That Wilderness Trail shirt is incredible

[@dragonb5758]

Went to their merch shop hoping to find it, then searched it up and found Wilderness Trail. I'm totally picking one up. I love it.

[@JamesThomas-hd4me]

My neighbor is a “Friend of the Trace” and invited me to go with him to a barrel pick of Eagle Rare. They bottled it a few months later and I bought a bottle. It’s probably the best bourbon I’ve ever had. It is head and shoulders above and beyond the normal Eagle Rare. My second favorite was Stagg Jr. -pure brown sugar.

[@philipwatson9666]

The Stagg Jr is my wife's favorite as well. It brings so much to the table (probably the proof helps as well), but agreed delicious

[@jasonacosta3860]

The saying you don't know what you've got until it's gone definitely applies to me. The local grocery store would routinely have their eagle rare store pick for $30 and would put them on sale for $25 around Mardi Gras. Now I can't find a normal eagle rare

[@Michael-so2mh]

There are currently 10 different Buffalo Trace products in my collection with Elmer T and Antique 107 being the two most recent. If I absolutely had to classify top to bottom (not an easy task by any means) From the top down it would look something like this. Elmer T Lee, Weller 12, Weller Antique 107, Eagle Rare, E.H. Taylor (Small Batch), Blanton's (Single Barrel), Weller Special Reserve, Buffalo Trace, Kosher Wheat Recipe, Benchmark (Single Barrel). In reality, from the Elmer to the Taylor, those are all hard to put one in front of the other as they are all so good.

[@WombatAnnihilator]

Jealous…

[@kurtkohler2062]

Once got a sample of George T. Stagg and Eagle Rare 17. Those were celestial.

[@ejbsee6081]

Easy- EH Taylor barrel proof. A selection I used to find on a regular basis at or near retail. That ended 5 years ago

[@dustinmray]

Buffalo Trace regular is my favorite!

[@robertdewey1158]

EH Taylor single barrel followed very very closely by a Eagle Rare store pick.

[@iTzBigFeller]

EH Taylor Barrel Proof (hope to find one), had a pour and loved it, also Weller 107, so good!!! Get a pour every time I see it

[@adirtysock9720]

Happy Thanksgiving Bourbon Junkies and fam!

[@Chevygang23LT]

My favorite buffalo trace product that I have actually tried is eagle rare. I’m waiting for a store in my area to get some E.H Taylor small batch in!

[@gordonross1922]

My favorite BT product that I have tried so far is EHT BP (my bottle). One caveat: the only BTAC I have tasted is GTS 2019 (friend's bottle), but I think I liked the EHT BP better from what I recall.

[@RichardRacks]

By far my favorite BT bottle is Stagg. I have the following BT offerings I have opened and tried, Thomas Handy, Rock Hill Farms, Weller Full Proof, Weller Antique, EHT Single Barrel, Blantons, & Eagle Rare

[@stevefromchicago8277]

I usually learn nothing but it is still fun to watch. Can’t wait for Advent!

[@dakotatheplumber1287]

I'm new to the whiskey scene and have only had 2 fingers of Buffalo Trace at a bar a month ago. Enjoyed it. My town had zero Buffalo Trace products. Had to shop around in a neighboring city before I found any. Picked up a bottle of Buffalo Trace and Eagle Rare. Cost was $50 for Trace and $100 for Rare. Central Missouri prices suck.

[@jeffrey7524]

My favorite has always been Elmer T Lee but I pretty much love them all, especially the EH Taylor line.

[@zoolander221]

Happy Thanksgiving to you both and your loved ones, thank you for all the content you provide, cheers!

[@alanslavik3599]

My favorite bottle I've ever had was a hazmat GTS, can't tell you which batch but it's what honestly got me into whiskey. Went into a liquor store right after trying it and asked them if they had any and got a rude awakening to the world of allocation, employee laughed me out the store and I had no idea why

[@FeelR4nge]

GTS 2016

[@dylanterrio6530]

Best gts batch I’ve had hands down

[@ryandees6044]

Comments help and for thanksgiving I’m thankful y’all give me something to look forward to. Cheers boys

[@kjberry84]

Love that wilderness trail shirt! Favorite BT products I've had (so far): 21 THH, Stagg jr batch 14. Honorable mention OWA store pick (beat 21 old rip head to head blind) and a southern Illinois baby saz pick.

