  • The balance of oak and sweetness is really nice, and certainly reminds me of a slightly less tamed version of George T. Stagg, which it is. But it definitely feels like the gap between them is closing.

  • Stagg Jr. remains what it has always aimed to be: A big and burly mini-me to the brash unicorn that is George T. Stagg. While this batch may not show Stagg Jr. at the best of its batches, it remains a top shelf offering that’s worth picking up.
