The nose dances with candy corn, caramel and woody notes. The first small sip explodes with the flavors the name is known for: leather, wood, the old wood paneled study in the back of the house that you imagine your father would have worked at while he smoked his pipe if you had been a child of that era when fathers smoked pipes while they worked in wood paneled studies. Strangely, this version is quite sippable neat, even at its full strength, and while adding water is the sane thing to do, it really shouldn't be done as it brings out a mildew and chewiness which interrupts the essential, if simplistic perfection of this year's Stagg.
