George T Stagg Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey 15 year old. 750ml. Free shipping. 141.4 proof.

An extremely hearty whiskey. Stagg comes straight out of the barrel, uncut and unfiltered. Powerful and intense; add a few drops of mineral water, sit back and ponder the wonders of the universe.

This whiskey is produced at the scenic Buffalo Trace Distillery in Frankfort. This is not a single barrel but a small batch from the mixing of a very small group of barrels (part of the antique series). You can taste the corn and rye, a seeming signature from this distillery, which end up smelling like leather, toffee, spices, and mint. You can smell the oaks influence on the whiskey in the peppery scent towards the end. Lots of dark fruit smells at the end as well.

"This bourbon is a challenge to all others. It sets the standard for bourbon, and shows how great a whiskey it can be. It gives most, if not all single malt scotches a run for their money when it comes to craftsmanship and quality. As close to perfection in bourbon as it gets. " - Spirits Review

Since this whisky was laid down long before the popularity of bourbon now, production is far less than demand as you can't suddenly make more. Indeed the earliest we might see a lot more is about 12 years from now (best guess). In the interim people are performing desperate acts to get hold of it - Don't blame them!
