George T. Stagg Bourbon (Fall 2018)

Nose- confectioners sugar, caramel, vanilla toffee, brown sugar, candied ginger, peaches, musty oak, cherries. Super complex nose Palate- burst of cinnamon candies coated in sugar initially, leading to caramel, dark cherries, plums, candied ginger, brown sugar, dry wood, old leather, vanilla, tobacco, a whole bouquet of flavors... the list goes on and on. Finish- incredibly long, drying finish with notes of cinnamon spice, heavy oak, vanilla, caramel, fresh fruits... the list goes on and on. Just like the palate One of the most complex whiskies that i’ve tried. A true masterpiece of bourbon. No complaints whatsoever. Perfect balance and drinks way below its proof.

I hate how much I love this. Not worth the price in the least, but it’s the best bourbon I’ve tried. I’m a noob who got caught in the hype machine. My next whiskey goal is to find something readily available that can measure up to this.
