Stagg Batch 18 (Winter 2022)
131 proof NAS Bourbon Buffalo Trace Frankfort, KY Low rye (estimated below 10%)

Peppermint spice and cinnamon with an unusual minty or sassafras note. Somewhat distinctive compared to other Stagg expressions, with a slight singe effect on the nose hairs.

Opens with a buttery wash across the front of the mouth then abruptly jumps to the back palate, leaving the middle comparatively quiet and underexplored. No fruit or substance in the center. A disjointed delivery.

Dry with a lengthy persistence, settling firmly at the back of the mouth. The finish lingers but arrives without mid-palate support.

Lackluster
A disjointed and fragmented experience where the front-to-back delivery lacks cohesion, with the finish never compensating for the absent middle palate.
