Stagg Jr Barrel Proof Bourbon Batch 1

Bourbon — Kentucky, USA

Batch 12. Just phenomenal! It's still damn hot, but so packed full of flavors with a thick, viscous mouthfeel. Tasting notes are spot on. Brown sugar, vanilla, cinnamon, oak, cherry. About as close to GTS as you can get.

Easy to drink, nice marriage of sweet fruity pear/apple flavors and peat. Sweet yet smoky finish.

Somewhat smoother and less peaty than other Islays- still plenty of smoke, rubber, brine, salt. Bit of lemon. A good dram!

Nice peated effort from Balvenie. Not as balanced as other drams that do peat all the time, but a great-tasting whisky.

Big fan of this. Was a little worried whether the peat would be overwhelming but it's an amazing whisky. Can't wait to try the Uga and the Corry.

As advertised peat bomb. Find myself liking Laga and Ardbeg more for that peaty Islay style.
