BOTM 12/08: George T Stagg '08

[OscarV]

Hey Oscar,

Didn't you and I try this one neat at our get together a few weeks ago? If I remember right, I couldn't believe how great it tasted for such a high proof. Or, was I drinking something else with you that I now no longer remember?

Yep that's the one and at a whopping 141.8 prf you'd never know.
Also you said that night that you did not like wheaters but you liked Stagg's BTAC Brother William Larue Weller(125.3prf).

Correction: He said he preferred rye-recipe to wheaters, not that he didn't like wheaters.

Thanks Doc, glad someone is watching over me.

No prob, boss.

Speaking of which, maybe I should mosey down to your place to help drink some of your 2008 Stagg!

Actually, Oscar was right. I said I really didn't like wheaters until I tried a couple at our sampling. I also never tried them "up" - always on the rocks. I could really taste the flavors better without the ice. I still prefer the rye's, but will now have a more open mind when trying a wheater. I also remember commenting on how mild the alchohol kick was with the Stagg compared to a high proof bourbon like bookers.

Damn...I hate it when that happens. Then again, it almost always happens!

missed a bottle by the last second several weeks ago....went to my local PLCB store in Media PA....they kindly accomadated me, told me my options, put in a transfer....said it might take a long time....

it didn't!

got my bottle today....they gave me the cool little 3-bottle box it shipped in and it had the 'tissue' AND the BT letter enclosed. nice.

the sipping is even nicer.

thanks! it's a treat to have this bottle to nurse through these snowier days. i am waiting for the weekend to do my tasting notes. initial sips last night confirm this will be a pleasure ... and a sad day it is emptied
