New Bourbon Lover

Mack,

That's great that you found a bottle of Stagg still on the shelves. With the 2007 release just around the corner, you are fotunate to have found an '06 bottle. My suggestion would be to cut the Stagg down to a drinkable proof. While I have had the Stagg at bottled proof, I believe the high alcohol masks many of the flavors, both dominant and subtle that exist in a good bourbon (especially this one). The next release of GTS will be 144+ proof, or as it will be known, Hazmat IV. Enjoy.

yes - i was quite excited to find the hazmat in stock (it was just like when i found an old Russell's Reserve 101 in Boston last year and the Kentucky Legend my brother found for me this past month...).

i'm also looking forward to this year's releases. unfortunately, as i live north of 60, i have to wait until the next time i'm stateside, which usually means the limited releases are sold out....

I also picked up a Kentucky Spirit (05 bottling), Baker's, and EC12 with the Stagg this past trip... None of these are available in Ontario.
