As a casual bourbon enthusiast I'm not sure I follow the discussion. Is the point that Smoke Wagon products aren't worthy of being allocated or that they're generally not as good as people think?
I really like both SM's Uncut & Unfiltered & Uncut & Unfiltered The Younger.

I cracked a Stagg 22B this week as well. I thought it was very solid, although it seems that opinions vary a fair amount on this batch. I really do not do secondary, but I would buy again at retail for sure.

I have been a Huge Stagg Jr fan. I was so pumped to get the 22B. I find it just awful. Lots of chemical taste. The finish is good but I would pour it out if I was not sampling it out to friends.

I've said this before.

12/13: Amazing
14/15: Great pours
16: Trash
17: Better
18/22B: worse

Glad you guys like it though.

The only one I have to compare with is the Batch 15. I think it's (Batch 19 22b) solid for my taste, but I'll need to do a side by side to see how it really compares (as opposed to just going off of memory lol).

Stagg is obviously great great great bourbon.

I'm sure I consumed WAY too much last year lol

Hopefully, I desire it again

Last year I got to be part of a 10 sample blind for SJR batches 9-17 + 1 store pick. Definitely some stinker batches when comparing them head to head, and for me only 2 batches scored objectively well.

Blind tasting is absolutely the best way to learn what you like, and to stay away from hype bottles

11, 12, & 15 were my top 3 behind the store pick. Nothing else was even close to those 3 in my scores.

I have had two different store pics. 135 and 137 proofs. Both are very good , IMO

We did something similar in one of my groups.
Batches 9 through 18 and one store pick.

9, 12 and 15 were absolute standouts

Cracked my King Ranch last night. As much as I hate on gimmicks, this OF product was actually pretty good.

What did y'all think?

I think it's pretty solid. Wish I would have bought a couple bottles when they were all over the shelves around Xmas time.

Good to know. I've got 12, 13, 17 and a store pick. I didn't love 15.
MarathonAg12

Honestly when I'm not doing blinds, I love that 13 so much. So many people slept on it because it was "low proof". But man, it's such a good pour.

These are the standouts for me as well. 9 is my favorite bourbon ever. 12 and 15 and fantastic. 17 was also pretty good

Really good Bourbon but come on Four Roses. "Super Premium". I am holding out for "Super Duper Premium"
