Final Thoughts
One of the most highly praised batches, Batch 12 explodes on the nose with dark cherry, molasses, cinnamon, and rich oak. On the palate, layers of dark chocolate, brown sugar, roasted coffee, and spice create a decadent yet powerful experience. The mouthfeel is thick and oily, coating every corner of the palate with intensity. The finish is extremely long, with notes of charred oak, leather, and baking spice lingering for minutes. Best enjoyed neat in small pours, it pairs wonderfully with smoked brisket, espresso brownies, or a full-bodied cigar. A benchmark batch for Stagg Jr. collectors.
