Powerful and intense; add a few drops of mineral water, sit back and ponder the wonders of the universe.

Tasting notes: This offers up warming ginger, candied orange, and wisps of furniture polish. The lavish and leathery oak flavors are apparent but don’t overwhelm the abundance of zippy, bright citrus—orange oil and yuzu—as the palate unleashes wave upon wave of spices that keep you guessing where it will head next. In the end, more lingering ginger and dusty cocoa. 95 points - whiskyadvocate.com ABV will vary depending on vintage and year. View our video blog here.

George T Stagg Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey
The George T Stagg releases are becoming legendary. This year’s Stagg was double distilled in the Spring of 1990 from Kentucky Corn, Minnesota Rye and North Dakota Malted Barley. The whiskey was found on the eighth floor of Warehouse I with 89 barrels being bottled without filtration after sixteen years and three months maturation. Nearly 60% of the original spirit was lost to evaporation. The result is yet another classic Stagg expression. Named “World Whiskey of the Year” three years in a row by famed whiskey writer Jim Murray. If you are after a particular year, please enquire before placing your order.Price / Unit | Bottle |
