George T. Stagg Bourbon
Released only once a year around the holiday season, George T. Stagg bourbon is in stores now. This is a very limited, barrel proof release (144 proof) by the folks at Buffalo Trace. It is amazing stuff, very sweet, with rich aromas of caramel, and brown spices, and a balanced, woody finish. I have been a big fan of the older Van Winkle bourbons for a long time, but this puts them in the shade. Note that the price is deceptively high at around $60 a bottle. It has to be diluted, and by nearly half. (You can TRY it uncut, and for about two seconds it will be amazing . . . up until it turns into a little swallow of napalm. Believe me, I know.)
It isn't available everywhere, but it's worth a search. I had this with one of the new Peppin Garcia Centurion cigars. A hedonistic experience if ever there was one!
