While it is the lowest proof George T. Stagg ever produced (Stagg is typically over 130 proof and often over 140 proof), it is still a high proof bourbon relatively speaking at 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.
Nose: Sweet raisins, brown sugar, and burnt oak cascade over a bed of rye spice. It’s quite pleasant and inviting.
Palate: Rich and bursting with flavors of raisins, cherries, vanilla, caramel, and seasoned oak. Typical of the brand, its depth and complexity are notable attributes.
Finish: A nice pop of rye spice at the onset, the finish shifts to sweeter flavors of cane sugar and burnt caramel. Hints of oak and tobacco also come into play, but fight for attention beyond the sweeter notes.
