Tastes

Unique hot camp fire / cigar smoke peat smoke on the nose. Fantastically hot bunna flavor - apples, melon, chocolate chip cookies, red licorice, Citrus, orange rind. Pretty damn good.

Tastes just like a cask strength JW black. Nuff said. 😐

When I'm bored with bills, TV, red tape, and work- I go to distiller.com in search of little shreds of excitement, excitement to find information that might send me on a journey find something unique, something secret, something that gets me excited again, perhaps like when I was younger. I'd imagine many of you are in the same boat - after finding family, success, education and organization in you life - what's next? I think the "what's next?" premise is the conduit that binds us together here. Whiskey tickles parts of our brain that were once easily excitable, but are now more numb, predictable, it jump starts the parts of the senses that often say "been there done that". George T. Stagg whiskey is a wonderful example of something special, perhaps secret to most, made with care, uniqueness, and of top notch quality. And it's made with magic of sorts: somehow only flavored with yeast, clear distillate, and old wood.. now; If you're a whiskey connoisseur - its easy to split hairs over allocation, age statement, ownership, politics, secondary market, and the obvious notion of "why the hell can't I get that bottle too??" - however (quiet voice), step way way way back from your whiskey biases and daily life tools for a moment, go to a quiet place, no screens , no screaming kids, no boss, off line - and take a nosing / neat sip of George T. Stagg- just as it is... Fantastic from start to finish- its just fantastic. ..Hot? yes - hot enough to make the demons think your mouth is a gateway back to hell -and its good. Complex? Yes; insanely,.. dozens of scents and flavors all packed into one- but it's not like jamming 5 different flavors of slushie into one cup - no no, all the flavors are decipherable and mature; this is pure adulting at its finest! ..- I'm just happy that this stuff exists. Cheers!

Light, fluffy, peat is not overpowering or disjointed, nose is lemons, vapor rub, and smoke. The body tastes of fruit and citrus. Quick finish- ——-the name is really deceiving ——- it’s by NO means a gnarly, smoke bomb, full bodied, and complex peated whisky like ugi or octomore. I’m gonna say that nothing stood out enough for me to ever seek this out again or buy a bottle.

Nose: butter, raw fruit juice. Palate: entry is one of the best and unique Iv had! It burns on entry at FIRST and smooths out into a fantastic melody of sugar daddy’s, black cherries, strawberry, lemon, melon, and watermelon bubble gum. Finish: mother f#

Exceptional for a 12 year, Very very spicy for a 43abv, but it’s nice.

Jiminy Crickets this is good, it about knocked me off my feet, my eyeballs about popped out of my head in amazement looking at the glass in my hand. Holy crap!!... I can’t even muster the words - perfection in a bottle. Until now; Ardbeg Ugi took the cake for complexity- but I think this one might have it beat- I don’t think I’v ever tasted any substance on this earth with so many flavor elements jam packed in to it- - ever. 🥰 it’s incredibly delicious.

Absolutely incredible for the age. This bottle is jam packed with flavor and complexity. It’s very sweet, viscous, and the abv is just perfect- the sweet potato thing is there but is subtle and warranted, it’s only 1 part in about 8 different notes that I pick up on. Well worth the price. Fantastic.

Norman, Ian- are you serious??? more NAS whiskey? Enough with this stuff guys...heck with it, ...like glendronach better anyway- they have finer juice for the money.👍🏼

Bland, forgettable, bottom shelf quality- I wanted to like this one but it was overly basic.The oak age is there but it’s not warranted.
