OLD beam. So Knob 15 or 18 or Hardin's Creek. COMPLETELY different profile. Cheers buddy thanks for watching 🥃

[@zoolander221]

Mmmmmm very nice 👍. Sipping 3 different GTS, it’s a beautiful day. Cheers DB

[@yourdrinkingbuddy]

What a dream! I still can't quite believe I get paid (a little lol) to do this!! Cheers buddy thanks for watching 🥃

[@1234hanha]

hello? I am a bourbon lover living in South Korea. I found your video interesting, but my English isn't that good, so I'm curious which one tasted best.

[@yourdrinkingbuddy]

The hazmat 2012 was my favorite followed by the 2023. Very glad to hear you are getting into bourbon! Drop a comment any time, I always answer!

[@1234hanha]

​@@yourdrinkingbuddy A while ago, I held a vertical tasting of my personal GTS collection 2017-2023. 25 people participated, and first place was overwhelmingly GTS2022. 2nd place is gts2020. 3rd place was ecbp c919 in a gts bottle... 8th place was... gts 2023. I think my GTS 2023 was fake.

[@yourdrinkingbuddy]

@1234hanha that is a crazy awesome flight! There is another channel that didn't like the 2023 and had a cork expert try his bottle and it had cork taint! Maybe that was a broad issue.

[@g4m3c4ck]

I am jealous. I have been really wanting to try the Hazmat GTS.

[@yourdrinkingbuddy]

I am shocked that I am able to do stuff like this. Cheers buddy thanks for watching 🥃

[@brooksreed9609]

Funny, another channel I watch, Drums and Drams just did a flight of 3 dusty and recent WLW’s, this should have been a collab!

[@yourdrinkingbuddy]

Nice! I will check it out. He was the ecbp c923 controversy guy? Cheers buddy thanks for everything 🥃

[@cpccsd75]

Great line up! Go D-Wayne!!! (FYI ChileDog is Brad :))

[@dwaintaylor4379]

Cheers Brother 🥃🥃🥃💯

[@yourdrinkingbuddy]

Cheers to both of you! Thanks for joining D Wayne!

[@robertharper2158]

Stagg vs Stagg.......no loser here!

[@yourdrinkingbuddy]

Absolutely. What a delicious flight! Cheers buddy thanks for watching 🥃

[@robertharper2158]

Good blind guys.....thanks!

[@yourdrinkingbuddy]

Thanks for watching buddy! Cheers 🥃

[@ChappysTikiBar]

All the best in 2024 my friend 💥

[@yourdrinkingbuddy]

Thank you buddy! Cheers and same to you! 🥃

[@mattd5762]

Stash on fleek big dogg

[@yourdrinkingbuddy]

Thanks buddy! I should twirl it more often. Cheers and thanks for watching 🥃

[@brooksreed9609]

Insert Seinfeld gif “YOURE ALL WINNERS!”

[@yourdrinkingbuddy]

Absolutely! Especially me, for having a friend as good as you!! Cheers buddy thanks for everything 🥃

[@garystielow232]

Dwayne you lucky bast@rd! I've never had GTS either (heck never even had Stagg Jr) how do I get on the show!!!? Just kidding, I would be a horrible guest. My nosing notes would be "hmm ethanol", and most of my tasting notes are either "blech?" or "hey, that's tasty" or "wood/paper". Neat vid, very cool to see a tasting with three different batches of GTS.

[@yourdrinkingbuddy]

You are invited any time, and I am sure you would make a GREAT guest! Cheers buddy thanks for everything 🥃
