[ 90-95 points, 'Superb/Highly Recommended,' Wine Enthusiast: The bouquet has a dry, grainy aroma which is accented by peppery/spicy scents. The palate entry is surprisingly sweet and corny, considering how dry the aroma is; the midpalate point is deep, corny sweet, sap-like and a bit syrupy. Ends up well and balanced, with a backnote of dried red fruit (raisins, prunes).

[ 99 points The Tasting Panel: The sweet coconut-caramel nose sways you in: a brass-rail aroma that wins you over at first sniff. And on the palate, a gentle soaking of the tongue from this 84.8-proof spirit is like having a cinnamon-covered butterscotch candy melt to reveal a red pepper core. The heat quickly lifts and the notes of summer peach and nectar of apricot are there hiding in the background, only to appear with each revered sip.

[ George T. Stagg built the most dominant American distillery of the 19th century, during a time known as the Gilded Age of Bourbon. Uncut and unfiltered, this robust bourbon whiskey ages for nearly a decade and boasts the bold character that is reminiscent of the man himself. Rich, sweet, chocolate and brown sugar flavors mingle in perfect balance with the bold rye spiciness. The boundless finish lingers with hints of cherries, cloves and smokiness. ] George T.

[ 96-100 points Wine Enthusiast: The nosing passes pick up seductive aromatic notes of toasted walnut, dried red fruits, marzipan, black pepper, spices, cocoa and marshmallow. Entry is zesty, fruity, candied and almost Sherry-like; the midpalate bursts with flavors of cocoa, dark chocolate, chocolate covered almond, coffee, tobacco and dark caramel. Ends smooth, silky, toffee sweet and honeyed.

[ 94 points Wine Enthusiast: Pleasnatly sweet nose. Medium body and sticky-toffee flavor. This would be great mixed into cocktails, because the flavor is smooth but bold at the same time; it would blend without being completely lost. Finishes mellow, smooth, with just enough alcohol bite. Easy to like. Think Manhattans or Old-Fashioneds. (Sep 2010) ] 94 points Wine Enthusiast: Pleasnatly sweet nose. Medium body and sticky-toffee flavor.

[ ***** Highest Recommendation, Spirit Journal: ...balance between the alcohol, the oak, and the grain... all seem to be pulling the wagon in harmony... leathery, mildly sweet breakfast cereal , honeyed graininess.

[ 90 points Wine Enthusiast: This small-batch Bourbon is made with whiskeys aged 11 years and older. Made with brown rice in addition to corn, this deep amber whiskey has an aroma that mixes vanilla, dried fruit and a touch of red fruit. On the palate, it's full-bodied and oily, showing oak, dried orange peel, red fruit and vanilla. Though it's drying and feels relatively hot, adding water softens the heat and brings out more vanilla and caramel. Limited edition.

[ 95 points Robert Parker: A sensational Kentucky straight bourbon whiskey, this single barrel project is a powerful, pedal-to-the-metal, balls-to-the-walls style of bourbon that has been aged 10 years... Seemingly bigger than that in the mouth, it is full- bodied with lots of caramelized citrus, maple syrup, smoky crème brûlée and cappuccino-like notes as well as terrific fruit from the fermentation. The wood is only a complementary aspect of this velvety textured, full throttle bourbon. It appears to be a classic.
