George T. Stagg 2019 Release 116.9 Proof

Fall 2019

Nose: Aromas of concord grape jelly, vanilla crumb cake, dusty baking spice, leather, tobacco barn, iced tea, and peanut shells are offset by citrus peel and rose oil, especially prominent with a bit of water added.

Palate: The bold, rich palate is packed with dark berries, baking spice, semisweet chocolate, espresso, and pops of citrus fruit and spearmint adding liveliness and verve.

Finish: It finishes with blackberry cobbler, dark chocolate, leathery oak, and undercurrents of black pepper and baking spice that don’t quit. Restrained and elegant, even at full proof.