[@gatordave551]

The best I ever had so far was a 2018 William Larue Weller. I may never get a better one but I will keep tasting all the bourbon just in case :)

[@VinegarAndSaltedFries]

Favorite was a Store Barrel pick of Eagle Rare. A lot of times I get a slight harshness in the midpallete of Eagle Rare bottles but this one didn’t have that. It was just that lovely creamy all the way thru.

[@thebishopcracker]

I love all of Buffalo Trace, but... Weller 12 and Weller 107 are my absolute favorites. Their quality is just so high!

[@LeatherDaddy97]

This is why whiskey is fun, i tried weller 12 recently and absolutely hated it. So many different things for different people

[@christianeshelman8195]

@@LeatherDaddy97 I agree, it’s a my local bar, so I gave it a try. I like the cheaper Special Reserve much more. Probably paid the same for a 5th as I did for the double of 107.

[@FriarPop]

Weller 12 is terrible lol

[@scottschemahorn7151]

EH Taylor Small Batch is my favorite BT product I've tasted. But I also have an Eagle Rare Store Pick that is freaking outstanding.

[@robertbrown8318]

My favorite Buffalo Trace product is 80 proof Blanton’s Black Label. Sold in Japan for $50, but $350 in the states. It’s wonderful.

[@murrayb29]

Happy thanksgiving BJs! Favorite BT is Stagg store pick, and Blantons sftb.

[@JoeS-NY]

I've never had Rock Hill but I have had the others you blinded today. In addition the BT I've tried Pappy 15, Old rip Van winkle 10, EH Taylor barrel proof, EH small Batch, eagle rare, reg BT, Weller special reserve, Weller 107, (Wow do I have a drinking problem), benchmark ful proof, Blanton's, Stagg (Jr) and drum roll please....................... EH Taylor Barrel proof was my favorite.

[@XANDERXARA]

Great video! Stagg Jr is my favorite so far!

[@johnmorgan233]

favorite was eh taylor barrel proof (at a bar, never seen a bottle for purchase) and a close second was a 2009 stagg

[@wojiaomark]

ETL, just purchased a bottle last week. I’ve had blantons, eagle rare and EHT small batch.

[@LeatherDaddy97]

Interesting that sean said what he likes about buffalo trace is the oak and the finish. My most common personal complaint about buffalo trace products is their lack of flavor and lack of a finish. Goes to show just how different people will get different experiences from whiskies.

[@danielevans1973]

My first ever Buffalo Trace I tried was Blanton's before I was really even into bourbon. However, Eagle Rare is my favorite BT that I've had.

[@aaronatkins5520]

Love the bud heavy 6 pack along the wall. Happy Turkey Day boys. Dan your are bad influence. Broke a WT 101 on a double bottle flip at 8 am this morning!

[@BourbonJunkies]

Bud heavy is a staple and I refuse to not have at least some around. Damnit dude you aren't supposed to drop it...

[@jpclaridge28]

EH Taylor SB is my favorite. I think your order is spot on.

[@Sea-Jay]

Favorite I’ve tried: ER17. Favorite I’ve owned: Stagg Jr b12. Happy Thanksgiving!

[@mjolnir9855]

Fav Buffalo trace product is Wellers, absolutely. Special reserve is the normal go-to, but Antieque 101....chef kiss!

[@LeeHanyoPhoto]

Best BT product I've ever had was a pour of GTS 2019 at Whiskey Row in Salt Lake City. Probably the best pour of bourbon I've ever had too, it was amazing.

[@herigonz0125]

WLW is probably my favorite Buffalo Trace product, but really I have found all of their main lineup to be great. I've never had a bad pour of Blantons and would say that was easily my favorite for years. More recently, was shocked at how much I have really oved the Buffalo Trace Kosher Rye. Delicious!

[@trZachJones]

Great blind gentleman. I can’t believe Dan had all buffalo trace in the Matt madness finally and got fried like a turkey on thanksgiving. Happy thanksgiving gents! 🥃

[@jthomas0298]

My favorite is my EH Taylor BP 130.2 Batch 9

[@brentross9233]

EHT Rye is probably my favorite Buffalo Trace I've had, from the standard line. I think EHT Barrel Proof would be my favorite, but never had it. My favorite BTAC is Thomas Handy.

[@TheSlowoldman]

My favorite BT product I've ever had is WLW..... sublime. I am also a huge fan of EHT barrel proof.

