and orange notes can be found, while there is ample sweetness, spice and a deep, overarching
oakiness. Arguably the most interesting release from Stagg Jr, Batch 8 is a masterpiece of
creative and inspired whiskey craftsmanship.…

Batch 6 (Spring, 2016) – 132.5 Proof A welcoming punch in the face. Extreme heat and grandiose
flavor are the defining characteristics of Stagg Jr's Batch 6 release, a heavyweight that offers
exceptional, and almost awakening levels of heat and spice that don't overwhelm the nuanced
hints of sweet cream, toffee, and vanilla. There is something different about the cherry in Batch 6,
as if it has taken on a candy-like form, but it is the perfect foil for the robust and rich body - an
out-of-body experience inducing bourbon.…

Batch 10 (Spring, 2018) – 126.4 Proof Spritely and seductive. One of the lighter and more
drinkable Stagg Jr releases, Batch 10 represents a slight departure from the oft 130+ proof recipe
which the brand is known for. Uncut, unfiltered, and using the same BT no. 1 mashbill as all
previous releases, Batch 10 features brighter cherry and fruit notes and is perhaps more
representative of the season in which it was bottled, Spring. A divine barrel-proof bourbon that is
still no slouch on heat, for those who have experience the heavy-hitting power of Stagg, Batch 1……

Batch 3 (Fall, 2014) – 132.1 Proof Third times the charm. For many, Stagg Jr's Batch 3 release in
Fall 2014 was the most considered and complete of the initial three, combining the intense,
incredible heat for which Stagg was gaining cult status and acclaim, but with a more refined,
subdued catalog of flavors and a more well rounded, complex profile. Lashing of cherry not seen
before, and sweet vanilla are abundant while the mouthfeel is reminiscent of silk or butter - a fan
favorite among collectors and truly inspired bourbon whiskey.…
