I Challenged 10 Bourbon Hunters To Battle For A Stagg

[@mcarter713]

Woodford DO @ 37 is a good deal but not a great find. That bottle is really findable for 50. The EHT single barrel is impossible to find. That was, by far, the best score. It isn't even close. If you walked into a store and they had the EHT for 75 and Woodford fir 37 and you could only buy one, which are you buying? It has to be the EHT.

[@Bourbon_Hunter]

I here what you are saying but at that moment the woodford is somehow less than wholesale price. In my opinion best “find” for the day. EH Taylor single barrel is a great haul tho

[@johng5710]

Yup...for how allocated it is, and if you actually find it somewhere it's almost never going to be at MSRP. Hell, I've never even seen the small batch at $75

[@ehtater]

EHT SiB 74.99? come on now!

[@ehtater]

I paid $139 for mine.

[@Bourbon_Hunter]

Even paying $140 for yours you did great!

[@apeekintime]

Not really better than the Small Batch though. Secondary prices really don't mean anything unless you are willing to pay them. It's far easier to find EHT SiB for MSRP than it is to find a bottle listed for less than retailer cost. That retailer paid around $45 for that bottle of DO and sold it for less than costs. That's a bargain.

[@ehtater]

@@apeekintime Yeah there is something to be said for the shelfer find certainly, I got 5 garrison bros all for under 40 bucks and KO St Pats for 40 so there is merits to it. A while back HH 7yr BiB was at costco 36.99 some places

[@100puremustard5]

Woodford DO $36.99 at Costco 😂

[@nickdovgi]

I feel like people got salty and didnt want the dude to go home with both the EHT Single Barrel and the Stagg. Woodford Double Oak is a regular everyday shelfer, sure he got a great price but I guarantee more people would be excited about the EHT SiB at $75 than the Double Oak at $37.

[@Bourbon_Hunter]

I was excited people even showed up for the challenge honestly

[@gmant928]

The guy with the EHT got robbed 😂 the one guy was clearly just voting for his friend no matter what

[@Bourbon_Hunter]

They didnt know each other before that day 😂 I cant believe the voting was that close!

[@TylerM_86_]

This was a nice change of pace. Fun vid.

[@Bourbon_Hunter]

Thank you! Glad you enjoyed!

[@williamharvey124]

I have to disagree. Woodford DO is a shelf item, the fact that it sat there long enough that is got discounted shouldn't matter that much. The SiB Taylor is special because you cannot find it at MSRP.

[@Bourbon_Hunter]

I can’t believe I had to make the tie breaking decision 😨🥃 Thank you for watching tho!

[@pkruez2089]

Woodford DO is indeed a shelf bottle. Seems to be $50 range in most of the country, $35-$42 in the West Coast (Costco).

[@pizzawarlord9232]

Cool fun vid Woodfrords DO for $37 is fantastic but still much rather have EHT SiB or the Little Book every time over the DO. Finding an EHT SiB for msrp in SC was the win by far. Finding an EHT in SC seems harder than a good deal on a common bottle but what donI know I don’t live there 😂

[@Bourbon_Hunter]

Its just wild how different people think! I was put in a tough spot to chose the winner and my gut was telling me this guy getting the bottle for 1/2 of retail just made sense

[@pizzawarlord9232]

@@Bourbon_Hunter it was a hell of a deal. We just choose differently. No wrong answer as both were solid and it’s subjective. I just would have gone with a hard to find solid bottle. Woodfords DO is a good pour but Crittenden DO is , for me, the best standard level DO and it cost less and is 118 proof so the flavor is amazing. Also Woodford is $60 around me but not impossible to find for under $50. So I went with good deal and which would you rather walk out of the store with

[@BourbonNRyeGuy]

The find was the EHT. It was MSRP, but come on, do you ever see it on a shelf for less than $200? While the WDO guy saved $15 on shelf-er.

[@lxwvandenberg]

This is why I cant take this guy and his channel seriously.

[@Bourbon_Hunter]

Easy to sit on the sidelines and hate 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@Bourbon_Hunter]

It was a tough decision. What I was thinking about is yeah EH Single Barrel is hard to find but that was MSRP. How often do you find a bottle for pretty much half of wholesale? I found that more impressive then buying $200 worth of other stuff so the store owner offers you a bottle for MSRP

Easier to do if you buy $200 of other product on top of it. Some doors open themselves thats why I picked the woodford because it had no strings attached! To each their own

[@BigWodie904]

Yeah, but you said at the beginning of the video "The Best Bourbon at the Best Price." Was there a rule that you couldn't bundle, use rewards points, etc? Why should that dude get punished for spending a lil more $ for other bottles? Woodford DO is not bad, but it still wouldn't be the "Best Bourbon" over EHT SiB. All debating aside, I liked the Bourbon Hunting challenge, good concept.

[@apeekintime]

Nice format and I 100% agree with the winner. Look, EHT single barrel is hard to find but it's not that great. Most people who hype it up are people who over paid to obtain it or people who never had it. EHT is just MEH. To me, it's one of the worst BIB products on the market, even at MSRP, and it is easily one of the worst products released by Sazerac. It's on par with Blanton's and only beats out Weller SR. I'd drink ANYTHING else over it. The single barrel can be better, but I've also had multiple that were WORSE than small batch. On the otherhand... EHT Barrel Proof and Blantons STFB are two of the best regular releases from Sazerac - Oddly enough. The best regular release in the EHT lineup is the Straight Rye, and it's not close. Woodford Double Oaked is consistently good. It's one of the best DO products on the market - at $50 (what it costs in my area) it's one of the best bargains in bourbon. At $38 it's a steal.

[@Bourbon_Hunter]

I agree with you 100%
