Overview

At this point I think most of us know that Buffalo Trace dominates the hearts and minds of many whiskey drinkers. What is often lost upon some is that Buffalo Trace is owned by The Sazerac Company, who also happens to own Barton 1792, a distillery about 60 miles away from Buffalo Trace. Barton 1792 for the most part gets less attention, although the limited releases such as 1792 Sweet Wheat, Port Finish, High Rye, and 12 Year get varying levels of elevated attention. Although both are owned by the same parent company, Barton 1792 does things a little differently than Buffalo Trace, using a different mashbill (although I can’t specify how different) and different bottle shape (that counts right?) among other things.

One thing they do have in common is that Buffalo Trace and 1792 both offer a high proof bourbon in the $50-60 MSRP range: Buffalo Trace with Stagg Jr and 1792 with 1792 Full Proof Bourbon. Stagg Jr is actually cask strength, hence why the ABV of every batch is different, while 1792 is bottled at “full proof”, meaning the same as the entry proof of the white dog into the barrel. They’re technically different but the end result is similar as both are still above 62% ABV. With these two bourbons from the same parent company and similar proofs, let’s find out just how similar they are in this Stagg Jr vs 1792 Full Proof Bourbon comparison.

The below table outlines key facts and figures for both bourbons.

And The Winner Is...Stagg Jr

I hate to say it again, but I prefer Stagg Jr Batch 7. Stagg Jr Batch 7 and 1792 Full Proof have bourbon-y overlap, yet it’s clear that they’ve lived different lives

Just watched some of the YouTube and figured I would compile/repost the list for the TLDRs

Do your worst!

It really does, I swear!

For context I'm a Refuse Driver (Garbage man) & today I was on food waste. After I'd tipped I was checking the wagon for any defects when I spotted a lone pea balanced on the lifts.

I said "hey look, an escaPEA"

No one near me but it didn't half make me laugh for a good hour or so!

Edit: I can't believe how much this has blown up. Thank you everyone I've had a blast reading through the replies 😂

I'm surprised it hasn't decade.

They’re on standbi

Please report and discuss what interesting products you're seeing at stores today.

Most highly allocated products are still fully hidden on the new OHLQ.com but we don't fully understand the logic behind it yet. Some new products that were added to the system on 7/1/21 and are reportedly already available in stores still do not even have a product page on the new website. Many new products from 8/1/21 are also missing.

Pilot on me!!

Dad jokes are supposed to be jokes you can tell a kid and they will understand it and find it funny.

This sub is mostly just NSFW puns now.

If it needs a NSFW tag it's not a dad joke. There should just be a NSFW puns subreddit for that.

Edit* I'm not replying any longer and turning off notifications but to all those that say "no one cares", there sure are a lot of you arguing about it. Maybe I'm wrong but you people don't need to be rude about it. If you really don't care, don't comment.

When I got home, they were still there.

I won't be doing that today!

Hi I just want to say thanks. I've been lurking on this sub for a few months and even though I wanted to find a relevant question to ask, I never found something that hadn't already been thoroughly and thoughtfully answered. From where to find vegetarian meals all the way to how to grab a birthday cake in town, thank you for the awesome advice that helped make a special family vacation a success. Some of our trip compiled below in case it helps someone in the future.

Background: my dad chose new orleans to celebrate his 70th birthday as a family. We had a total of 6 adults in our family, including two seniors, my pregnant sister, two pescatarians, and one vegetarian, none of us are heavy drinkers (at least not usually)and no kids. We hoped this would be an extra special trip because it was the first vacation some of us had been on in two years and because celebrating my dad's 70th was a big deal after some recent health issues.

Tuesday: arrived, checked in to the Eliza Jane after taking the clear advice not to stay in an airbnb. I get all of the reasons why but was still a little worried since having communal space seemed key for our family to enjoy each other's company. The hotel was awesome and in a great location but for groups worried about not having a living room just make sure your hotel has an outdoor courtyard. It was awesome! Dad chose mothers for dinner and I wasn't going to argue, was pleasantly surprised that it was better than I thought. After reading opinions on here I was expecting more of a times Square Bubba Gump experience🙂 A lot of places are indeed closed on Tuesdays.

Wednesday: walked to Cafe du monde and got to hear music along the way. Then took my parents to the presbytere museum for Mardi gras and Katrina exhibits which I would also recommend. Drove over to Parkway for lunch, delicious poboys. Im sure its frowned upon but it was November so I got the Thanksgiving poboy and have zero regrets. I love stuffing. My bf and I ventured out on our own that evening. Im the only one in the group who hasn't been to New Orleans before so I reluctantly decided it was necessary to go to Bourbon Street. We had several drinks at Fritzels and it was perfect, got there early so it was empty and we had great seats for when the band set up. Then we walked to dinner at Seaworthy, such a nice place for oysters. I loved it!

Thursday: pretty hungover so my family went to the aquarium without us and seemed to enjoy it. Lunch at the Gumbo shop which

You take away their little brooms

This morning, my 4 year old daughter.

Daughter: I'm hungry

Me: nerves building, smile widening

Me: Hi hungry, I'm dad.

She had no idea what was going on but I finally did it.

Thank you all for listening.

There hasn't been a post all year!

It’s pronounced “Noel.”

After all his first name is No-vac

What, then, is Chinese rap?
