 Hi guys, thanks for tuning in. I'm Brian Sacawa, here with my buddy Chris, and today we're going to be tasting Stagg Junior. All right, Stagg Junior, Chris, what can you tell us about it? Stagg Junior from the Buffalo Trace Distillery in Frankfurt, Kentucky is a tribute to George T. Stagg, the founder of the original Stagg Distillery. Unlike Stagg Senior, which is part of the Buffalo Trace antique collection, and nearly impossible to get, Stagg Junior can be had. And it is worth it. I have actually had the George T. Stagg, the regular Stagg, completely amazing for the price. If you can find Stagg Junior though, it's a really good buy. Absolutely. This bourbon is aged somewhere in the 9 to 10 year range, depending on what barrels they pull. And it is barrel proof, and it is one of the highest proof bourbons you'll be able to get on the market. The bottle reads 132.1 proof. So this is a beast. So, one of my all-time favorite bourbons, let's try it. Let's go for it. All right. All right, so the first thing I notice about this bourbon is the amazing color. Yes. So it's got a great color, does that mean something about the bourbon? Well, it means that it's just absorbed a lot of the oak from its aging process. And it's almost like a gorgeous, it leans towards a ruby color. It really stands out on a shelf when it's next to lower proof bourbons. So it's easy to find if you're looking for it. It just soaks into your palate and just sits there and just... Pretty amazing. And as we talked about in our first video for the Will It 2 Year, when you're tasting a really intense, high-proof whiskey like this, you just want to take a little bit at a time. This is not one you're going to be like doing shots of. That's right. I prefer to get a little bit in the front of my mouth and almost chew on it a little bit. Just let it sit there. And let it wash over my palate slowly. So what kind of flavors are you getting out of this one? This bourbon, also another one of my favorite bourbons, gives me some distinct flavors. I get a lot of sweetness from it, brown sugar. Also though, there's a predominating flavor of, I hate to get too technical with what I'm saying, but it reminds me of a leathery pipe tobacco store. It just gets fantastic. Yeah, we talked about this before. Not like a Cavendish, but like the whole experience. The whole walking into the tobacco store. The whole shebang. You walk in there, you get the leather arm chairs for the pipe smokers to sit in, and you get the blend of all the pipe tobaccos in one. It's just fantastic. It's very luxurious whiskey. So George T. Stagg Jr., fantastic whiskey, definitely give it a try, and please subscribe to the YouTube channel. We love bringing you these videos. Leave a comment. If you've tried Stagg Jr., let us know what you think about it, and also let us know any whiskeys you'd like us to try in the future, or whiskeys that you particularly like. Thanks for watching, guys. There you go. Right? Bam. Yeah, I told you. Told you. Well, we got to do the outro. Yeah. Okay. It's impossible to get. Have you had it? I have not even had it. I've had it. I've had it, like, twice. Someone better than me. We're good for you. We're good for you. We're good for you. We're good for you. I could do that again.
