Other Products ｜George T. Stagg 2023 Bourbon Whiskey (135 Proof)

Breaking Bourbon called the 2023 George T. Stagg the king of that year's Antique Collection — fifteen years and three months old, uncut and unfiltered at 135 proof, and remarkably balanced for it. Stagg is the flagship of the Buffalo Trace Antique Collection: barrel-proof bourbon from Buffalo Trace's low-rye Mashbill #1, aged around fifteen years, and named for the 1880s owner of the distillery. The 2023 release is from barrels filled in spring 2008 and bottled at 135 proof with nothing added or removed. Breaking Bourbon: blackstrap molasses, dark honey, barrel char, and raisin on a nose that stays balanced despite the proof; barrel char, raisin, graham cracker, baking spice, brown sugar, and aged oak on the palate, the raisin leading; and a chewy finish of dry char, rye spice, dark fruit, light leather, and lingering spice — high proof and long age without aggression. VinePair reviewed it favorably the same season. Honest note: the gentlest of the recent Staggs at the proof and the one that converts skeptics of hazmat bourbon — dark, raisiny, and complete. A bottle that will not be seen at retail again. Neat, a few drops of water, slowly. Stagg, 2023.Buy George T. Stagg 2023 Bourbon Whiskey (135 Proof) online with fast shipping right to your door.
