Help! George T. Stagg Fall 2006

[tobby4]

So I decided to have a glass of this last night before dinner...
Damn that stuff is good but strong as hell.. 3 ice cubes and a splash of water..

 

[Jwrussell]

Yeppers. PO-TENT. I've actually found it's really good as a follow up to a lighter bourbon as well. Considering its price, the fact that you need to dilute it so much is actually not all that bad a thing, right? :wink:

 

[tobby4]

it was my first drink of the night... it was good.. I dont know how much i could drink though

 

[Jwrussell]

Eh, it's most definitely sippin' whisky bro'. I had a nice pour of Eagle Rare 17 year the other night and followed it up with a small pour of the Stagg. I hadn't eaten anything since lunch and the combo about knocked me on my ass. We should be an interesting bunch at the Herf. lol.

 

[tobby4]

Yea I had not really eaten when i drank it last night.. and I poured like 4 fingers...

 

[Jwrussell]

Holy crap! Before the ice? That's a healthy fricking pour man!

 

[tobby4]

well there were only 3 cubes so together I guess...

Yea it was pretty tall. I think I fell asleep before i finished it.... it was a long day yesterday..

Waiting to taste mine at my son's graduation party this Saturday!!!

Is that to try with him or to ease the pain.:grin:

 

[smokem94]

Both!!!!

 

[tobby4]

its stiff that is for damn sure..

 

[jwintosh]

absolutely love it! a follow-up after the 17 yr sounds like a great idea!

 

[Jwrussell]

It worked really well. Nice contrasts. Last night I had a pour after some Baker's. Just a little taste really.

 

[smokem94]

I now have 4 beautiful, shiny bottles of this nectar......tomorrow is the day!

 

[tobby4]

I like it but dont know about 4 bottles worth.. Enjoy the day Mike

 

[Jwrussell]

Well, I ended up with 4 as well, but one is going to another bourbon fancier who hasn't been able to locate any. I also managed to pick up bottles of the 2005 vintage in a trade. I'm going to wait for the 2007 release and do a vertical tasting. Should be interesting.

 

[smokem94]

After the vertical tasting you will be horizontal!!

 

[tobby4]

After the vertical tasting you will be horizontal!!

nice Mike..

 

[Jwrussell]

LMAO, too true. We'll see. It's going to take alot for me to open 4 bottles at once.

 

[smokem94]

Open them one at a time....it will be easier!!!:hysterica
