Look: Light brown/burnt orange, average lacing, alcohol legs show up. Nose: The nose on Jr is potent. Dark fruits, barrel, vanilla. The high proof gives this almost a perfume level of aroma, super strong. Palate: Sweet on the front of the palate with the vanilla, then the oak barrel follows with the astringency, proof, and dark fruits. Slight spice flows just before the finish. Finish: Barrel, somewhat bitter, with the oak really present as the flavor I get. Did I mention hot? Overall: I really dig the Stagg Jr, and for 50 or so bucks, that seems about right. Definitely take your time, as the heat on this, barrel proofed, is pretty intense. Flavorful, aromatic, great stuff