[@OutsideTheStar]

My favorite so far is Stagg 22A.

[@michaeljohnston7005]

Col Taylor Small Batch is a good daily. Still looking for Barrel Proof though

[@RingerDaClown]

I just got my very first Buffalo Trace. So far the only BT product I've had. It was all gone in under a week. And I haven't been able to find more. I missed blanton at my local store by one day.

[@darinmartin9721]

My fave is the E.H. Taylor barrel proof. The proof is in the pour!

[@rogerrandall5140]

My favorite right now is a Eagle Rare Store pick🥃👍👋. Cheers and Happy Thanksgiving 🦃

[@BourbonJunkies]

ER picks are so good!

[@Vonnegut40]

William Larue Weller, which I found just once at an affordable price in Venice Beach, was the most delicious BT whiskey I've tasted. Below that I like Stagg Jr and EH Taylor Small Batch, but I've never had Elmer, or Rockhill.

[@greircrabtree6940]

Weller Antique is my favorite that I've tried

[@sapefley]

Favorite BT product that I've had the opportunity to taste is between Stagg Jr and Tom Handy. I'd love to try more of the BTAC line.

[@primaltone]

I have never had any of the high end coveted versions so for me it is EH Taylor small batch

[@ReverseProof]

Stagg Jr. Batch #13,14,15,16,17 followed by a EHT Sib, Blantons Sib, ER.

[@TheGreglamont]

You guys rock... I blinded Buffalo Trace vs Eagle Rare last week and could not believe that I picked the BT over ER.... it was so odd to me...

[@grapesodapopinski571]

Totally fucking agree. Eagle rare has a funk that turns me a bit off.

[@bourbonbar6715]

3 favorites from Buffalo that I’ve had. EH Taylor Barrel proof, George T Stagg, pappy 15 🥃🥃 cheers junkies

[@markgiffin5938]

Favorite BT product I have actually tried: EH Taylor BP and it’s probably my all time favorite juice I have ever had.

[@jameskeating1952]

My favorite is Stagg, the EHT sb, then EHT sm batch, but I haven’t tried the ETL I bought recently…

[@jaredtaylor7777]

Favorite bottles of BT I’ve had have been batches of all the hitters that we all chase, GTSs Jrs and EH Taylor barrel proofs. Of the non LEs, it’s been certain bottles of eagle rare, but some are stinkers too! For what I’ve paid trying to acquire mashbill 2 bottles, I’ll stick to Col taylor when I can find it at retail. Always solid.

[@richlira7873]

Favorite BT product is probably an EHT product and I'm leaning towards this SiB pick I got from a bar. EHT BP is a close second.

[@circlecitybourbon]

Eht single barrel & Stagg jr batch 17. Cypb close 3rd

[@Jeremysturgill86]

Great video as always! Is there a reason the Angels Envy on the bottom middle shelf is turned around backwards or is it actually forwards and I’m just crazy?

[@adoyleBU]

Best BT product I've ever tasted was probably '20 WLW (it's really 1A and 1B with PVW15). Non-BTAC/VW edition: Stagg Jr. store pick. Would love to put it up against GTS it was that good.

[@JakeTSloan]

Actually tasted, it’s gonna be eagle rare. I haven’t had anything crazy, but from their “standard” line including some weller it’s my favorite for my money

[@tommyjusz]

favorite BT is EHT BP. There is a small liquor store group that has a bar in a few of there locations. Could not believe how good it was

[@chasecraig4280]

My favorite BT product I’ve tasted is EHT SB

[@deanc8077]

My favorite EH Taylor Small Batch. Outstanding my want to try btac is Rock Hill Farms. Supposed to be same mash bill as Blanton's but higher proof.

[@nicholascerrato700]

My favorite bottle I own is 107 or kosher rye recipe. Favorite I’ve tasted is old rip. But overall 107 is one of my favorite bottles period.

[@barryfoster8311]

My absolute favorite Buffalo Trace whiskey is GTS. After that would be the EHT bourbons, not the rye. Have really enjoyed all of the EHT bourbons. Some more than others but all excellent.

[@mwn1218]

EH Taylor barrel proofs are my favorite

[@taylorharkey7442]

Neither are anything special from what I’ve had. But if I had to pick one I’d go mashbill 1. I’ve had a store pick BT that heavily tops the scale in mashbill 1’s favor though.

