Stagg Jr Barrel Proof Bourbon Batch 16

Smells buttery and oaky. Does not drink like a 130.9 proof bourbon. Creamy mocha, brown sugar notes. A little peppery but pleasant

Rich, bold, but not as hot as I was expecting. Brown sugar and chocolate covered cherries. Medium finish.

I would give this a 5 but I can't quite put it on the same level as King of Kentucky. However, this is my favorite of the semi-findable bourbons on the market. Big flavor profile and one of the longest finishes I have ever experienced. Big taste of spicy caramel all the way through. Love it!
