Age: 17 years and 7 months. Eye: Armagnac, aged 20 years or more. Beautiful. Thin stable rims with no legs. . Nose: A touch muted, fruity, barely any proof (reminder: this is 143º). Burnt almond skins, roasted hazelnuts, proof ekes out. Quite vinous, Armagnac-y - this is a very promising nose. . Palate: Thereâs the heat! But itâs not numbing or overpowering. Lots of roasted mixed nuts with a couple of raisins and dark chocolate chunks thrown in. Not your typical George T. Stagg palate, delicious anyway. Mouthfeel is dry at first without being oaky, with lots of wine-soaked peppercorns, spice, more proof coming out and building. Mouthwatering and coating. . Finish: Medium length, no flavor outshines another and none are lost. Roasted almonds and hazelnuts, chewy cherry chocolate and dried fruits. Heat lingers pleasantly. . Overall: Damn thatâs a fine bourbon. Top five batch for sure. For 143 proof, it remains eminently drinkable as the flavors playfully banter back and forth. I truly enjoyed this one, and Iâm amazed thereâs so little oak for 17 years 7 months old.
