We entered this pairing into our blind sample pool because they've both scored highly for Josh in prior head-to-head blind tastings, they're both barrel proof powerhouses from storied Kentucky distilleries, and they're relatively close in suggested retail pricing (despite a wide disparity in secondary pricing). Of note is that many people often talk about how "hot" Old Forester Barrel Strength is, while George T Stagg is often praised for its aggressive profile. This matchup was mostly for fun and to see how they compared to each other.

🏆 OUR SCORING SYSTEM EXPLAINED 🏆

We give each product a REAL WORLD SCORE based on the taste, (nose, flavor, experience), price and availability (retail rating), and whether we'd buy it again or not (consumer rating).

All of this is informed entirely by our double-blind tasting.

Products are scored on a 10-point scale, but think of our 10-point scale as more of a bell curve.

REAL WORLD SCORES in the 4-6 point range are average, solid products. The further we get from that middle range, the more or less exceptional a product is to us.


DISCLAIMER: Our scoring is merely a reference point to compare pours over time. We believe whiskey is to be enjoyed and shared with those you care about--that's what our channel is all about. Whiskey, just like life, is best when you don't take it too seriously and simply enjoy the journey. Thanks so much for watching. Cheers!
