Stagg Jr Barrel Proof Bourbon Batch 1

Nose: Vanilla, brown sugar, cherry syrup, nice light wheat, roasted cacao nibs & molasses Nose After Swirl: Lighter, almost floral notes. Palate: Very thick moughteel; oily. Very soft mouthfeel for the 131 proof. Orange, vanilla, brown sugar, DARK chocolate, and a slight barrel oak & dryness. Palate with water drop: Oh my. The HEAT. The SPICE. This pour really opens up after a bit of water. Finish: THERE'S the heat! Beautifully long finish with a sweet heat that lingers.

Very bold and can feel the heat. Robust but full of flavor. Definitely the last pour of the night type of bourbon

Like an amped up blantons. Bold with a little stone fruit finish. Good, but too bold neat for me. Might be better with ice.
