George T. Stagg Bourbon 2018 124.9 Proof
This extremely hearty whiskey ages in new charred oak barrels for no less than 15 years. Straight out of the barrel, uncut and unfiltered, the taste is powerful, flavorful and intense. Open it up with a few drops of water, sit back and ponder the wonders of the universe.
Tasting Notes
The first sip coats the mouth and has a medium viscosity. Notes of char, tobacco, caramel, and vanilla are present. The second sip erupts with toffee, smoke, and dark chocolate notes. The spirit warms the mouth and settles with a heat in the chest. This third sip is an incredible mixture of all the tasting notes listed above and permeates the entire mouth.
The nose will entice you with a complex array of notes including cigar tobacco, espresso, smoke, char, vanilla, cherry, cinnamon, and oak.
The finish is long and pleasant. The heat from this bourbon is evident across the top of the tongue and stimulated a Pavlovian response. Notes of smoke, oak, and char are initially present. These favors progress into cinnamon and dark roast coffee. As the bourbon lingers faint notes of cinnamon and clove emerge.
