For almost a decade, the robust Stagg Jr. Bourbon Whiskey matures in small batches and is bottled unfiltered at approximately 64.85% ABV, preserving the rich and complex flavors of the cask. This 2015 bottling from the Buffalo Trace Distillery in the United States is an exceptional example of Kentucky Straight Bourbon, offering a unique and unforgettable taste experience. Uncork and pour, and its powerful aroma will greet you from an arm's distance. The nose features an old-school meets new age profile with notes of praline pecan pie, German chocolate cake, buttery toffee, and earthy vanilla bean. The palate mirrors these notes, with additional flavors such as Bailey's Irish cream, banana bread with walnuts, sweet and spicy tobacco, crème brûlée, and tropical earthiness. The finish is long and complex, with spicy, creamy, and dessert-like notes, ending with a hint of smoke and mint lingering minutes later. This bourbon loves water; it needs dilution to fully unlayer its complexity, making it well-balanced even at a 40/60 ratio. Truly unforgettable, it's a bourbon best enjoyed with quality bottled spring water to explore its full potential.
