George T. Stagg Bourbon (Fall 2020)

Big brow sugar nose and musty wood Cherry flavor.

Holy shit, here we go. On the nose absolutely decadent, chocolate, oak char, vanilla, cherry syrup. On the palate full, viscous, oak, huge doses of vanilla and cherry, with a slow building burn. The finish is long and terrific, it's full and rich like a dessert. I want more, but I'm not willing to spend the outrageous amounts of money people are demanding for it now.

First time trying this, surprised to find it. Hard to remember all the notes as I’ve slept since then however, the smell notes were better than the taste notes. I remember getting vanilla & caramel. Hot on the palate but overall delicious!

Nose: Caramel, dark fruit, vanilla, cacao, coffee. Palate: Caramel and vanilla on the entry. Cacao, tobacco, dried cherries appear after. Some black tea and spice at the end. High alcohol burn. Does very well with water. Finish: Medium-Long. Bitter cacao notes dominate. Dries the mouth (tannic) A nice bourbon with a more complexity than the normal caramel and vanilla notes. Big bold flavors and a very memorable dram. This would be hard to pass up at MSRP, though the bitter notes were a bit too strong for my taste.

Dark chocolate and caramel on the nose. Layers. No surprise you can taste 130+ proof but still smooth. Peanuts and oily texture with a strong but solid finish. Luxury.

Man oh man this is better than the hype. The proof is shocking, but it’s better for it. Aroma is baker’s chocolate, dulce de leche, green tea, vanilla cream. Loads of body, it’s big. Long finish, some red hots. Following sweet BBQ ribs, it becomes sweeter.
