George T Stagg

Difficult to give advice if you don't have a Connosr cabinet or previous posts. The Stagg is really f-ing HOT. That's not necessarily a bad thing, it's full of flavours, but too hot to enjoy neat imho. With a bit of water it opens up nicely - it's a flavour bomb and yes, it's really that good.

I tried GTS for the first time recently, neat. It is F-ing hot that's true! I slowly added drops of water to find the optimal dilution for enjoyment and was surprised at how much I added. It still packed a punch!

For me it´s pure LOVE in a glass...and I agree with WhiskyNotes and Jean-Luc...its f-ing HOT but in a good way...

Taste is so individual that it is always a good idea if you can, to try a dram before investing in a premium whiskey, particularly at Stagg UK prices. This I promise you, @JackSkellington, George T. Stagg bourbon will not bore you.

Its for Christmas? Treat yourself to something special...and GTS is something special!

Rumors of GT Stagg hitting Seattle shelves next week. I'll try to get one. I've had one bottle a year for three years now. It's going for US$80 a 750ML bottle, if you can get one. Many stores have waiting lists and are only getting 3-6 bottles each.

I think it's an awesome drink. At 140 proof it's really two bottles in one. Nearly killed my old dad with a neat pour last year. Even after a bout of coughing he admitted it was great.

I chickened out shelling out £100 on something before I tried it and stuck with two old faithfulls for Christmas drams- Highland Park 18 and Talisker 10!
