Stagg Jr. - Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey Batch 15
Batch 15 (Winter, 2020) – 131.1 Proof, heavy-hitting and hearty! Another scintillating release from Stagg Jr, Batch 15 Barrel Proof Bourbon is a rich and robust bourbon defined by lush praline and brown sugar, powerful potency on the palate, and a long luscious finish that's beautifully complemented by nuanced orange peel, pepper, and oak notes. Staying true to the recipe that has made Stagg Jr a household name, Batch 15 is not to be missed by collectors and connoisseurs.
Nose – Strong and bold. Right away there’s a prominent showing of oak and vanilla. A touch of that dusty warehouse comes through, and then it rolls into a creamy nougat and caramel. You catch just a twist of apple on the nose but it’s between waves of spice and dark candy.
Taste – There’s a noticeable throttle twist of heat that wakes up your senses quick, but as it fades it leaves a really satisfying coating of toffee and caramel on the palate. The darker flavors really play a big role here. Oak and spice play off caramel and a seriously enjoyable butter toffee.
Finish – A long warm Kentucky hug hangs onto most of your body here. The warehouse funkiness and light touch of apple come back around here then work with a dark chocolate caramel candy finish.
