Intro:
This is the 10th Batch of Stagg Jr - a ten-ish year old barrel proof release from Buffalo Trace featuring mashbill 1. Stock image.
-
Nose:
Bright cherry, and other red fruit. Honey, lots of cocoa, oak and pepper. Strong cola and cherry note, reminiscent of some early batches of ECBP. Some ethanol, not a ton.
-
Taste:
Thick, rich, powerful. Lots of heat, but balanced against a great body and lots of viscosity. Cherry, vanilla cream, oak, toffee and tobacco. Fruity and juicy.
-
Finish:
Long, powerful but a bit hot although not punishing for the proof. Oakier here, which balances well against the cherry, fruits, vanilla and toffee. Not too dry or tannic.
-
Overall:
Well done once again, this release of Stagg Jr seems to show that BT has found and can maintain their impressive stride with the bottling.
