Subtle hints of dark fruits, including plum and cherry, mingle with undertones of baking spices, creating a complex and inviting aroma. Palate: On the palate, George T. Stagg Bourbon Whiskey delights with its velvety smoothness and an explosion of flavors. Rich caramel, toffee, and butterscotch coat the tongue, followed by layers of oak, leather, and tobacco that add depth and complexity. A symphony of spices, including cinnamon, nutmeg, and black pepper, dance gracefully across the palate, balancing the sweetness with a subtle warmth. Finish: The finish is long and lingering, with echoes of caramel, spice, and oak that fade into a gentle warmth.
