It is a beast, yet very complex. The high proof will wake you up in a hurry. After I got past the initial shock it seem to smooth out to become one of my favorite bourbons of all time. I have yet to add a drop of water.

I am a Kentucky Tea man also, but I think that Stagg is a hair too strong for my taste. Even conceding that there are many high quality powerhouse bourbons produced today, I would submit that any spirit over 120 proof becomes problematic as far as flavor profile is concerned due to the high alcoholic strength.
