George T. Stagg Bourbon (Fall 2015)

Finished the bar bottle at Frank Grisanti's in Memphis 6-17-16. Big but not HUGE like W Larue W. Nose was brown sugar and almost cedar instead of oak. Light on citrus with surprisingly little red fruit. Taste was full with expected burnt molasses and nutty almond. Hint of tangerine and light baking spice. Long and strong finish with white pepper sprinkled over caramel pie w/chocolate. Drank neat because I was searching for certain familiar flavors that never surfaced? Below the 14 on my score and no match for the 14 WLW. I'll do a 88 only because I paid so much! :)

Drank at ignite burger bar April 3, 2016 believe this was the year. Had amazing flavor with a little ice

Neat, this whiskey will f*ck your face. Dry oak blankets the show, but plenty of standard bourbon notes are also to be found: vanilla, caramel, toasted corn, and brown sugar. This is a superb American whiskey, bumped down to four stars because the price is laughably high.
