Stagg Barrel Proof Bourbon 22A

High proof on the nose but durprisingly smooth with some cinnamon spice

Aroma - honey, alcohol soaked dark fruits, caramel dominate the nose. I keep picking up a big rye note as well that elevate the complexity. Vanilla, aak. burnt marshmallow and hint of black licorice really help develop complexity. This is candle-worthy IMO Taste - Blast of vanilla, caramel and citrus.. (some vibes of orange creamsicle mixed with a shit ton of caramel). Some oak notes For the proof it is quite decadent and is well hidden. Overall - Wow. This batch is incredible. I’m not a huge BT fan as all of them are overpriced at most stores but this one is really damn good. The finish is long and full of heat, caramel, and burnt marshmallow .... every few sips I get a wave of orange creamsicle that ebbs and flows on the finish as well which is awesomel
