Tastes

A little spicier than 24a. Also has a strong, candy like grape note. Another solid batch

Fresh crack. Hot on the nose; no surprise Taste is very complex. Boozy custard, sweet roasted peanuts; oily Medium length finish Can’t wait to revisit

If you like 1910, you’ll love this. All the flavors are dailed up to 11! Better mouthfeel too

The balance of proof to flavor makes this highly enjoyable to me personally. This isn’t as complex as older batches ,but it still commands your attention when you have it. This is at its best when I have it as my 2nd or 3rd pour of the night. It’s much more approachable and you find more of the subtle flavors.

Starts off hot, but that’s Stagg in general. Lots of sweet fruit; candy like. Another solid batch but I liked 18 a little bit more.

This drinks a little hot for the proof point. It also has a young note that is very prominent. Honestly, I’m a little bummed that I paid 60 for this. Not bad overall, but I just was wanting a little more quality for the price.

This has a rich, funky nose. I was pleasantly surprised how good this is on the palate. The richness gives way to the sweetness and wood notes. I don’t get any heat from this(90.4 proof). Short to medium length finish. Overall: interesting, good whiskey. Not worth the money$$$

First impressions: It’s hot right off of the bat, but it lasts forever on the palate. Once the ethanol has evaporated some, the nose is quite enjoyable (rich fruits and sweet oak). The proof is felt but the flavors really pop. This batch has an extra layer of richness and complexity that takes this to another level once you get accustomed to the proof. Classic BT flavors of sweet fruits and oak on full display. Amazing pour

The nose is light vanilla but pleasant. A long, lingering finish of sweet oak is the highlight here even if it is a touch drying. Only major knock against this whiskey for me is that there isn’t a bold enough hit of flavors on the palate. It could use some more proof but maybe there is a reason for that. Maybe the extra water cut the bitterness out? This isn’t abrasive at all, but buttery and creamy. This was an expensive pour, but I really liked it. Having said that, I don’t know if I’d buy a bottle though. I want a barrel proof whiskey if I’m going to spend the money on an expensive bottle ($150+). Good experience overall ~4.3
