Stagg Jr Barrel Proof Bourbon Batch 16

My first go around with SJr. And did not disappoint. Delicious char, vanilla and caramel flavors. Nice finish.

Oak and vanilla, alcohol forward. Cinnamon csndy. Some syrup. Finish is shorter than prior batch. Really solid, full flavor.

Amazingly smooth for over 120 proof!

5280 club with daveco pick 133.4 proof, glencairn, deep copper color Instaggnito sticker Sweet vanilla, orange, and spice in the nose. More dry than sweet, although some brown sugar presents itself after the first sip. Some cinnamon and clove, baking spice, raisin and waffle, followed by subtle syrup. Subtle char in the out breath, but a long dry finish where some orange and chocolate dance in the senses. Good oak tannins linger long with the vanilla For the proof, this drinks very well balanced. I’m sure some drops of water will change the profile at a later time.

New bottle. Neat. Nose spicy buttery oak with vanilla and caramel. Taste is sweet brown sugar and dark fruit up front with and dry baking spice oaky finish. I’ll revisit in 30 days or so after the bottle gets some air.

Orange peal and caramel nose with a ginger bread and caramel taste. Long toasted barrel gingerbread finish.
