Stagg Jr Barrel Proof Bourbon Batch 13

Wow wow more complex then I was expecting, the cherry chocolate blast off start to the oak/ toffee and spice, finish is longggggg and thick and well this is just plain delicious

Orange, vanilla, and clove on the nose. Heavy vanilla, cinnamon, orange and a hint of oak and leather on the palate. Plenty of spice from the proof that has a long strong finish. An excellent pour

Man, this stuff is good! Just did a side by side comparison with this and batch 12. I gotta say that this one just edges out the other batch. More of the traditional bourbon flavors like oak and vanilla come through on this batch and it has a slightly thicker mouthfeel. The palate on this batch is also a little bit drier but both are amazing with long finishes. Great pour!!

Nose - chocolate, tobacco, cinnamon, alcohol, and oak. There's a masterful dusty oaky rich aromatic notes. Sweet oak. Taste - oak chocolate. Maybe a walnut? Rich vanilla. This is buffalo trace's oak with their chocolate cherry notes, but low on the cherry and more the oak. This is their show case stuff. That said the nose is kinda meh.....the flavor is pretty wow. I'm doing a 2.75 and that's huge knock on the nose. Also the flavor is too alcoholic.
