George T Stagg 140.6 proof

I just picked up a bottle today; my first Stagg. Just out of curiosity, how do you guys think this compares to other releases?

Currently sipping on some Knob Creek, so I won't have a chance to try it right away.

That is this year's bottling. I've had the 2004 (129 proof), Spring '05 (131.8 proof), Fall '05 (141.2 proof) and this year's bottling, and none of them have been disappointing to me.

I'd give the '06 the edge for the over-140-proof Hazmat bottles (but I haven't had the original '03 142 proof Hazmat I); however, it's just by a razor-thin margin.
