Stagg Jr. Batch 13, 128.4 Proof
128.4 proof Bourbon George T. Stagg (Buffalo Trace)

Rich and deep aroma, not too much alcohol on the nose despite the high proof.

Cinnamon hot candy, atomic fireball, chocolate, cocoa, red velvet cake mixed with chocolate cake, spicy cocoa puffs, habanero pepper, caramel, butterscotch. Wakes you up with significant alcohol presence. Becomes creamy and buttery sweet with water added.

Cherry, oak influence, alcohol right on the palate. Does not develop or open up significantly as you drink it; initial impact persists without major new expressions.

Really good
A high-proof powerhouse with bold spice and chocolate notes that delivers an intense Kentucky hug, though it plateaus quickly without developing additional complexity.
