George T. Stagg 2014 Release. Image courtesy Buffalo Trace. The flagship of the Buffalo Trace Antique Collection, this uncut and unfiltered Bourbon has a spicy, aromatic nose with notes of clove, leather, honey, vanilla, caramel, and touches of dark chocolate. The taste is as intense as ever with cinnamon and chili powder dominating the palate, then fading slowly to reveal mouth-watering honey, vanilla, caramel, and dark chocolate notes along with the lingering spices that last through the very long finish. Excellent! (September, 2014)
