Stagg Jr. Batch 15

Nose

grape, cola, cherry, sweet oak, caramel, vanilla, slight tart apple / raspberry…? Classic Stagg

Palate

grape, baking spices, barrel char and spice making everything nice. Hit with a nice sweet / tart fruit and followed up with a spicy char / cherry. Fantastic. This has a lot more depth to it than some of the recent batches. Tastes smoother as well.

Finish

cola ish note, cherry syrup, barrel spice with a light-medium finish. The finish comes up to a nice level, lingers then dissipates very well. It's a great sip. Surprisingly approachable.

Verdict

A phenomenal batch and a great representation of the Stagg profile — balanced, easy-drinking, and deep, though not quite as punchy as I'd like.
