Stagg Jr. Batch 10
126.4 proof 8–9 years Bourbon Buffalo Trace Frankfort, KY $50 Buffalo Trace Mash Bill #1 (low rye)

Cinnamon and brown sugar lead, with leather and oak dominating. A hint of dark cherry emerges on closer inspection. No discernible fruit up front, but a layered, saddle-shop leather character.

Stout and warming, with no creaminess. Hits all taste buds across the tongue. Cherry begins to assert itself on the mid-palate. Brown sugar and allspice linger on the tail end.

A notably deep, sternum-level chest hug that radiates warmth deep into the core. Long and substantial, with an Anaconda-like compression in the chest.

Pleasant
A powerful, high-proof sipper with an unusual sternum-centric warmth and substantial finish, though the aggressive chest burn may not appeal to all palates.
