9 out of 10, OutstandingStagg Bourbon
Stagg · Bourbon · 130.2 proof · Cask strength
Cherry and dark chocolate on the nose, then a wall of oak that somehow stays sweet. Hot at full proof, but a few drops of water turn it into brownie batter and cinnamon. The best Stagg batch I have opened in a couple of years.
