A lot of work to get this bottle, I am slightly disappointed in the pour. Overall I get grapes and cherries on the noise with a hint of vanilla. The palate is sweet at first then turns spicy mid way through with a slight cherry note on the back palate. The finish is medium short with a lot of burn and some mild oak. This is a mouth coating pour but overall not amazing, I would like to compare to other Stagg Jr. batches. Overall not a bad pour but defiantly a slow sipper.
