Nose: chocolate, dark cherry, grape, cherry Dr Pepper, coffee cake Pallet: spice, grape, cola, cherry, light pepper, hot tomale candy, long finish on tongue Great nose that translates well to pallet. Grape and dark fruit really shines. It’s very balanced. Hot but not overwhelming. Lingers on the tongue for an extended finish. Can’t find much wrong with it.

Some of the best bourbon I’ve ever had in my life. If I could get this for msrp I wouldn’t drink anything else. $130 is right in the middle of secondary/msrp so I’m not too mad. Pretty hot but amazingly oily, coats the mouth. Not too heavy, perfect amount of dark fruits/butterscotch. Oh so good
There is no bad batch of stagg, just some better than others. This one is different than some because the grape soda is the prominent note. Its very good but doesn’t rank up there with some others.
not hot whatsoever. buttery and thin on the front. afterspice and bite are preferential. this is an enjoyable sipper. not going to blow you off your feet- but its good juice. fruit on the end.
Dense nutty syrup nose. Less heat than anticipated. Astringent oak and spice. Peanut brittle. Drying, lingering heat.
Nose: vanilla, dried fruit, a little leather Taste: space, oak, vanilla, nutty
