We lastly revisited Stagg Jr. final yr after an extended hiatus. Trying again, I suppose it’s shocking that it took so lengthy for a youthful George T. Stagg bourbon to realize collectible, cult standing, however now the obsession with this bottle is making it even onerous for us to discover a pattern. Fortunately, I secured a little bit of the newest launch, Batch 15, which made its debut on the tail finish of 2020. We’ll do our degree finest to maintain you up to date on future releases, no less than till the cash runs out. As all the time, that is an 8 yr outdated bourbon bottled at barrel energy and certain marked as much as no less than twice the urged retail value (or extra).
On the nostril, this Stagg Jr. evokes much less woodshop than earlier releases, with an aroma that’s nearly muted by comparability. However give it time, and syrupy molasses and brown sugar notes develop and stick with the within of the glass. There’s a well-known BBQ aspect to it, however it’s candy and mildly smoky with refined mesquite and black pepper notes. The palate is daring with beneficiant clove and a minty, darkish chocolate observe harking back to York Peppermint Patties. It’s warming to the core, with the fabled “Kentucky hug” on full show. Juicy black cherry arrives on the mid-palate simply as that smoldering warmth begins to reignite into the beneficiant end, including heat to a cupboard filled with baking spice, black tea, and licorice. One other winner.
