Reviewed October 26, 2019 (edited October 11, 2020)So this was either the most expensive bourbon I've ever bought or a great deal. 600 points for the RIGHT to buy, 1 point = 1 dollar spent in the store or a great 50 dollar bottle. I'm hoping BTAC is 1500 points but I'm betting 2500. Nose - Cherry oak buffalo trace warehouse. Yeah I can't smell some of these Buffalo Trace products and not smell being on the ground there more than a decade ago. As it warms up and just sits out it gets super super sweet. Taste - Cherry, oaked sweetness, vanilla, more cherry, caramel. Oh man, I'll be doing a blind ECBP and Stagg Jr soon. I might note it up and add it here. Bottom line is this is a perfect example of classic bourbon notes at an extremely high proof (I think this is the highest proof since the first release). I'm not wowed and I didn't expect to be. It's just awesome quality bourbon that should be available and on the shelves but the bourbon boom or buffalo traces marketing department have decided to make impossible for some parts of the country to get. 3.0 due to color, nose, proof, body, and just being darn tasty bourbon. Nobody who likes bourbon won't be happy with this one.60.0 USD per Bottle -

Reviewed September 9, 2019 (edited January 23, 2020)Great BP. We tasted it blind against ECBP A119 and neat in a glencairn and it was neck and neck. The Stagg Jr is definitely alcohol forward on the smell but the flavors were much deeper than I anticipated - I got more sweet than spicy but it was balanced out nicely with a deep woody flavor. It didn't have quite the mouthfeel that the A119 had but the flavors lingered for a long time. I tasted it again and added a couple of drops of water to open it up a bit but IMO its best served neat.60.0 USD per Bottle
