George T. Stagg Bourbon Whiskey 2020 is luscious and sweet with rich notes of caramel, vanilla, ripe cherries, with hints of tobacco smoke.

History
George T. Stagg Bourbon Whiskey 2020 is a limited release spirit that is crafted with a tradition in mind. It is bottled at 130.4 proof this year. It has been aged fifteen years and four months. Master Distiller Harlen Wheatley cites barrels are located on the lower warehouse floor. “Many of the barrels for this year’s Stagg composite were taken from the first floor of the warehouse. The first floor is cooler with higher humidity levels, therefore the alcohol evaporates faster than the water.” The taste, however, is still what Stagg fans can expect. This year’s release contains bourbon from barrels filled in the spring of 2004. Storage location of these barrels varied across warehouses L, K, and Q. The evaporation loss for this year’s batch was 59%, a bit higher than last year’s release.