[@Eskimohow]

The Buffalo Trace Koesher high rye is amazing

[@TheOnion12]

My favorite is Weller CYPB but that’s impossible to find

[@speedyspower21]

Happy Thanksgiving. Fun video.

[@bigreb62]

Weller 12, EHT Single barrel

[@stuffandwhiskey]

Favorite ever? 2018 WLW based on what we’ve tried, Stagg Jr Batch 16 for tbat next tier down, and Eagle Rare for their more regular offerings. Mashbill 1 > 2 for us, but that said, Buffalo Trace isn’t in our Top 3 distilleries. Too sweet and not spicy enough for us.

[@erickoscs5998]

Happy Thanksgiving Junkies! Can you link the Buffalo Trace art work in the background of Dan's Original Grain ad please and thank you :)

[@trosk7703]

Had stagg jr batch 3 last night… favorite for sure

[@DarrellHudson12]

Stagg Jr 17 and 15 were amazing.

[@true-fiction]

Fantastic episode!

[@jadenchampion7025]

Wish the discount code worked for the BT limited edition watch 😭

[@dontegboro1]

EH Taylor SmB and Stagg (Jr) are my favorites.

[@dylanterrio6530]

Sazerac 18 from 2007 / gts from 2016 144 proof I think were the best follow ups , William weller , eh barrel proof , pappy 15 were top anything else is good for retail , biggest let down weller single barrel and cypb for sure

[@49erFanMatt]

Favorite so far was Old Rip Van Winkle. The last of the bottle was so much cherry. It was amazing. Wish I had another bottle.

[@lfish21.]

I have a bottle sitting on the shelf unopened... I don't wanna love it and basically never be able to get it again.

[@allanhoppe1521]

I haven’t been able to get anything but Eagle Rare an it is really good to me! I would love to find some of the others you tested, live in NC and it’s frickin stupid to find any allocated brands,I finally got some Blantons and Buffalo Trace EH Taylor is never here! Sucks

[@djbeacon6895]

Favorite BT product = 2017 and then very close with 2020 GTS.

[@jayz2751]

Pappy Lot B is the best I’ve ever tried. I get a lot of that green apple from Eagle rare.

[@braxtondavis679]

My favorite Buffalo trace product I’ve had is eagle rare 10 yr

[@blove932]

Great video guys!

[@gingergeezer3685]

Where can one get a Rock Hill? Never seen one in the wild. Not interested in second hand market. Just got to try Eagle Rare this Thanksgiving. I need to try way more products to make an intelligent choice. Only had : BT, Blanton's, Weller , EH Taylor.

[@willow514]

I remember you dropping one. Wasn’t it a Early Times?

[@BourbonJunkies]

Maybe...........

[@brienburke4382]

Weller Antique is my fav BT that I tasted. But all that I have had is Weller SR, Antique, Eagle Rare, Buffalo Trace and Stagg Jr. Stagg Jr proof smacked me around, so it wasn’t till the 3rd sip that I started tasting it. 😅

[@ArcheryTalkVideo]

Sean's shirt is amazing.

[@user-iz7fh6xx7b]

EHT is my fav, never had ETL or RHF tho..😢

[@Hellboy700]

New Tag Line, "Welcome to the Bourbon Junkies, we prove absolutely nothing and we learned nothing. Like, comment, subscribe." hehe EHT Barrel Proof or Stagg Jr. Happy Thanksgiving, y'all!

[@JohnKay79]

Best Buffalo Trace product I've had...Pappy 23, 5 years ago at the TPC Sawgrass Club House, for fifty bucks a pour...

[@joelpena399]

E.h. Taylor, buffalo trace,eagle rare, weller special reserve. It's darn difficult to find those rare ones when you live in Brooklyn

[@bobkuhn861]

I've had all of Pappy's but my favorite is Eagle Rare. 😊💖🐶🐶🦃🥃

[@brorjace1980]

Weller Full Proof. Never had a chance to drink any BTAC.

[@Daniel_Scott89]

My favorite buffalo trace product I’ve ever tasted is easily GTS. The best Buffalo Trace product I’ve owned is EHTBP, it’s phenomenal

[@blakesmith6575]

2020 GTS best BT I’ve had

[@paulgoss7596]

E.H. Taylor barrel proof is my favorite that I have had
