What bourbon are you drinking now?

As you're sitting in front of your computer reading this forum, what's in your glass? http://www.straightbourbon.com/forum...emlins/yum.gif http://www.straightbourbon.com/forum.../icon_pidu.gif

OFFBB Spring 1990, definetly one of my favourites http://www.straightbourbon.com/forum...ns/bowdown.gif

Well, right this second I'm not drinking anything... but already I can tell that this day is going to call for some serious... tasting... http://www.straightbourbon.com/forum...miley_acbt.gif

So, with that in mind, I will probably have one of my work buddies over to the house and sit back with a few pours of ERSB or Old Forrester 100 proof (or both!) http://www.straightbourbon.com/forum.../icon_pidu.gif.

Cheers! http://www.straightbourbon.com/forum...lins/toast.gif

George T Stagg, 131.8 Spring 2005 Lot B. I would concur with the distillery, "robust" is an appropriate description. I'm not a good enough taster to taste the orange that others have found, but I have oak and anisette in abundance.

A little Rock Hill to get started and on to some Blanton's.
ORVW 15yo 107 for a night cap...... http://www.straightbourbon.com/forum...lins/toast.gif

I'm also having a small pour of Spring Stagg. The predominant aroms is...hops. That's right, hops. Not from the bourbon mind you, but I just finished racking an IPA from primary to secondary and I have Centennial hop residue on my hands from where I am dry-hopping for aroma.

Ahem...back to the bourbon. I get the citrus notes upon which others have commented, but I also get a good dose of spice (allspice, nutmeg, cinnimon). So the underlying flavor/aroma is of russian/spice tea. http://www.straightbourbon.com/forum...emlins/yum.gif

Except for the Blanton's, that's my ultimate combination! http://www.straightbourbon.com/forum...lins/toast.gif

How is the Spring Stagg compared to last year's Stagg? (Same style/quality, better, not as good, etc.)

I happen to prefer last years to all others, but this is still quite good! http://www.straightbourbon.com/forum...emlins/yum.gif

Thanks. I will bring a bottle to the Gazebo Saturday night. If we don't drink it, maybe someone will want it real bad. http://www.straightbourbon.com/forum...emlins/lol.gif http://www.straightbourbon.com/forum...lins/toast.gif
