George T. Stagg Bourbon (Fall 2020)

96 This is one of the best bourbons I have tasted. Others may not like it as we all have different palettes, but I really enjoyed this. The balance of flavor and proof was done very well for such a high proof bourbon. The nose is great. Very dark chocolate with intense vanilla. The flavors were excellent including A dark chocolate fudge, caramel, vanilla, cherry coke. Spicy finish lingered for me. Was definitely impressed. It is strong but I could not tell how strong it was due to the “pop” of flavor that explodes in each sip. I will be buying a bottle.

Better than 2019 stagg , still not superior as previous releases .
