George T. Stagg Bourbon (Fall 2019)
Bourbon — Kentucky, USA
Reviewed May 5, 2023 (edited May 6, 2023)Nose: Strong honey flavors with smaller notes of burnt caramel and cherry. Layered notes of dark oak and leather. Palate: Light notes of sweetness but rich with fruit and cherry. A great amount of oak and a bit of vanilla. Initial hit of spice followed by the smoothness. Finish: A thick finish and lingering mouthfeel. Large amounts of slightly sweet and bitter oak feel that last for a long time. Tannins are pretty prevalent after a long while. Overall the taste and smell of this bourbon is delightful. I would have expected the bourbon to be sweeter but the complex wood notes and long finish make this a wonderful high proof dram. -

Sweet cookie and hint of oak to finish the tongue. Finish: Very light finish a lingering sweet oak and vanilla notes. Slight thickness at the very end.
