2019 Ultimate Spirits Challenge

Stagg Jr. Kentucky Straight Bourbon (United States), 63.2% abv, $49.99

Excellent,
Highly Recommended

Tasting Note:

This barrel-proof bottling is a real powerhouse. With water, toffee, crème brulée, honey-roasted nuts, orange oil, and sweet vanillan come out and there is an indelible sweetness that drives these robust flavors. The finish is very long and complex.
