Intro:
This is the 14th Batch of Stagg Jr - a ten-ish year old barrel proof release from Buffalo Trace featuring mashbill 1 at barrel proof.
-
Nose:
Toffee, praline, lots of sticky caramel candies and some light cherry. Lovely and rich on the nose, the proof is definitely apparent but it's not stinging hot.
-
Taste:
Rich on the palate, plenty of caramel, cherry, cocoa. Quite a bit of heat on the palate but with great viscosity. Tons of oak, toffee, brown sugar. Heat grows with time but the viscosity is just wonderful.
-
Finish:
Long finish. Oak structure is perfect with plenty of toffee, caramel, pepper, and cherry tying everything together.
-
Overall:
Once again, Stagg Jr is a powerful invitation to experience some of the best that barrel proof bourbon has to offer.
