Drinking my first sample of this now...
I'll start with Wow. This is a man amongst boys as it pertains to my past/whiskey bourbon experience..which isn't vast by any means, but I've had my share.
The only comparison I can make is to Macallan Cask Strength...and where I found that to be enjoyable, albeit with little finesse....the Stagg is sweet up front, with notes of toffe and vanilla, yet finishes bold and a lot going on. I started neat, but the flavors were just to bold, so I added a splash of water and that really opened it up and rounded this out nicely. 140 proof warms your cheeks and socks you in the gut. But an experience that I'll gladly repeat again over and over until the bottle is gone.
If you see it, and enjoy a nice borboun whiskey, buy it. I don't think it's possible for this one to disappoint you.
It was $78 and change for the bottle btw Wheel.
