Final Thoughts
A legendary release that helped cement Stagg Jr.’s cult status, Batch 9 opens with bold aromas of cherry cola, molasses, charred oak, and baking spice. The palate is dense and chewy, offering notes of dark chocolate, cinnamon, caramel, and black pepper layered over oak depth. The finish is massive, with waves of spice, oak, and sweet molasses lingering endlessly. Bottled at a staggering 131.9 proof, it’s unapologetically bold and best approached slowly. Pair with smoked ribs, dark roast coffee, or rich fruitcake. A batch that exemplifies the brand’s signature balance of intensity and flavor.
