George T. Stagg Bourbon (Fall 2019)

Lots of cherry and very smooth.

This is by far the best George T Stagg I have ever had! The nose opens up with burnt brown sugar, molasses, barrel spices and caramel corn. One of the best noses if any bourbon I have ever had! You still get the ETOH burn if you inhale too deeply but it’s still amazing! The palate continues with toffee, caramel apples this time, barrel spices, deep oak undertones and that amazing burnt brown sugar. The ETOH is undeniable but tolerable given the proof. The finish continues with a whisp of smoke, spice, oak and those caramel apples. This year’s proof was perfect! Best BTAC OF THE YEAR and the best Stagg of all time!
