George T Stagg bottled 2013

This Stagg was distilled in Spring of 1997 and aged in warehouses I,K, and Q. It's one of the weakest Staggs released in years in terms of ABV.

Nose: Oak, pine, coffee, brown sugar, sugar cane, raisins, prunes, dates.

Taste: Big body and weight on this. It's dry and spicy. You get flavors of raisins, the dates, prunes, along with rum, barrel char, anise. However, it's somewhat sour.

Finish: Hard candy. anise, char. The finish is rather creamy and very long.

This Stagg is still a very nice Bourbon but I feel that it's weaker than previous releases. Maybe my expectations are just too high. At any rate, this is a fine pour just not the best of the Antique Collection.
