027 - No Stagg Release For 2021?!

Buffalo Trace has announced the 2021 release of George T. Stagg wasn't up to par with their standards. And, with that, they will not be releasing any George T. Stagg this year. 

As the most distributed BTAC bottle, it's going to cause some serious disruption in the allocation-season ecosystem. 

However, there are a few silver linings to this, and a lot of heartaches are spared for those who are looking to score their first BTAC this season.
