George T. Stagg on sale at Hitimewine. Link.
This is version 3, read my review of version 2 here.
From the ad copy:
Limited Edition 65.90% alcohol by volume. 131.8 proof
Uncut and unfiltered, and of an age and quality that only more than two centuries of experience can bring, Buffalo Trace Distillery offers this bourbon as a testament to quality, tradition, and innovation, and to the struggle to preserve and prosper where most others have failed, which is what George T Stagg and his namesake bourbon are all about. We can think of no better tribute!
This is from a recent Wine Enthusiast article that gave George T Stagg 15 year old bourbon a 90-95 point rating.
"First whiffs pick up potent scents of alcohol and rancio; after seven minutes in the glass, layers of walnut butter, linseed oil, charred oak, _mocha and minerals enchant the nose. Palate entry is hot, caramel-like and sweet; midpalate offers intense flavors of raisins and other dried fruit, oak, marzipan and that touch of nobility, rancio. Finishes boldly, richly and with enough heat to keep your attention. This cask strength bourbon and others like it are the most balanced when the alcohol level hovers between 45-50%, so add a generous splash of mineral or spring water."
REGULAR PRICE $79.99
SALE PRICE $49.99
