Beautiful bourbon, nice amount of oak, brown sugar, vanilla and easy to drink. — 6 years ago
Golden raisin, strawberries, figs, cut red apple, sweet potato, lemon-dill, oregano, smoke and an almost sweet peat smell as sherry shoulders in. Orange is the backbone, from pure squeezed, to zest, oil and pith. Toast, cedar, humidor, and nougats with roasted almond and cashew from the oak. Very smooth and sensuous mouthfeel with immediate expansion of vanilla, mocha, toffee, and finally a shimmering cinnamon with tiny sparks of heat. Secondary voices of pencil, oregano, crepe caramel, lemon peel, shaved chocolate, buffalo grass that burns into a long finish, with jalapeño-turned-peat. This is extraordinary. I know they are coopering their own barrels on site, and I think it is making a fine whisky even finer. Kudos for this magical glory. — 6 years ago
Mash bill #1. — 7 years ago
Holy Smokes! This is crazy whiskey! Roasted corn in a hot caramel spiral with toffee and coffee notes. Unreal organic expressions of gum Arabic, banana cream, cocoanut, linseed oil, sunflower and hazelnut oils, redwoods, cherrywood, lemongrass, sweet leather and cigar box perfumes. Rosemary, bamboo, marinated leather and peppermint oils rise in smoke form to acquiesce to the heat of ephemeral perfection. #Stagg #bourbon #whiskey #lfk #ftw #bestbourbon — 8 years ago
