The 2025 George T. Stagg release features intense notes of dark chocolate, cherry, vanilla, molasses, and toasted oak on the nose, leading to a palate with bold caramel, burnt sugar, dark fruits, roasted nuts, and baking spices, finishing long, warm, and spicy with oak char and pepper. As a high-proof, uncut, unfiltered release (around 142.8 proof), expect a powerful, complex, and layered experience with deep oak and rich sweetness, balanced by spice.
